4.0 out of 5 stars Low Key Gem, 21 Jan 2005

By	Crazy Bald Heid "kennyb63" (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy Days!, 18 Oct 2005

By	T. Evans "Fine Old Tom" (Belgium) - See all my reviews

The 1980's - what fun we had!
This excellent film is as funny now as it was then! It's worth a few pounds and an evening in for anybody!

4.0 out of 5 stars 'Like a good ice cream', 15 Feb 2005

By	Mr. O. N. Bath "O. Bath" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Lovely film, a real pleasure. Bill Paterson is the star of the show but Scottish stars like Rikki Fulton add to it. Some of the acting is a little dubious for example Clare Grogan is very wooden at times.
I would certainly recommend the film especially to homesick Glaswegians who will recognise many of the sights.
