original, ironic comedy

Ian Ritchie from Aberdeen, 8th September, 2004

Fantastic!!!
I bought this, after being told it was very funny, and although it wasn't what I was expecting, it is one of the best dvd's I have watched.
It is very graphic in places, so if you are not into violence, sex, swearing, drugs it is definitely not your bag.
There are three completely unconnected short stories on this film, and each one tells a depressing story, and probably in its own way teaches a lesson.
It is not your classic comedy, but it is excellently directed, and I was laughing out loud when I wasn't feeling sorry for some of the characters.
This film brings out a mixture of emotions and comedy is only one of them. Only Irvine Welsh could come up with this genius, and although it is more likely to appeal to the guys than any of the women out there, (as my girlfriend tells me!!) it is definitely worth watching!!!
5 star acting, 5 star storylines and 5 star directing and producing gives this...guess what?!? 5 stars

Pure Genius

A Customer from Edinburgh, Scotland, 21st November, 2004

This film is definitely not for the faint hearted. I first saw this movie when it was released and it is brilliant to see it again on DVD.
A must watch, as it really captures life in a housing scheme.....especially the second story, which is called 'A Soft Touch'.
Not many films deserve 5 stars, but this one certainly does.

Curiosity...

A Customer from Stenhousemuir, 19th February, 2010

Had just finished the book itself so wanted to see if the film was any good and to be honest was left fairly disappointed. 'Trainspotting' this most definitely ain't! The acting is shocking at times and even the usually brilliant Ewen Bremner puts in a drab display. One to avoid!

bizarre but enjoyable

carl28 from , 21st August, 2009

i've wanted to see this film for years and have finally got round to it Not really what i expected. A trio of unconnected and quite bizarre stories in the thickest scottish accents ever heard (to the point you cant understand some parts). First story is about a down trodden bloke that gets revenge, second about a couple that have marrital difficulties(!) and the third the result of too much of a good thing Fans of the Human traffic/Train spotting ilk should enjoy this. Its rather twisted to the point i imagine most would switch off, but if you like something different give it a shot

Good Times!

A Customer from Stirling, 27th July, 2009

I'm a huge Irvine Welsh fan so my oppinion is totally biased. I really liked it, thought it was funny and good entertainment. The stories are totally bizarre, and it remains exactly like the book which is always good to see. Good for a wee laugh. I wouldnt advise it to prudish types though.
