I was not sure where the movie wanted to go and what it wanted to do -- this despite the fact that it goes many places and does too much. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

Matthew M @swansea1985 1d Excellent film of the real life in Swansea at that time for youngsters who grew up on working class areas there needs to be a twin town 2 because it is always talked about when film is brought up ***EXCELLENT FILM A MUST WATCH *** See more Paul D Nov 2 You probably need to understand working class life in south wales to fully understand the humour and the scale of the stories. It’s dark, unbelievable and downright crazy at times, but if you have spent any time around the valleys, that is their way of life. This film is an educational roller coaster of emotions and if you’re open minded, this film really will hit home. It’s brilliant, underrated, well acted and hard hitting. Prepare some tissues for the end. Quite sad. Watch it. It’s tidy! See more Helen E 12/10/2024 An absolutely superb film set around Swansea in the 90,s a classic !! See more Jeremy H 09/16/2023 Quite simply, the best film I have ever watched. Superb See more Jordan S 02/10/2023 Hilarious film you need a sense of humour to watch something like this. See more 11/19/2020 A classic... love it. Funny, sick and twisted and always entertaining! See more Read all reviews
