Whimsical Scottish comedy takes the field in this awkwardly directed comedy about people fulfilling their dreams and coming to terms with life, against the background of an upcoming soccer match to decide which local pub takes over the other. So simplistic that its several outcomes hold no surprises, the film stars Max Beesley (from TV's Tom Jones) with appearances by such disparate people as Isla Blair, Richard E Grant, Pierce Brosnan, Tom Sizemore, Neil Morrissey, Samantha Fox and Alan Shearer. Its many contrivances, though, are annoying rather than endearing, as is the normally reliable Ian Holm, romping away with the over-acting honours as a drunken landlord. A far-from-perfect match.
