Rough Around the Edges

This film has something for everyone,Rough around the edges ??? Yes but thats what its all about !! Good script well put together and plenty of laughs,the use of young actors in normal everyday settings is good. I like the use of a Country and western singer to tell the story interesting especially when it doesn't match the subtitles. Credit must be given to Jim Dickinson, Jess Hinchliffe and the small crew who worked on a very low next to nothing budget. You have to be a morbid SOB to not enjoy this. Given the budget, a great piece of work. I liked it so much I got in touch with the Director to hopefully join the cast or crew of the next sequel Well done to all concerned and I look forward to the next one

This is it. Not Michael Jackson's, but this is the film you want to watch! Laugh out loud comedy, unconventional and full of gags. The acting is great and the characters are natural and extroverted. This colourful, gritty comedy keeps your eyes on the screen and your mouths wide open. It dares to be different and it pays off. A joy to watch, especially Danny Dodgson. There's something about that actor. I'd watch out for that one! Jim Dickinson is 'the man' when it comes to Rough Around the Edges. He did everything! Talk about making an effort!! Goes to show that you don't need all the money in the world to make an enjoyable film, clearly a lot of passion went into this.

Can't wait to see where this film goes, it should be on TV! If not, it's a big shame. More people should see this. This film has charm.

Love it.

You can tell this this isn't a big studio production, but you'd be hard pressed to spot that this is a first effort from someone with no film experience at all. This is a really professional effort and the film's got a sparkle all of its own. The acting performances are largely of a stunning quality but it's the writing that really makes this stand out. The dialogue is crisp, lively and tremendously funny, and each character's got a distinct and interesting personality. The film moves along at a real clip and will keep you engrossed as all the characters are so well realised that you'll care about each and every one of them, even, or perhaps especially, the idiots, of which there are many. If I had to pick holes I'd say the script and film could have done with a tighter edit just towards the end as it gets slightly flabby, but that's picking holes and the one man show (Jim Dickinson) will surely learn from his experience and produce an even better effort next time. Well worth a look, an indie debut that could well be the start of something very big.

rough around the edges, it does what it says on the tin, the tin been the vessel for the roll of film it contains, a fascicle and well directed independent film that is the dog's b**locks, independent film really is getting better and this film proves my point to a tee. witty sometimes in your face humour that alexi sayle would be proud of, brash and crude it as it all, this is the Britain we live in and to watch it unfurl before your eyes it is bloody side splitting funny, some great acting in there from all lead characters. independent take note of these guys they mean business i could watch this over and over, i have seen some films in my time but this is up there with some of the best written modern comedy satires and truly original, i want the writer to be my new best friend (genius) and put the film world to rights or writes,more please more man.

'Rough around the Edges' a truly brilliant take on Northern life in Britain that does exactly what it says on the tin. After watching this film at the Salford film festival I was truly surprised leaving the screening with a smile on my face giggling about various gags and cheap jokes that had the audience laughing out loud throughout.

Keeping in mind this film was made on a zero budget I think all the cast and crew involved have done a great job and should be very proud of this new British comedy. As a first film for Jim Dickinson I believe he has more than proved he can write and direct a good comedy and should be one to watch out for in the future.

I'm happy to read on IMDb that a Rough around the Edges trilogy is planned.
