Entertaining enough but looks awful
21 August 2000
The storyline of a flash couple moving next to the neighbourhood busybody is hardly original or worthy of making it to the big screen.

While Ricky Tomlinson, Phil Daniels and co. do play their parts well, and there are several laughs to be had, the story doesn't go anywhere, is largely predictable and just seems like an average play re-staged on a miniscule budget for the big screen.

Set on the drab streets of England's Midlands, and almost entirely in a cul-de-sac and two suburban houses, it looks cheap and miserable, like it has been made with a home video camera.

Would have been better suited as a TV drama. 6 out of 10.
