Scottish Mussel

Cannot understand the 1/10 harsh review - 1 means its the worst film you have ever seen which this is not. Presumably its either because he/she was offended by the film being directed, written and acted by a woman who was married to Elon Musk and is giving it the "silver spoon" brush off or either offended at a Scottish movie with mostly English actors in it - who knows but the film is worth a watch with your partner as it is most definitely not just a womans movie as I quite enjoyed it and am a bit of an old romantic at heart myself.

Contrary to what that reviewer thinks I thought most of the acting was pretty good especially from Talulah Riley and Martin Compston. I thought they were great actually and perhaps I am biased because I am from Glasgow but i enjoyed the humour even though a lot of the actors were actually English.

C'mon its got Harry Enfield the legend in it and many other comedy magic actors including James Dreyfus from the Thin Blue Line; nice to see him back again and Spudgun from The Young Ones so presumably the high budget of 5 mill on this one is because it had such an interesting cast.

Its not going to win any oscars but it has some moments of comedy magic in that typical Glasgow way which only us Weegies can fully appreciate especially; the pearl shop seller with his pearl necklace gag - you knew it was coming but it was still hilarious!

Not a bad effort at all from Talulah Riley at all, its just a shame that people want to bash her because she is the ex of Elon Musk which is a shame as she certainly has acting talent that is for sure and for her first directorial debut it was not half bad!

This is a light "feel good" romantic comedy that's fun to watch and warm-hearted. Plotwise it follows the boy meets girl, boy screws up, boy seeks redemption arc very effectively.

The pacing is perfect, and overall the acting is good with the notable exception of the odd American accent for boy's love rival. Why he has to be American is never really evident, although the character is pretty unbelievable to begin with, so being a foreigner may be the only reason? There are also a lot of characters and again it's not clear why that's necessary, but those are the only flaws. Harry Enfield is particularly well cast as the food truck owning mentor, and running mollusc jokes are well played.

This is not a movie with any serious pretensions and I really don't see why the first reviewer here has to spill so much bile over it. It's not going to win any Oscars and it isn't Serious Cinema (TM) -- did I mention it's fun and entertaining, in addition to being well made and edited? It's not awful, it's just a mostly well-executed light- hearted rom com.

Watched this with my husband and we both really enjoyed the film. What's not to like? Beautiful Scottish scenery, a quirky plot and some laugh out loud moments - usually involving Fraser. It's not going to win any awards but it will leave you with a little smile on your face.

I recorded this a while ago and finally got round to viewing it. What a lovely film. Beautiful scenery, comedy, a gorgeous otter. Simply superb. I just love Scottish humour and it was one of those films that leave you feeling good after watching it.

Fell over this, channel hopping and just a wee chill pill. Some typical Glasgow humour, local musical choices, fire in some fabulous Scottish landscapes & photography plus a 'save the endangered and how you grow into it' and you have a nice wee feelgood movie.
