“If your a drab and miserable hard hearted person this film is NOT for you. Also if you donu0026#39;t like the music of the proclaimers I wouldnu0026#39;t bother. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIm 24 years of age, and watched this on an extremely personal emotional day for me and as much as it added to my tears of sadness and heartbreak at parts , it added to my laughter and joy with real cheese and then elation of following dreams and going after what you believe in, its a real pick and mix film with ultimate highs to lows.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes it is quite cheesy but when you have u0026quot;lets get marriedu0026quot; by the proclaimers thrown in you expect nothing less. I think as a fan of the proclaimers they have managed to include the music by the lads in the film without turning it into simply a u0026quot;musicalu0026quot; they have balanced the music and story to a tee. music nor storyline taking over. very cleverly done. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI actually enjoyed all of the actors, and as much as I found it weird to hear other people sing the proclaimers songs I think they all done extremely well.. and how the screenwriters tied in different scenes to one song was fabulous. The only thing I did find slightly off putting was watching Jane horrocks having seen her in so many adverts dramas u0026amp; TV programmes with a broad English accent it was odd, BUT in saying that she done a sterling job. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs much as it isnu0026#39;t a blockbuster hit, its a genuine warmth hit to the heart and for that I will watch this film when ever I feel low to re inspire me. It may be not for you? It may be… but if your not sure at least take the chance.. I must admit I slightly underestimated it… so I was not left disappointed. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI rate it a 9 fab music, actors, singers and dancers and I commend the fact yes its cheesy and a roller coaster of emotions but the accents are genuine and NOT over done to the point your cringing while watching river city.”
