I watched this film at the cinema and there was one other person present besides my friend, and the film showed for just one week everywhere, so obviously it didn't take much money, and rightly so, it's not a good film. When you have the film's director on a TV advert pleading with you to the camera to go and see his film, you know you're in trouble. Chris Rea has not got a future in acting. He is so dull and bland and has the same facial expression all the time, whatever the circumstances, and the rest of the cast are perfunctory. It is like an old 70s English comedy, but not funny, and it's a shame Oliver Reed had to go out in a film like this.
