I was hoping to watch this at the cinema as I am a big Proclaimers fan but had to opt for the DVD instead. On a big screen you would benefit greatly from the set pieces and panoramic views of Scotland's capital.
The storyline is engaging if not complex, and actors are all very competent. I especially liked Jane Horrlocks as one of the main female leads. The snap shots of Edinburgh were great - however being a Hearts fan I don't venture into to Leith much.
I recognised most of the songs and was kept amused trying to guess which ones would come up next. I thought the Proclaimers' cameo at the start and the main characters doing a double take this was a nice touch.
My only gripe was that the songs were a little watered down - suppose it is difficult to compare because Craig and Charlie sing with such raw and rousing passion and the characters here have to do duets with male and female leads. Unfortunately some of the songs then sound a little like what you would hear in a supermarket.
Overall great film did not stretch the mind however the actors and songs kept my interest.
