I always run the cc's when watching films, but you'll probably need them here. Great characters who were well-casted abound. This was a fun and silly romp.

Robbie Emmerson barely escapes a prison sentence because of his pregnant girlfriend Leonie. He has a history of violence. He is thrown into community service with a group of misfits. He tries to visit Leonie at the hospital but her relatives beat him up. He swears to his baby son that he will change his ways. After a distillery tour, he finds interest in the art of whiskey. However his past with another thug Clancy won't leave him alone, and Leonie's father offers him $5k to leave Glasgow. Group leader Harry takes the group to Edinburgh for a whiskey meeting. Robbie's nose impresses whiskey collector Thaddeus Maloney and they are told about a priceless cask of whiskey coming soon to auction. Hound by Clancy's guys and in desperation, Robbie and the other misfits Mo, Albert, and Rhino go on a quest to steal the valuable whiskey.Directed by legendary English socialist Ken Loach, this is a nice little film about a small group of miscreants. I like Robbie and the scene with his victims. The lighter moments work most of the times. Albert is the big fool. However I found him a little too whinny. He's funny sometimes but other times I found him annoying. This has some funny moments and some heart breaking moments.

Set in contemporary Glasgow, THE ANGELS' SHARE does not shy away from portraying the squalid reality of many young peoples' lives. Robbie (Paul Brannigan) has to complete long hours of community service, together with his friends Rhino (William Ruane), Albert (Gary Maitland) and Mo (Jasmin Riggins), while having to cope with the perpetual threat of attack from long-time adversary Clancy (Scott Kyle). However Robbie's 'minder' Harry (John Henshaw), who supervises him on his community service, introduces Robbie to the intricacies of scotch whisky, and Robbie's life is transformed as a result. In an attempt to improve his life, he becomes involved in an elaborate plot to steal an exceptionally rare brand of Scotch from a Highland distillery. While Paul Laverty's screenplay does not shy away from the seamier sides of Glasgow life, it nonetheless suggests that people can be redeemed, so long as they are provided with moral as well as emotional support. Harry seems an unlikely figure in this respect, but his basic honesty stands out in a film full of shady characters. The four youngsters (Robbie and his friends) are totally convincing in their roles - so much so that we share their pleasure when their scheme eventually succeeds and they can look forward to a better life, however transient that might be.

This movie is very funny, we spend good time watching it. Characters are appealing and touching and we have lots of sympathy with them. We realize how it's important to believe in our dreams even we have many problems. I think this movie gives hope to everyone who feels desperate. I advise you all to watch it.This movie is very funny, we spend good time watching it. Characters are appealing and touching and we have lots of sympathy with them.
