Carryl S Some sweet, warm moments let down by shallow stereotypes and juvenile writing. Omar is adorable, Amy is sweet, Ray needs a new haircut but is generous with the tea cakes. Pete is fun and Gran is the best part. The guys' argument is awful, they'd never say such basic insults. Irfan might have reasons for being ridiculous but his bumbling isn't charming and his childishness is not explored well. Parveen is a caricature, and she and Ken's quirks are played for basic laughs. They both could be autistic, not that one or two traits make it, but it's grim to see such bad treatment of difference while Pete's so rounded. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Luca J Contender for the worst film I've ever seen. As a mixed heritage person who lives in Yorkshire, I really wanted it to be good, but it just didn't work. The character interactions felt unnatural, the jokes bared no connection to the story, there were too many OTT characters packed in (one who actually played an important role in the story), there were quite a few continuity issues and it seems like they had too much footage and cobbled together something that 'sort of' worked in the editing phase. 1 star as I laughed once and smiled a couple of times. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining and funny at times but missed the mark at other times. I wanted it to be better, there aren't enough northern films and there aren't enough british Indian/pakistani films. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic British Humour, made me laugh all the way through - I remembered his standup act taking the piss out of himself as a disabled person on BTG. The chemistry between the two actors playing as brothers was fantastic, both played off each other. Thank You for a fantastic film !!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The My Beautiful Launderette of its time, but with brothers than lovers. Very British, and doesn't dilute that. Actors who play the brothers are suited to the role. I can imagine Antonio Aakeel will be an actor to watch out for in the future, and Jack Carroll is really disabled who got to the finals of Britain's Got Talent at age 14. As an adopted person who searched for my parents, I know it's not all like the TV shows where everybody is great. They know they're still brothers as grew up together, despite later facing ignorance because of having different fathers and the other being disabled. Apart from being entertaining with a brilliant supporting cast, I can also imagine it might help children or teenagers going through similar personal problems. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Really proscribed humour. Lines read out no character depth. Really struggled to watch this until the end. Utterly predictable as the film attempts to defeat stereo types with a numerous approach. Sadly it isn't funny you can see the gags coming and there is no character depth.
