Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Uplifting and heartwarming story well scripted and a wonderful way to bring the real star of the show, Tooting Bec Common, to the big screen with it's variety of people, characters, social situations, wildlife, trees and general ecology. I have some history on this common having used it as a playground and discovery centre for my children as they grew up and the blend of stories is truly representative of the pattern of life it carries every day. I loved trying to figure out the scene locations, but that's an indulgence for locals. The social documentary also stands out in it's own right. Well done and to the cast and crew for bringing such an adventurous and brave production to fruition.
I saw this film at the Clapham Picturehouse and am so glad I did.It's a very real, warm, funny, moving and at times bonkers movie. All in all the kind of film that British indies do best.I'm based in London so I did feel a sense of pride in seeing London and Londoners represented this way in a film, but I think the characters and their stories would translate to anyone from anywhere right now. These are ordinary people facing extraordinary moments in their lives and it was great to follow them all on their journey. The characters are also so diverse in their ages and backgrounds that I think this film holds something for everyone to relate to, oh and I should also say that the ensemble of actors in this film do a fantastic job. The performances really are top notch, even from the parrot (!) and dogs (bonkers!) I won't say any more, you need to see it for yourself!To the visuals- The Common it's filmed on looks gorgeous, it's really nicely shot and you feel like you are really 'in there' with the characters, a privileged voyeur, much like the parrot.Yes, this film does have it's faults, but all in all I'd totally recommend it if you're in the mood for an uplifting film with real heart.
I saw this film recently and was instantly drawn in to each of the stories. The characters are real and compelling. I lived near a London common for many years and the film brought back so many memories of exploring the common, and reminded me what an amazing place it is! Discovering the history of the film, through TV and radio interviews, I was impressed by the passion of these independent filmmakers and heartened by the response and support of the public. I hope this film will receive a wider audience than London because everyone deserves to share this charming story. Go and see it for an uplifting experience and to show your support for independent British filmmaking!
Saw the London première at Clapham this afternoon. Excellent script, great performances across the board and engaging from beginning to end. There isn't a duff moment or naff line to be heard. Brilliant score and Tooting Common has never looked so beautiful and diverse. It's a great condemnation of film business that movies like this have to fight so hard to get a look in. Hoping it goes onto bigger and better things. I'm biased, living just round the corner from Tooting Common but it's could be any Common, anywhere in the world - well south west London at any rate. And you will get through the tissues as well-I did-take your man- size. The characters are quirky, eccentric but always the right side of believable and nowhere patronised or looked down at.
