Reception
The film became notorious because it took less than £100 at the box office.[1][2] It had a £70,000 budget and did very well on the festival circuit, selling out at every attendance; Gothenburg 2002, Raindance 2001, Emden 2002 and as the opening Gala Film at the Berlin Britspotting Festival, 2002. It was subsequently picked up by Ardent International sales agents on the strength of press reviews and actors performances, just at the time when Ardent CEO Prince Edward exited the industry, which proved to be terrible timing for the film release in the UK.
Critics
The film polarized critics; panned by some including the BBC, who called it a "truly awful pile of garbage",[3] and Total Film, who called it "irredeemable",[4] but Film Review called it "A rather heartwarming story of the need to remember to live your life".[5]
