Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
xanna-439-529210 Brilliant and super charming! Some comedy and musical together...
sydneybell First off, I'm not a fan of musicals so my lack of love for this movie can and should be taken with a grain of salt. However, I am a big fan of The Proclaimers and having visited Edinburgh twice in the last couple of years, thought I would enjoy the scenery (which I did).Here's the thing. In my experience of The Proclaimers, they (like the good Celts they are) sing about three things: Love&Sex / God / Politics, This movie only shines the light on one, which is why I think I found a movie inspired and infused with their music, disappointing.Case in point, the song Cap in Hand does not find it's way into this movie - that's all you really need to know.Some heartwarming scenes - and Edinburgh is stunning and beautifully shot, but that's about it.
angus-lamont Just before I give my opinion on this film, I will say I am born in Scotland, and I am so happy a decent big budget type film has been made up here. This film is just simply fantastic, great songs (well of course, its The Proclaimers), very catchy and an overall great story. Fun to spot famous locations too, some parts filmed in Glasgow too, like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and some of the pubs. It will definitely get the tourists into Scotland thats for sure! The acting is great and the singing is excellent. Also there is a nice little cameo from the famous duo which was greatJust watch it and you will not be disappointed!
gacogan I should hate this. I thought I would. Take a band whose music is real. A band who don't do poxy love songs. Who do great Scottish songs of independence. A band I admit to loving. Now you try to shoehorn their songs into a musical. It is going to suck. Isn't it?Actually no. No need to critique whats wrong with this movie. Everything is. It sucks. Its terrible.I loved every minute. Its not Momma Mia (thank God) Its not Easy Rider. But it is a really enjoyable movie. Loads of fun. Bright, lively and well worth a watch. This is the perfect date movie. If you, like me, don't like chick flicks. If its too early to watch "The unbearable lightness of being". Then this is a great option. It's just good fun.
