If it weren't for the drugs, guns, joy-riding and bad language, this movie could be a viewed and enjoyed by the whole family. As is I'd say, "your" family has to be pretty liberal. I'm not sure what market this... Full review
Bleak, even grotesque - but funny and perceptive

A great film, offering a slice of life in present-day Leeds that most of use would rather not know about. The plot is almost incidental. The film's success lies in the portraits of the two families, one native white, the... Full review

Weak, rushed and just one funny scene

Funny, moving and clever, this treatise of working class life as it really is i.e told by the people who actually live it, is such a breath of fresh air. The story comes together so well at the end and... Full review
