    A sweet film with some good performances. It succeeds because It doesn?t get too sentimental or preachy.

    A theme that?s very rarely portrayed as natural as this film was able to, it dealt with the issue in hand in a realistic manner; whilst keeping a realistic sense of humour too, the extremities of the emotions allowed the storyline to flip in a moment?s notice, which created good ...( read more)Drama.

    Brilliant performances from all envolved, James McAvoy?s character was truly infectious and really brought the rebel side out of the story and with regards to Steven Robinson, well I was just reminded of the great Daniel Day Lewis?s portrayal of Christie Brown in My Left Foot (co-incidence both films had Brenda Fricker in them??).

    I have personal links to the theme of this film, but have rated it according to the film and not my personal feelings. This is life in the real world, with tears and laughter thrown in for realistic measure.

    Two disabled English blokes meet while institutionalized. One is able to apply for independent living and they decide to share a flat together.

    i really enjoyed this film, it was not what I expected at all however it was a lovely film. it had the right sentiment with humour as well, showing that obviously there are many facets to the lives of all people - successes, disapointments etc.

    Drama about the friendship between 2 people that are stricken by some terrible illnesses, beeing trapped in wheel chairs.
    This is a great movie about hope, beeing funny and sad at the same time, with some of the most terrific acting I've seen lately.
    James McAvoy is great as Ror...( read more)y, but Steven Robertson is the one that steals the show, he is amazing as Michael Connolly. I have to see more movies with him.

    Wonderfully acted, particularly by the two main characters. Good direction, fine screenplay. It?s a good story and a moving one, and has some humor thrown in as well. The performances make the film. Well done.

    This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's very inspiring and makes you think about your life. Steven Robertson deserves an oscar award for this. McAvoy was good as well but his role wasn't as demanding. It's a must see and definitely a feel good movie.
