This home-grown comedy about Leon (Mark Frankel), a Jewish boy who discovers he is really the son of a Yorkshire pig farmer, is more or less a one-joke film. But the joke is sustained to a degree both by its offbeat characters and by the amusing performances of Connie Booth and Brian Glover as Leon's Yorkshire parents, taking down the pigs' heads that adorn their walls and adopting Jewish mannerisms to make Leon feel at home. Despite Frankel's rather one-note and permanently bemused portrayal of the title character, this is a charmingly offensive little comic number and certainly an original.
