    I can't tell if this is drama or comedy...maybe it's both...

    Surprisingly good British film

    This film is similar to Dad's Army. Really good acting in this.

    I seem to be on a 'based on true events' roll here. I must have come across this on as a preview on some other rental disc. Can't imagine where else I'd have found it.

    Regardless, you've got 2 quite likable characters...and what characters they are...who bumble their way t...( read more)o successfully completing their self-assigned mission. You've got to wonder about fate...or just blind luck. They're fortunate they didn't kill themselves or each other.

    I found the movie to be quite humorous...and just all around entertaining. Some beautiful scenery surely didn't hurt either. No major budget, no high profile sex symbol stars, no extreme violence or nudity. Just your general well told tale.

    I have a dentist's appointment in a few weeks. I'll be looking at him in a completely different way now.
