Consumer DVD Review [Top] I used to have a video of this as I always loved Ted Danson in Cheers & Im Scottish - so despite the mixed reviews I wanted a copy. Oh & it was cheap.
Like the Monster of the Loch this film is a wonderful secret. Its not Lawrence of Arabia but it is a gentle comedy which stirs the emotions. A wonderful cast, terrific use of location , great script & a stirring finale. If you like Cheers & Local Hero then this is your film. If you have children aged between five & ten then this is ideal Rainy Sunday entertainment. Similar to another lost classic, Fairytale, about the Yorkshire girls who photographed Fairies. That had Harvey Keitel & Peter O Toole & still went missing. Im so pleased this is being released so I can show my seven year old daughter that Scotland is the land of monsters as well as Peter Pan Treasure Island as well as Harry Potter.
