    It's alright, but there doesn't seem to be too much plot and the interesting parts are brushed over or just aren't relevant. Had potential.

    grumpy brits, scheme when there alotment has to lose a plot, for a phone mast, and typically its foreigners who are target, luckely its not all that this film is about, as we see a slice of british life, where not everyone is like the guy who wants them out, so intereting stories...( read more) going on and humour typically english,
