As someone who is Burnley born and raised, the overblown 'bumbling, friendly northerner' stereotype is the only mark on what is quite a fun, easy watching and heartwarming film. Most of the humour is very base, mainly playing on the 'dumb, friendly north' Vs the 'Snobby, cold hearted south'.
But under the surface of this low budget, quick watch film is a very real, very close to home look at the life of a true Burnley legend, and the troubles of the town and the surrounding area. If it casts some light on the town to the unaware, and to this story, then it's done it's job. Well worth a watch!
