Very Annie Mary is a film that focuses on the character of the same name that lives in a small welsh village. She is the archetypal "a bit slow" character with her father (an excellent turn from Johnathan Pryce) being the village big shot, a popular baker and the most celebrated tenor in Wales. Annie Mary's friend is dying and the whole village is taking part in charitable events to get her to Disneyland. If you like the sound of this already, then this film should appeal to you. There's a fine amount of comedy and tragedy as this character struggles to cope with the obstacles thrown her way and get what she wants. Personally, I found it lacking something that I'd got from other similar films and I found the main character just a little too far to handle. However the film got a couple of genuine laughs out of me and was worth watching for Jonathan Pryce's performance alone.
