Simple story, Man gets married to an Irish actress with a questionable American accent, takes her on a honeymoon to Portugal, all the while plotting to see the England qualifying games during Euro 2004.Hilarity ensues somewhere, but it must have passed me.Vinnie Jones is a special guest star as a man in a suit who shouts a lot.I don't care what people say about him, but I think Danny Dyer is a half decent actor. he's predictable in every role he's in, but for the life of me, I really don't know where this hard man image came from.Here though, it's a different story. On paper, it sounds great, trying to see some football matches behind your wife's back while on honeymoon.It's a brilliant concept, and in the right hands, could have been a wonderful farce, but here, it just plods along, from one unfunny scenario to the next, and the fantasy scenes with Jones, are just stupid.Dyer is okay, as is his co star, but the supporting cast are dreadful, and the guy who hatches the plan to sell him his own ticket, has to be one of the worse actors ever caught on film.it's a shame because there are a few promising moments, but it's just bland.

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

It's unusual to leave the movie theatre feeling cheerful and laughing and this is how you feel after seeing The Other Half. You sympathise with the hero throughout - you're on his side and want it all to work out for him. His passion for football is the driving force of the film. This is a first film for both Richard Nockles and Marlowe Fawcett and they needed more time and money to work on the script and the supporting roles, but the music, graphics and photography are terrific. Well worth seeing especially if you like feel-good romance and football (or any sport for that matter). And well worth backing the directors on their next project.

This is a great movie. So much fun! Danny's Dyers character is a bastard for getting tickets to football matches on his honeymoon, but he is so cute, you can't really hate him. There are two characters,Alan and John that are HILARIOUS. They are these bumbling idiot commentators that are following the couple around (unbeknownst to them) and keeping score. They play off each other so well, that you fall in love with them by the end of the movie. It was shot in Portugal and it looks fantastic. The colours are vibrant and it makes Potugal look wonderful.This movie is a definite must see! The guys will appreciate the football and the love for the game and the women will love the romance part of it and everyone will love how none of us can understand where the other is coming from when it comes to football. It's a shame it's not being released in the cinema. It deserves to be! I'll be the first out to buy it.
