I laughed a few times during this film and it had the cast and story to be a real success however for all its potential it just feels extremely forced and cringeworthy for the majority not laughs and heartwarming as it should have aimed to be. That being said on the whole I still enjoyed it but I certainly wasn't blown away.
The movie says it's based on a true story but just right until the end when we see it is actually a true story :D :D
The story itself is inspirational and purposeful .. the script was a synchronized balance between comedy, drama and bit of romance ... Aschlin Ditta is pone brilliant talent and it just took ma back ages when i knew he was one of the writers on "The Catherine Tate Show" ... wow .. been long time...
final thought ... the movie is a really good movie with a good story and a lot of fun .. Recommended.

What an absolutely delightful film! If you want to see a feel-good movie of note, this is a very good choice - especially if you're middle-aged! Rob Brydon was excellent as Eric, a middle-aged man who's monotonous life is falling apart, and accidentally stumbles upon a way to feel good about himself again, and to escape from reality. This new life is beautifully filmed in contrast to his ordinary existence. The film features stunning imagery during his 'escape from reality' moments - especially the underwater scenes.
This is a beautiful, funny, uplifting film that will resonate with me for years to come, and one that I'm bound to watch again and again. The film also has a great soundtrack and score. LOVED it!

A swift and arguably quite touching film, I was pleasantly surprised by the content. Great characters and an oddly interesting story there's a lot on offer here, similar to the likes of Hot Fuzz in terms of quality and rewatch value it feels like there's plenty to see and quite a lot put across in roughly 90 minutes. At its core a message regarding male mental health it's not only a decent quality film but arguably a quite important one that is well worth a watch
Great fun film. Well directed and loads of stars. Acting was brilliant. Take it as you find it light hearted and a feel food film
