Audience Member Extremely far-fetched light drama that relies very much on a dreamlike audience to accept the very dreamlike story. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice little british comedy. Excellent cast make the most of a very simple plot Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member British comedy set in the 80's against the backdrop of Thatcher's privatizations and social unrest. A group of seven friends very affected by the economical situation decide to risk their savings buying a racing horse that was in "special offer", the Mumper; the movie goes on telling us their adventures with the horse but also their personal and professional lives in a moment where Britain was extremely agitated. There are some funny and poignant moments but there isn't anything truly special here. It is easy to follow but it feels like the horse it is a mere excuse to show us their financial crisis, as there is really very little racing. Not a bad effort but it needs more sparkle. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice, easy going story set 'up north' in England. Bob Hoskins delights as usual, and the cast are great fun to watch. One for a rainy Sunday afternoon. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty average brit flick. The story hinges feebly together, the acting is very by the numbers and the end is all too predictable. Men - Horses - Race - win I cant recommend this Im afraid.
