The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A second 'goof' was that Shay bought the English version of the Clash first album (green cover) and replayed 'White man in Hammersmith...' repeatedly in his bedroom. This single only appeared on the US release of the album, in the blue cover. Still. It achingly needed to be called London Calling, but I guess the Clash wouldn't allow that. I'd love to know what happened there.The film itself is so full of extreme stereotypes I wondered who it was aimed at. I mean the Clash were very 'marmite' as a band. Clash fans are all 50plus now, and without being a fan and having a bit of knowledge about the band and the Clash's outlook (on life and Rock'n' roll) it would be too fantastical to add up. As a Clash fan, frankly it was barely OK.

This film tells the story of a teenage boy who faces a series of misfortunes, and ends up having to make a living while taking care of his young sister. He perseveres through the hardship, and meets the famous rock star from The Clash, and his life is changed for the better.People say this film is about music, but I view this film as a film that chronicles how hard life is for people who are not well off. When misfortune strikes, prior don't even lens a hand of support. The boy faces adversity with striking resilience, which I think is a good example to people. I enjoyed watching the film because of this resilient character.

Every once in a while a little film, with a tiny budget and a whole lot of heart, comes along and knocks you off your feet. London Town fulfills all the aspects of that category. I won't bother to give you a blow by blow description of the story, that's easily found elsewhere. I will tell you I was more than thoroughly entertained and, since it was a 48 hour rental via my VOD system, I took the opportunity to watch it three times because it was just that good! The film is endearing, funny and the performances are stellar, especially the youngsters. Huttlestone is already on his way as a multi-talent, but Nell Williams was a new revelation for me and she shines here. If for no other reason, you need to see this film for the incredibly brilliant work of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Joe Strummer. He is simply mesmerizing and delivers a musical performance equal to that of any contemporary or historical rock star. (As a veteran of 7 Stones and 14 WHO concerts, I feel justified in that statement.) Derrick Borte managed to assemble a superb group of musicians to portray the rest of the band and the results are magical. London Town is a special film, with something for everyone to love. Don't miss it!
