The story line has been done a number of times before, but given that it is said that there are only 36 plot lines and 6 basic stories the writer and director can be forgiven.
So that issue addressed, we can look at the movie itself. The acting was decent. The camera work gave a feel for a working class but not particularly depressing environment and, for me, had an authentic feel to it. By the way, I am English.
The story itself was predictable and did not explore any particularly deep issues either at a personal or social level, but that is not why i wanted to watch a movie like this.
It was nice way to spend an hour and a half with much more comedy than drama. I have enough drama in my own life so i really do not need to pay to get more!
