Low Key Gem,
By
This review is from: Comfort and Joy [DVD] (DVD)
This wonderful gem is very understated and typical of Bill Forsyth's best work (see also Gregory's Girl, That Sinking Feeling and Local Hero however do take care to avoid Gregory's Two Girls like the plague a 0 star clunker).Dumped DJ Dickie Bird (the perennially excellent Bill Paterson) wants to be taken seriously and tries his hand at some investigative journalism. After seeing an attack on an ice cream van manned by Alex "Taggart" Norton and Clare Grogan being trashed he gets involved in an internecine ice cream war. A warm, amusing script coupled with an understated Mark Knopfler Score (bits of Love Over Gold for the record) and sympathetic direction/cinematography results in a great feel good film, a star is docked as feels a little dated.

Quirky Scotish comedy, worth every penny,
By Andy B (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comfort and Joy [DVD] (DVD)
Nice wide screen copy, this film is an absolute joy to watch. Great humor & who ever thought ice cream could be the reason for a family feud? Sit back enjoy great performances, wonderful humor & have a tub of ice cream at the same time.
