Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Shockingly bad. Boring and unfunny with a screenplay fit for a poor school production ( and that's insulting school plays).. My friend walked out halfway through and I should have gone with him. One of the worst bits of screen writing I've ever come across

Hard to believe with all the household names here,they could make such a duff film.I never laughed once but was annoyed a lot at how purile and immature the characters were.This would have been bad in the 80's.In 2018 its a dam right insult.At near 2 hours long the pace drags as you wait for some comedy or special moment that never happens.

This is one of those community spirited films in the manner of The Full Monty, and the Ealing comedies, that British film makers often do (but don't always do particularly well). A fairly formulaic plot of 'let's get the old gang back together for the one last tilt at the establishment' is brought to life by some good acting and some very likable, and in some cases eccentric characters. It's not full of belly laughs, but you can't help but have a smile on your face much of the time. Stephen Graham, Julian Sands, Steve Furst and Jill Halfpenny all turn in great performances (Jill Halfpenny in particular), and there's some lovely Yorkshire scenery to enjoy.

This film will not appeal to the interests of the general public unless British 80's wrestling is your passion. This films plot is very strange. It starts off with lots off old people beating up a chav and then they go viral on YouTube. These old people are x-wrestlers from the 80s none of the characters are really believable except from the dad of the main character who is not an x-wrestler. They all feel like bad cartoon characters. The manger character and the villain wrestler are the worst for this although unlike the manager character who is just annoying the villain character is actually one of the few that made me laugh at his jokes/action in a way that wasn't because of how bad and cringe it was.There is a redeeming feature to this film from the side characters the two trainee security guards are the funniest characters in the film even with the little screen time they got and made me bump my rating from a 3 to a 4 single handedlyIn the end of the film the annoying chav from earlier becomes good for no reason and the boring main character gets scouted to live out his dream as a precessional wrestler, these are both very unrealistic and come out of nowhere Overall there are definitely better films to see and you won't miss anything from this film by not seeing it although it is not 100% rubbish
