Posted on May 02 2012 07:04 A great feel good film with some good belly laughs. Calum McNab Is going to be around for a long time and will establish himself as one England's best actors.

Posted on Apr 30 2012 13:05 A really nice "feel good" film with comedy and sadness. Eulogy beatifully done. The film should have been called The Mumper - catch and curious.

Posted on Apr 28 2012 11:28 Are you all on crack? It's complette rubbish!
Badly written, badly shot, unfunny and unemotional nonsense and the lead Calum McNab is unquestionably the worst performance I've seen in a long time.
1 star and that's only because I didn't have to pay to see it.

Posted on Apr 26 2012 22:14 British: funny and warm. Will make you laugh and cry with relief at the familiarity of the genre if nothing else. Nice observations of 1982 Wapping - great acting. Definitely go and see it.
