I have been collecting all of the works available on Michael Sheen since discovering him. He is a very versatile and gifted actor and this movie did not dissapoint.

If you can stand thick brogues, then you may get through this glacially paced tear-jerker. I couldn't.

I purchased this film because of Kate Rusby's music, but found the film itself a very happy discovery.

this movie had plenty of opportunity for some witty/chuckle-worthy lines or slap-stick bits...but it just sort of deflated in the comedy department. yes there were funny tidbits but they were fleeting and far too sparse. not to mention i found myself questioning why he would ever go after the bloody skank. i mean, collin was pathetic, but still charming and you couldn't help but want to reach over and give him a hug. despite its faults it does leave the viewer with a warm fuzzy feeling (that may make you feel uncomfortable if you only watched it cuz you've been reading all the full monty comparisons and were expecting a bit more *ahem* vulgar humor). this movie is for types who can appreciate the art of the camera angles and visions of the lush country side. the simpleness may seem a bit childish at first but it really leaves you with a happy-go-lucky grin and possibly a fetish with windmills. i was slightly disappointed, heartwarmed and enveloped by the romanticism of it at the same time. truly charming.
i'm also a big fan of michael sheen.

Set somewhere in northern England, this working-class road movie shares some of the same territory as "Full Monty," but it's in a class all by itself. Though it concerns the song-of-experience theme of betrayal and infidelity, it's a PG-13 song of innocence about a woolly-haired young man whose hero is a national darts champion. His journey to a getting-of-wisdom takes him on a moped along narrow two-lane roads and across rolling countryside, where the people he encounters open a world to him he never knew existed.
Almost lost among the oafish, inconsiderate and embittered people, young and old, who surround him, he finds good reason to be touched by those capable of appreciating him. Instead of spoiling his innocence, his experience of this world only seems to deepen it. Michael Sheen as Colin is wonderful, his smile beatific, and his face registering a remarkable range of emotions. If it's possible to put a lump in your throat, this feel-good movie will do it.
