How this didn't win a handful of Oscars, i'll never know.

Less than 5 minutes in and i'm already wondering why i'm going to punish myself for the next one and a half hours.

The opening dialogue between the Scots lad and the English lad was painful to the ears. It's obvious they got the Scots lad to slow his speech so that an international audience could understand him, as a result, this conversation between the two lacked any natural flow or even basic human emotion.

The following foot race is sair tae bare and this is all before the opening titles.

I don't mind that people have to start somewhere when it comes to making film and those initial films will tend to be poor quality and this certainly ticks those boxes. Why though, do so many films have to rely on stupid people making stupid decisions?

One part which amused me was when we see our two charming ladies walk into Wanlockhead, then moments later, they tell the two lovely lads that they're walking across the Highlands. They'll have one hell of a trek, as Wanlockhead is in Dumfries and Galloway in the South West of Scotland, the Highlands are several hundreds of miles further North.
