Following his ruin in the latest banking crisis, a self-made millionaire reluctantly re-unites with his estranged freewheeling brother to re-open the abandoned fish and chip shop they shared in their youth.
Predictable plotting, stilted performances and heart-tugging emotional manipulation all contribute to the feeling that this low-budget British effort might have been more effective as a television series.
An undemanding comedy drama, but Stephen Dillane and Georges Corraface give crowd-pleasing performances.
It’s a bit laboured and not funny enough but has charm and heart.
Far from being a Greek tragedy, though not film that will stay with you for too long.
Nothing much surprises in the story's redemptive journey to Feelgoodsville, but you hang in there for Dillane's lovely, quiet touches of dryness and wit.
A first feature that makes an impression by not pushing too hard to make an impression.
