Summary: A Sleeper
Review: Thousands of low budget movies are released on DVD/Video every year. Most, without fanfare. This film won several awards, at a number of Film Festivals, throughout North America last year. Those audiences loved this British import. They laughed and then laughed some more. But I guess the lack of violence, sex, drugs and gore can kill a film's chance for financial success. So money is not spent to promote the film and it has gone directly to DVD/Video. What a shame. It also has a plot!!! It tells a story and has a purpose. This was written and directed by Craig Ferguson...his first venture on that side of the camera. You know Craig, he has appeared on the Drew Carry Show in the US but he is known mostly in the UK. He had a new acting talent in mind, when he wrote the role of Olivia...Charlotte Church. This movie is NOT about Charlotte Church but it is her acting debut in the movie business. Up until now, she has been better known as a singing phenomenon..."Voice of An Angel". Those of us familiar with her vivacious personality, can better appreciate the fact, that she plays a totally different person in her role as Olivia. We also get a chance to hear her sing...worth the price of the DVD alone. The other cast of characters are also experienced actors, one of which you will recognize...from a coffee commercial on US TV several years ago. This is the type of film that leaves you smiling at the end. You are sorry it is over. You will find yourself pulling it off your bookshelf over the years and watching it again. This is not a Disney type film. The language is raw at times and we also get to see more of Craig Ferguson than we might want...and I do not mean his screen time is too long. No one will win an Oscar or a Brit or any other fancy award. There are flaws and Craig's first attempt at writing and directing, demonstrates a need for polish. So, just enjoy this movie for what it is...a movie that makes you feel good....nothing wrong with that folks.

Summary: I wish I wasn¿t there.
Review: To the point then! Been done been done been done, Very predictable from start to finish, Boorish, D grade in writing. Charlotte of course had a great voice at the time. But as of late we all know the voice is sinking slowly in the sunset.
