This brilliant film is typical of the low budget type involving no special effect or set and needing no well known actors. It is in the same style as 4 weddings and a funeral, letter to Brezhnev, the full Monty, groundhog day, etc. very well written, funny and uplifting. A group of friends are in dead end jobs or relationships or suffer chronic lack of self confidence and are shown how to act the part even if they can't be the part until their life really changes. Can't understand the low rating some people gave it. This is way above the general popular run of the mill, blockbuster for sheer enjoyment and actually tells you something useful too. Added to that it is spoken in broad Geordie, my favourite accent in the world. Feminists might hate it for the mixed messages on sexuality, partly about female empowerment, partly about looking good for your man. I think it comes down decidedly on the former side.
