Awesome Movie

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I watched this film and quite enjoyed it.I liked that Jimmy Grimble played soccer. I also enjoyed that he played soccer well. Jimmy Grimble played soccer well.I also enjoyed that he had multiple father figures. Sometimes, these father figures would vie for primacy in the same shot. For my money, Harry is the primary father figure, because he is in with Jimmy's mum, but the sad coach bloke isn't.I wish I had multiple father figures.In relation to the weird chick, I thought that she was kind of awesome. Like, I would love to go to school in Manchester some time, play soccer well, have a deadbeat coach, vie for my mother's attention with a different deadbeat (though not a coach) and then tour cemeteries with a weird chick.If I had to put her in a position, I'd suggest right wing.

When I watched the film for the first ever time I was quite frankly scared. This was because of the fact I knew exactly what was going to happen. Its not that the film gives too much away, it's more the fact that the film is so poorly scripted and is so obvious. Even with such a bad storyline I am sure that it could have been a better film.Overall the acting was not too bad but the rest of the film was awful. The reason I say this is that some of the aspects of the film were totally unrealistic, and to say that the film is about football it appears that no one on the production team had ever seen it before.Some good points to take from the film are the performances of Robert Carlyle and Ben Miller.My advice, don't watch the film, ever.

What an inspiring movie for both kids and adults alike, you'd think that this sort of movies have been made over and over again. You're wrong, "Jimmy Grimble" is beyond the sugar coated disney type of yarns.It's grim, sad, fun and full of joy all at once, but not superficial.I think this film is a real boost for all of us to stop doubting ourselves and go do what ever we enjoy and be the best we can.Extra points for the scriptwriters for including Man City as an integral part of the movie, the Blues are as genuine as the movie.

A bit unfair to criticize this film too much, it's set up like a British made for television feature (low budget, authentic grotty settings, ludicrous phony snow on the streets) and is clearly intended for a young audience. This must be the only Britflick I've seen lately that doesn't use the "f" or "c" words. In the end I felt good about it, despite the predictable progress of the plot and the heavyhanded "moral of the story" moments. The viewer will enjoy this more if he/she is up on British footballing culture, and the accents are much thicker than on Coronation Street, so you have been warned. Good cast, though every part except Jimmy Grimble himself is underwritten. McKee is gorgeous (but who buys her as a slutty single Mum?) and Carlyle takes a minimalist approach to a role that's already fairly thin on paper. Winstone is a wonderful presence without much to do, and the football scenes are more believable than in most pictures (except for the final moments, in which Jimmy is either 100 yards offside or the entire opposition took an actor's union tea break).
