Yet anothe depressing, British movie.


Walking through the Bowels of cities like Preston and Manchester to do a bit of essential shopping and we have to put up with these future scroats and dole dossers walking around with their hands down their pants f'ing and blinding around children all day. What a great idea to make another film about their hardships and lives!. Give me Hugh Grant and Richard Curtis any day!.

Clearly you have never experienced grinding poverty and consider poverty to be the fault of the poor. Are you a conservative who doesnt realise that the Tories actually created the culture in which Swifty and Arbor have to subsist?

I work in a warehouse and have to do doors at weekend to help pay my way so don't talk to me as though you know all about me from an opinion on a film. I'm not conservative nor ever have been and can assure you I've lived in my fare share of council flats and crap areas but that doesn't mean I yearn to watch a constant stream of dull and colourless stories full of skanks who spend the entire film frowning and screaming at each other. If you do, good luck to you!.

Ignorance is bliss. If you want to hide from the real issues in our country and watch the latest Curtis fluff then do as you wish but films like these are the important stories which film has the power to put on screen and ask people to consider deeply, attempting to open up debate about problems facing society. Films like these are essential.

You're an imbecile.

This is one of the best British films of the last decade. It's reality. Try taking a dose instead of buying another Lord of the Rings poster.
