One Day Removals

Well it was a pleasure to see a local Aberdeenshire film with local Doric speech, but the good acting and production was totally spoilt by the amount of swearing which took away a great deal of the enjoyment, and before the finish I would have preferred to watch without sound and still get tremendous enjoyment. I agree in reality swearing would have been part and parcel of the day but never in my experience to this degree, why did they spoil a good film like this Best wishes for their next one but please please one fit for family viewing, just watch real life to get the percentage right.

Well I know its maybe a bit much to give it 10 as nobody's perfect, but they don't do 9.9! I do think that "One day Removals" is excellent, coming from Aberdeen myself and being brought up in "tcheuchter" country (Inverurie). I fully appreciated the Doric and Aberdeenshire accents in the film. Great to see some fantastic shots of Aberdeen and lesser known areas surrounding Aberdeen. The plot is fantastic, a simple idea made brilliant by great comedy acting by all members of the cast especially Patrick and Scott. Two guys struggling by to make a living, end up in a bit of bother when their first job of the day goes a little wrong when an accident leaves them with a "package" to dispose of. With one thing going wrong after another you cant help but feel sorry for them but laugh at the same time! Thoroughly enjoyable by all adults who don't mind a "bittie O' sweerin" (or a lot of swearing which is acceptable as it makes the North East Doric sound that much more authentic. Another great film by Stirton Productions!

I only became aware of this film when I started reading reviews on the Aberdeen Footy Mad website (just a viewer with me being a southerner!) The dialogue is spoken in "Doric" - north eastern Scottish dialect, but this actually adds an extra dimension to this unique comedy. The two main characters are perfect - just normal everyday blokes trying to scratch a living - until THIS day - when the farcical catalogue of errors just gets worse and worse with every move they make, leading to the ultimate conclusion. It is most definitely one of those films... the more you watch it, the funnier it gets. The language content is very strong - it contains more bad language than Goodfellas!! - but it is in good humour rather than being offensive. The dialogue between the two main characters is perfect, especially the scene where they discuss "who off the telly would you like to hit"!! I bought the film on recommendation only... and now I would recommend it to anyone - good to see such a funny film once again coming from the ever-increasing independent gang

i have watched this about 4 times so far, with different groups of friends and even with my parents! there was just the one moment when i cringed with embarrassment- you'll have to guess which but it involved the w word...Everyone so far has loved it and i'm not exaggerating...even my 2 English friends got all the dialogue- no subtitles needed even if it is in that quaint Scottish dialect known as doric. the record for sweariest movie is well deserved but that only adds to the humour and some of the location shots , particularly at the start, are quite literally breathtaking. what else can i say without giving the game away? its 2 guys in a van having one hell of a day really!

I saw this movie at the Raindance festival in London and I, along with most of the audience, thought it was a very funny film indeed. The set up is basic. 2 Scottish removals men accidentally murder a van load of innocent folk.

So far, so good. The slapstick nature of the killings is quite fun in itself. But the real source of the comedy is the fantastic script and great performances from the 2 lead actors. Watching these guys 'going mental' at each other is very funny! Sure the ascents are amazingly broad - but that just seemed to help the film be even funnier! I loved this film! All out funny and all the better for it!
