10/10
Great gem of a film

Slice of northern life. It's fun, heartfelt and a joy to watch. The characters are all well defined and likeable. The three lads find themselves totally out of their depth when they agree to perform a heist and rob their employer's safe, whilst the three lasses want them to 'do the right thing' but opinions on that differ! It's funny yet touching, particularly the scene with Curly and his dad Teapot, an old sea dog who'd love to be back out on the river but ill health and the demise of the industry make this an impossibility. Curly attempts the heist thinking it will give his dad one last chance. It made me laugh and cry, there's a lot of heartfelt moments among the capers. The female characters all have great strength, take no nonsense and ultimately save the lads from themselves. Fab! Great soundtrack too.
