DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING LESS THAN THAN A TRUE BRITISH FEELGOOD FILM I LAUGHED AND CRYRED AND CERSIE MAKES AN APPEARANCE
Shockingly bad. Boring and unfunny with a screenplay fit for a poor school production ( and that's insulting school plays).. My friend walked out halfway through and I should have gone with him. One of the worst bits of screen writing I've ever come across
This is one of those community spirited films in the manner of The Full Monty, and the Ealing comedies, that British film makers often do (but don't always do particularly well).
A fairly formulaic plot of 'let's get the old gang back together for the one last tilt at the establishment' is brought to life by some good acting and some very likable, and in some cases eccentric characters.
It's not full of belly laughs, but you can't help but have a smile on your face much of the time.
Stephen Graham, Julian Sands, Steve Furst and Jill Halfpenny all turn in great performances (Jill Halfpenny in particular), and there's some lovely Yorkshire scenery to enjoy.
Watched a while ago, and just remembered it. The information you need is it is unfunny and boring. The story is really bad, and you keep waiting for something interesting to happen and it never does. Not worth watching.
