Fergus (David Morrissey) is searching for the high-school sweetheart he jilted years ago (Jane Horrocks). Eddie the pick-pocket (Jimi Mistry) is falling in love with Jocelyn the grave tender (Catherine McCormack). And Frankie (Craig Ferguson) is bound and determined to find the love of his life.

The first contemporary romantic comedy I've seen in years that feels as if it's made by a real human being for other real human beings.

This is a somewhat cliched British romantic comedy, with some reasonably well known names, such as Jane Horrocks and Adrian Lester who stars in BBC dramas (this is a BBC Film). I admit I didn't recognise Jane Horrocks at first - her hair is dyed brown and I suppose im used to her having blonde hair. In any case, suffice to say the film features some nice characters and some creeps. I liked how some people got their comeuppance. Its a nice easy watch, although I wouldn't say its particularly memorable, so I suppose I wouldn't go so far as to recommed it as such but its ok.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

A lot of romantic ideas with a fair amount of dancing,poor direction, and horrible casting, as well as a pathetic script and a cure for insomnia.

Not interesting to human beings. I want to understand how Craig ferguson gets cast in movies. And now ferguson is a lame ass chat show talking face. Shut yer piehole Craig ferguson. Also back to the movie. I fell asleep. Some years later it's on my South Carolina digital tv. And it still eats the rhino dong. Avoid it like the plague. And Craig ferguson should retire & diminish. Save your time & money.
