I saw this hilarious film about 15 years ago and have been waiting to get hold of a copy ever since.As a result I can't remember a huge amount about it that hasn't already been mentioned, but the reason for posting is below.The good news is that as of April 18th 2005, it is now available on DVD.It is available from the usual retailers.. e.g. amazon, play.com etc.ASIN for the Region 2 version is B0007SMDCIIt is released by Optimum Home EntertainmentEnjoy... I'm getting my order in right away in case it gets deleted again

Please post if you find this film on sale...or if you can find the rights to it. I'm desperate to sign it up and resell it on DVD.This is one of my favourite films of all time. I have looked high and low for a copy. I now find myself in the position of head of acquisitions at a film distributor...and I'm really looking for the film owner. If you are the owner or know who it is please let me know. I'd love to get this out on sale again as I love it, but also I think it's an undiscovred treat for the rest of the world that never saw it.CheersNeil

Admittedly, I did see this ages ago, so the intervening years may have been kind; but I couldn't find much to recommend it then, and I suspect my opinion would be much the same now. Fairly witless premise (based on a true story?) handled in a pedestrian manner. For a 'comedy', I can't recall laughing too many times (except in a 'how much more stupid can it get?' way) Needless to say, that's bad.

This is the kind of film that always cracks a smile on your dial. It's cute without being irritating, it's stupid without being offensive - it's all you want in an old fashioned comedy. And the accents are like honey lozengers; infact this is the very film you should watch if you are ill, or recovering from a hangover wrapped in a blanket infront of the TV. And the soundtrack by Big Country is an absolute hoot! What a film!!
