Brilliant!
This has been my favourite film ever for donkey's years-I can even recite pretty much every word (though no-one will care!).
It's a pretty hard film to find to be honest, and the people who have watched this had probably never heard of it before. It surprises me that the people who have heard of this film are harder to find than Mr Bin Laden! The fact is though, as I write this, not one person who has watched this film has rated it under "4 out of 7". I reckon this is a pretty good sign to anybody that the film is fine! It hasn't aged, as the story is ageless. Everyone can relate to the story and its so simple (the simplicity makes this film even better). The music is fine (especially the introduction-which, in itself, indroduces the characters in a very original way). The end version of "Can't help falling in love with you" is superb with a toe-tapping Irish flavour (yes, you'll even enjoy the credits!). I couldn't rate "Some Kind Of Wonderful" anything but 7 stars-a film first watched in my teens still hits all the right notes for me-and I'm 30 now! Excellent-if not underated-"teen" film! |
