This film actually cannot be described successfully without first being viewed. It is a film that I think everyone should have seen at some point in their life.
The storyline is written well, and it is clear from the beginning the film has been adapted from a play. But this does not hinder its effect whatsoever.In fact it makes me wish i'd have seen it as a play also.
Cillian Murphy looks delightful as ever, and I believe this film shows his incredible acting talent to the maximum. Elaine Cassidy also performs brilliantly as his soulmate, drifting away from him as they grow up.
The scenes are put together well, and I have such clear and beautiful images in my head , especially as Pig and Runts dream is acted out (KING AND QUEEN).
The soundtrack to the film is another strength, The music is haunting and fantastic.
This film I guarantee does exactly as it's tagline says. I have watched it everyday since I bought it. That to me says enough about it's brilliance. Please watch it. You won't regret.

Another remake. Pleasant jolly film, full of cameo roles including the Wilson brothers! Hoorah! This is one for the family that's for sure, with a few giggles and a happy ending. Much of the camera/map work is that of Moulin Rouge,which made the film interesting. Also the several locations used mean the audience doesn't get bored.
The only problem is that there is just not enough story for me to think 'wow' and also the humour was quite sparcley spread out.
John Cleese had the smallest part known to man, as did Macy Gray and Richard Branson, whereas other jems such as Robert Schneider, Arnie and as I said Owen and luke Wilson really picked up the smiles. But we must remember that half the joy from the film came from seeing these different faces and not the actual humour. Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge/ The Visitors/ Bridget Jones) was as usual the star of the show (that guy is amazing) and Steeve Coogan never ceased to amaze, but Jackie Chan is clearly ageing, and although he can still fight like a crazy maniac, he was not on top form.
Verdict: Go see it with the family, don't bother if not.
