I had stumbled in that movie 20-25 years ago sitting at home switching a channels. And it dragged me in. It was fun and easy. After reading reviews here i realized that not many people agree with me.
And most of critic aimed on wasting of great cast, while lead actor lacks of acting skills. As for me, it wasn't that annoying. I was surprised to see Chris Rea in a movie, but not disappointing. He did fine job representing a shy middle age man that faced bunch of harsh circumstances.
Rest of cast is doing alright making not their best, but decent roles.
Movie doesn't look like a timeless masterpiece that someone would expect from such famous actors. But it's pretty neat, adorable, comfy, bit dark comedy.
I liked it. Even my nickname on IMDb taken from it.
