just saw this film a couple of hour ago and think i would write a review while it be still fresh in my mind . in summary i really enjoy this film and wasn not a classic but be a good evening out . ( positive ) plot not very original . a other people have comment and this film have a porridge feel about it . certainly not a funny though . act on the whole pretty good . have see him in a few thing now and i would not call james nesbitt a charactor actor . however his cheeky charm be right for this role and olivia williams be average but passable and nice to see her in an british flick after her role in rushmore and the 6th sense . for me timothy spall out class the rest and my first thought be that i would have like to have see more of him but on reflection i actually prefer him a a side kick . tone i would not class this film a a straight comedy and it certainly have it tragic moment . i think this film will suffer from be compare to the full monty . positive .
