GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

neil268 with Danny Dyer and Vinnie jones in this movie i assumed it would be decent. how wrong i was! this could be THE WORST movie I've ever seen in my life. the storyline is awful, the acting is terrible and just the whole movie sucked!to see that this is rated 5/10 has just baffles me, as a football fan myself i thought this would be a good movie to watch, it just didn't draw me in at all. to be fair danny dyers 'wife' in the film is very good looking, probably the only good part of the film. the budget must have been extremely low, i can see what the idea of the film is but the execution is just all wrong.

dvdmanu I have had this DVD in my collection for a while now and was really looking forward to watching it. How could it miss, you've got Danny Dyer (who i think is a very underrated actor), The England football team playing in Euro 2004, and a half descent story line involving Danny Dyer's character trying to see the first 3 England group games (on their honeymoon) without his other half finding out he already had the tickets before they left.I am thinking this could be ,Is harry on the boat meets Football Factory a cocky lad's film a real Brit classic. How wrong i was. I was gutted a real let down. Watching it i felt it tried to be to many things it should have just been a comedy and used Danny Dyer in that lad role he does so well. Also without giving too much away what the hell are those 2 guys doing commentating on whats going on in the film that was really annoying.So do yourself a favour if your Danny Dyer fan watch The Business, Outlaw or Football Factory. If you want a chick flick leave the other half to it and go to the pub.

lionel25 I ve seen this movie yesterday on DVD. I Did not expected too much of it but it did much better than just a lose-some-time entertainment. It was cheerful, funny, well played, and most of all very romantic. Of course if you expect a deep sociological movie do not see it, but if you want to kill a rainy Sunday afternoon, you will enjoy yourself very much especially if you are in a couple who is not able to understand the other's passion and even better if the other's passion is football. The only dark thing about this movie is that it has (especially in the beginning) some very creepy and rather amateurish shots, a bit like these bad erotic movies. However it gets very soon better or you don not care so much anymore because you focus on the story and on the performance of these very good actors. 8/10

Chupong Really great movie, saw it at a festival in Portugal, won the People's choice award! Danny Dyer puts in his usual performance in a movie set around Euro 2004!! Vinnie Jones is also in it as his alter ego, Danny's character is fibbing to his new wife so he can watch all the England games. It is pretty funny as they are supposed to be on honeymoon, of course she has no idea there is a football tournament on! Football movies do not always work but The Other Half keeps you guessing right to the end. Football Factory star Danny Dyer gets it spot on as he lies and cheats behind the back of new wife Gillian Kearney is from Shameless!I Think it is getting a UK DVD release just before the World Cup??
