Best movie of this year hands down!

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

I love Irvine Welsh. Love him. I've read everything. This movie is strange. without digressing to dividing the piece up into three bits I can say that overall it is worth a view. The first and last bit are the strongest in terms of acting, direction, and plot. Of course the writing is better than is able to be pulled off in the movie, but nonetheless some good movie watching. I could have done without the bloody subtitles, and if the film had an ever so slightly higher budget they could make the DVD menu contain a section where you could turn off this crap. Rent this film if you love Irvine Welsh. I leaves me hoping for a movie based on "Glue."

I think you need to have read and loved (loved is probably too strong a word) some of Walsh's stuff before appreciating any of the content of this film, and i don't mean just watching trainspotting, thats not enough understanding of how this guy works and thinks.A series of short stories with little real point or moral (by modern standards), however they do touch upon some interesting subjects, for example the drunken and swearing depiction of God, challenges the concept of God's identity, but because he is drunk and foul mouthed it is wholly unacceptable to some people, however, if you were the lead character you'd relate to a God like that better than you would to some dude dressed in brilliant white surrounded by angels playing harps!!I enjoyed it for what it was, took it at face value and thought it was a blast. It not life as most people know it so therefore we might find it hard to relate to, but it it a creative imagination at work.I think that in some way you have missed out on something very special in independent film making if you don't at least try and watch it!

I don't give a rat's a$$ whether the social commentary is accurate or not or what this film's "artistic sensibilities" are supposed to be. This movie is a riot. It's romp through the ugliest, most politically incorrect depths of everyone's subconscious. This film needs to be watched during a particularly bad hangover, wearing only underpants with holes in them, while eating cold pizza from the night before and sucking on your first hair-of-the-dog beer. The second segment is the best one, and also the most realistic one. A pathetic, hopeless man living a grim, hopeless life has his become accustomed to his misery, until a neighbor from hell makes his existence even more intolerable than before. This segment is definitely an allegory of every working class life.

Acid House written by Irvine Welsh(the best modern writer)is a brilliant "short stories" novel.The movie however is pretty disappointing.I expected it to be somewhat like Trainspotting,the classic Welsh adaptation and one of the best movies ever made.The stories are not as good as they were written down.The acting makes it up a little and the Scottish dialogues are great. 5/10
