Great British Comedy
Great family fun movie where diversity is portrayed in a positive light unlike the images we often see in the media.The relationship between the brothers and their grandma is heart warming and reminds us what a difference this can make in times of adversity.This film made me laugh out loud at the same time as making me feel emotional at times and kept me interested in the storyline throughout.
BBC Three special
A movie you'd expect to be shown on BBC Three. I ventured out of town to see this as it wasn't showing at my local cinema. Good turn out at the screening. I found it funny as did the audience. We all had a good laugh. Recommended
Great laugh, good story.
Despite the low budget, the team behind this made a good quality and fun film. I've seen a few lower budget movies in my time and most seem to have that rough edge finish to them but this is nicely polished. The only thing I can fault it with is slightly stale acting but looking past that, it's a good little movie.
Very very funny
I wasn't sure about this film to begin with but it was really good. The story is very good but it's the laughs that really make it great. The cameos are perfect, Johnny Vegas perfect. We all laughed out loud at points. Don't read the bad reviews just watch it yourself :)

Comedy drama.
Starts very strong with a heart-warming plot and frequent LOL humour.
Two half-brothers Omar and Pete are on a journey to find Omar's estranged father after their granny (who looked after them) passes away.
Pete is played by Jack Carroll, who UK viewers might recognise, but might not know why? He was a very young comedian and runner up in a recent Britain's got Talent contest. I think he was well cast and showed he can be a first rate actor as well.
Also stars Johnny Vegas, another well-known UK comedian, who wasn't used enough, he stole every scene. This is a great British film, which unfortunately really loses its way during the Rolls Royce sketch.
