Product description

Bill Forsyth (`Gregory's Girl', `Local Hero') directed this comic thriller, which begins when Glasgow DJ Alan (Bill Paterson), already frustrated by the sickly-sweet constraints of his radio show, loses his girlfriend. His life acquires new meaning when he finds himself mediating between ice-cream gangsters Mr Bunny and Mr McCool. With C.P. Grogan, Patrick Malahide, and Eleanor David. Music by Mark Knopfler.

    I didn't appreciate this film when it came out. I didn't get it. But this transfer more than does it justice and the extras go a long way to explaining what I missed all those years ago when it first appeared. I like it a lot now, and I'm looking forward to watching it again. A little gem, given a good treatment.

    4.0 out of 5 stars It's Bill Forsyth doing The Glasgow Ice Cream Wars at Christmas - what could go wrong?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This is an adult fairy tale rereading of a dark chapter in Glasgow's history. Tonally, it's like a cross between a Richard Curtis syrupy rom com (although the guy doesn't get the girl) and an Edgar Wright take on The Godfather... It's silly and sentimental and not afraid of a happy ending. It has all the little observational elements that make Gregory's Girl so perfect, although the target (commerical radio) is not as universal and the central character (a DJ obsessed with his car) even less so. Watching it for the first time in 2021 it felt too old to be contemporary and yet not old enough to be a classic. It may well become a classic. I'd give it three and a half stars if I could.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This Comfort is a Joy!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 September 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I really love all of Bill Forsyth's films and finally have Comfort and Joy. The plots in these films move the story along, but to me are incidental to the character studies. He manages to bring out so much in each individual that you really get caught up in what is happening. I won't go into details of the ice cream wars plot because others have done so before me, but I do highly recommend this film as a don't miss.

    The cast on this film are perfect, especially Bill Paterson. I cant find any fault in the story and it reminds me and my wife of happier times when our son was just a babe in arms and I still had some hair on my head.

    I decided to choose Blue-Ray rather than DVD for the quality and I was not disappointed, the picture quality was superb!

    Thank you yet again Amazon!!!!

    Simply the most enjoyable of BP's films for me - and given his catalogue that does say a lot.

    The plot is dizzy and the characters almost larger than life - though cleverly underplayed. I found the references to Glasgow and indeed other BP pieces very amusing

    A must see if you like other BP work

    2.0 out of 5 stars Wasted night in
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I like Bill Forsyth films and many of the actors appearing in this one, so I wondered why I had not seen it before. Unfortunately, it has not aged well and was neither funny as a comedy or dramatic enough with the plotting and action. I can see lots of other people enjoyed it but unfortunately, I did not and found most of the characters rather unappealing, which does not normally happen with British films of this ilk and Bill Forsyth’s usually excellent work. Bit of a shame and a wasted night for in us watching c & j.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Low Key Gem
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2005
    Verified Purchase
    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.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Strange to think how it got made
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I knew of this film and had seen some amusing clips from it in the past but wasn't sure if I had actually seen it. As it turned out I hadn't. Looking at it now it's difficult to see how it would have drawn people into cinemas to watch it when it appears to be no more than a TV movie at best. On a technical level the film print does not really stimulate you to watch. The clarity is fuzzy and the lighting is uniformly drab. The 'star' is the best thing about it. Bill Paterson is always good value. Claire Grogan looks uncomfortable and the rest of the cast is a who's Who of Scottish talent when they were just starting out. The real issue is the story which is not convincing at all. Yes I know Bill Forsyth is a quirky talent but this needed some rocket boosters to give the story a bit of oomph. I'm glad I watched it.There is a certain sense of the time in the mid 80's that it does convey nicely but as I said earlier I would imagine anyone who paid to see it in the cinema would have felt a bit short changed.

    "Comfort and Joy" is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies, and this beautiful Region B Blu-Ray is the only way to see it in HD. I actually bought an all-region Blu-Ray player because of this movie, though I've acquired other Region B Blu-Rays since.

    Compré esta película porque era la que me faltaba de la colección de Mark Knopfler, me refiero a las que él interviene en la banda sonora.
    La calidad de imagen y sonido es buena, pero echo en falta al menos los subtítulos en español (la compré sabiendo que no los tenía).
    Sería genial si hubiese la versión doblada al castellano.

    彼女にいきなり捨てられた中年ＤＪの物語。ひょんなことから町の対当する２つのアイスクリームチェーンの抗争に巻き込まれ、愛車のＢＭＷはボロボロに。が、恐れおののいて頭を抱えるどころか、これを機に新しい人生を切り開こうと奮起一発中華食材のお店に・・・、というお話。
    Ｂ級だが画像も綺麗で雰囲気も良く、軽妙な台詞回しでストレスなく楽しめる。
    残念ながら日本語どころか英語の字幕もなく、かなり訛りがあるのが難点。
    高額なプレミアが付いているが、待っていると非常に安価な中古が出るので待って買おう。
