Rita, Sue e Bob in più

This movie has stood up very well over the years. All the performances are excellent and the writing is better than that of any British film I can bring to mind. The fact that it was written by a very young woman is amazing. She had such a deep understanding of how the world works at such a young age and was able to turn it into a spectacularly entertaining and enduring work of art.

It's one of those films you can watch over and over again. In my repeat viewing chart it's probably second only to The Blues Brothers.

Great fun and they'll never make anything like this ever again.

It's not Hugh Grant in some over priced London suburb falling in love with hilarious results, It's not angry young men fighting against an unfair class system, it's not about forbidden homosexual partnerships or a mixing of Indian and British culture. This film shows a snap shot of British working class life as it was (and still is in many cases!). The British film industry's Liberal Elite hate this kind of movie as it attempts to show real people. Not every working class person has a chip on there shoulder! It's packed full of swearing and sex and even a little bit of violence. If you are easily offended don't watch, but if you fancy a realistic Brit flick that doesn't have Hugh Grant in it, then see this.

Where do i start? I brought my fiancé this DVD because he picked it out and i have to admit i was dreading watching it because i thought it would be sh*t, but i stand corrected it's totally funny i couldn't stop laughing. The story is a married man called Bob seduces the babysitters Ria and Sue in his car when parked out on the moors resulting in a hilarious sex scene. The three continue their relationship of casual sex and good times even though they know the truth will eventually be known.

As i said comedy is a big part of this film which is mainly from the common accents and swearing from practically the whole cast (especially Kevin, Sue's racist, drunkard dad). Other comedy moments are the old nosey neighbour (Hosepipe Harry) who spends the whole film watering his garden and the dance scene where Bob and the two girls are dancing to a song called "We're having a gang bang!" which is funny just for Rita's dancing (best moment in the film!) although a friend of Bob's wife (Fat F*ckin' Mavis) sees them and tells her leading to a full scale argument with the girls families and the married couple, which has more swearing in the 5 minute scene then a whole series of the Osbournes.

This is a great British film and anyone with a sense of humour will enjoy it!

.. talk like that and I'd get a belt .. hello 1980s how I've missed you. Before everyone gets up in arms about the smooth talking Bob and his two girls - these two girls at time of filming were both in their 20s!

This for me when I was watching back in 1987 was the closest we could get to porn. No internet porn. No adult channels. Only porn videos you could get from some dodgy fella at work. So this was it. We were having a gang bang. Having a born. A bit of a three some one the moors with the horn honking and smooth Bob telling you to shift your bum up whilst he prepared to go again with Rita.

Be prepared for some language no longer allowed now a days that was used to described the corner shop way back when and just take the film with a pinch of salt. Get stuck in there!

Middle aged, married man Bob starts a sexual fling with his babysitters, schoolgirls Rita and Sue.

The first thing to point out, they'd never get away with this film nowadays, I imagine that some will watch in horror, outraged by the storyline, a story that probably had more than a hint of realism.

It's almost impossible to explain what this film is, pretty much a comedy drama, but it's so much more. The sheer variety of content is still so impressive, it's funny, it's sad, it shows all sides of life, good and bad.

The performances are spot on, Costigan and Sharp are great, but Holmes and Finneran steal it.

Expect to see some wonderfully hideous 1980's decor, that pink leather sofa on the patterned red carpet, the green jardiniere, not the most stylish era.

It's a classic, but one where you'll need to remember the time it was made.

8/10.
