Why has this film only been released on DVD now, I never heard of this movie until I saw the cover sitting on a videostore shelf where are part-time.
From the first scene to end of the credits I sat mesmerised by this film, the hapless hero Colin (Michael Sheen) travels to Blackpool on a moped to reclaim his wife Sandra (Jane Robbins) so simply a plot line done many times before but blows all attempts out of the water. The reason why he travels there wasn't why I loved this film, it was the journey, the people he meets along the way, the desire everyone has to just run free but are tied down by a 9-5 life. Colin's naivety is almost childlike that I smiled when he came across the fan turbines (sorry the name escapes me). It was shot beautifully, with superb acting and the soundtrack magnified it sheer brilliance.
I put the DVD in expecting...well I didn't expect anything, road movies are usually repetitive and fail to keep you interested as the end closes in, however this film didn't do that it continued to amaze me until the end. This film is 100% fun.
