    This is a very funny film and is light hearted with a happy ending of the local life of Welsh villagers. Well acted and a meaningful storyline, a little slow, but hey its a drama.

    Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under) plays her most brilliant role in Very Annie Mary (2001).

    Annie Mary Pugh is a woman of 33 who still lives at home with her domineering father, played by Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Carribean). Her father owns the baker...( read more)y in Ogw, Wales, and is considered the "Voice of the Valley" because of his beautiful tenor singing.

    As the movie progresses, we are shown Annie's shattered dreams. She presents almost as one with a developmental disability - socially awkward, clumsy, often embarassingly inappropriate - but perhaps these are mannerisms that have developed over the years of living her life knowing that the Great Opportunity passed by?

    I don't want to say too much. It's better to go into this film not knowing. There are so many little surprises and big revelations. Just know that I found this movie both funny and touching. It's a story of a woman finally finding her voice.

    the worst thing on earth

    An absolute gem.
    Awkward title might put you off but this extremely funny film deserves the widest audience possible.
    Quirky, fun-filled Amelie-like entertanment like this is rarely so little known. Grab you slice of Welsh brilliance as soon as you can.
