Customer Reviews:
Very Welsh Quirky with a terrific cast to pull it off!.......2007-02-24
This is one charming if not extremely oddly refreshing 100 minutes.The story and it's characters are totally implausible, but the overly-talented cast of Ionn Gruffudd,Rachel Griffiths,Jonathan Pryce and others really shine as they always do.There are laughs and there are tears,and there is stunning cinematography of South Wales;but the storyline is just too bizarre for it's own good.Alot of belief has to be suspended in order to savour this 'Very Welsh Quirky".I think maybe 3-1/2 *s is most appropriate.Still,one viewing is worth the time. Companion films
to VERY ANNIE MARY would be BIG EDEN and STATE AND MAIN.
Very Annie Mary.......2007-02-07
I love this movie. However, the ad for it does not state whether or not it is closed captioned. Since I need closed captioned I was diappointed when I received it to find out that it is not closed captioned. You might want to consider putting this info in your ad regarding each movie.
Thanks.

"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful."
- Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)
Someone recommended this film to me and I finally got around to watching it last night. Wish I hadn't waited! What a funny and ultimately joyful film. Another review referred to it as quirky. Yes, quirky in the best sense and filled with the odd characters I've begun to think I could find in any small village of Wales, Ireland or Scotland. I know, I know... not likely, but please don't burst my happy misapprehensions! They're surely a boost for the tourist trade. (Others of this ilk: Bally Kissangel, Monarch of the Glen, etc.)
I think you'll especially love the music in this film,, so much so that I'm adding the words to the ending song. It's Lauretta's classic aria, "O Mio Babbino Caro," from Giacomo Puccini's opera GIANNI SCHICCHI; sung beautifully by Welsh soprano Meriel Andrews in this film. Check out the soundtrack on Amazon. (Hope it's okay to copy these lyrics here for future readers. I've taken them from a couple of different sources.)
O mio babbino caro,
mi piace è bello, bello;
vo'andare in Porta Rossa
a comperar l'anello!
Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!
e se l'amassi invano,
andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
ma per buttarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Oh my dearest papa (or "Oh, my dear daddy" but "dearest papa" scans better with the music.)
I love him, he is so handsome
I want to go to Porta Rossa
to buy the ring.
Yes, yes, I want to go there
And if my love were in vain
I would go to Ponte Vecchio
and throw myself into the Arno.
I struggle and suffer torments
Oh God, I would rather die.
Papa, have pity, have pity.
Papa, have pity, have pity.
A Liberating Original.......2007-01-06
Largely avoids the cloying, winking cuteness of "The Full Monty", while managing to mine the same vein of genuine and endearing eccentricity. It just exudes life and originality in nearly every frame, has lots of just plain lol moments, and is quite touching and liberating.
GRIFFITHS SHINES.......2007-01-05
A DELIGHTFUL MOVIE, STARTING WITH THE OPENING SEQUENCE OF THE OPERA FROM THE TRUCK....HIGHLY RECOMMEND
