Really good, entertaining, feel good film if you fancy something up beat. Based on a true story allegedly.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 25-Jan-23 18:22:13

Watched it at the weekend.

It is based on a true story, Dave is often on daytime TV talking about finance and motivation.

I liked this film. It's very good. Also heartwarming to realise it's true.

Thanks for the recommendation TerriBull. Will look out for this one on Sat evening when there's not much to watch on TV!

Agreed. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Have followed his progress for a few years. Such a lovely, unjudgemental personality with a mischievous sense of humour.

I watched it this afternoon a great film.

Sparklefizz Wed 25-Jan-23 18:27:28

I am halfway through this film TerriBull. It's good to have something lighthearted to watch.

TerriBull Wed 25-Jan-23 18:34:31

Yes that's what I thought Sparklefizz, I watched it last night whilst my husband ploughed through the highly acclaimed but rather gruelling "All Quite on The Western Front" asking whether I'd like to watch that too, but I opted for the soft option, and I wasn't disappointed.

I thought Rory Kinnear was fabulous. I really enjoyed it.

MerylStreep Wed 25-Jan-23 18:55:05

What a lovely man he is.
All quiet on the Western Front is brutal but so real.

Jaxjacky Wed 25-Jan-23 19:00:02

We watched it at the weekend too, thoroughly enjoyable.

I was going to start a thread this afternoon recommending this lovely film!

My DH watched that, I know it’s realistic but I really have no need to watch.

I remember having to read the book at school l, it was harrowing to say the least.

I haven't seen the film but I love Dave. He's a breath of fresh air.

Lovely film, but I cried at the ending.... happy tears.

DH and I watched this yesterday and would highly recommend it. Thought the casting and acting was excellent.

Aveline Sun 29-Jan-23 20:08:58

Lovely film. So nice to see Rory Kinnear. He looks so like his dear Dad and his late aunt who was my first boss. She was such a nice person and a pleasure to work for. Just seeing Rory brought her right back. Sad but nice too.

We watched this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Rory Kinnear was great and you could see his Dad in him!

Just watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a talent Rory Kinnear is.

Urmstongran Thu 02-Feb-23 18:18:30

I plan to watch it tonight.
😊

I love Rory Kinnear, he wrote so beautifully about his late sister Karina.

I don't know if I put this on though and fell asleep, so i will have to c heck blush
