Although this 'kids-escape-the-gloom-of-poverty' film is no masterpiece, there's some heartwarming stuff here. Geordie boys Gerry (Chris Beattie) and Sewell (Greg McLane) go, often amusingly, through hell and high water to earn £1000 so they can buy season tickets to see their beloved Newcastle United. It's uneven in tone, but with a menacing performance by Tim Healy as Gerry's violent dad, there are lots of small pleasures, including a role for Roy Hudd. Wa'hey the lads.
