Advantages: Better then watching paint dry

Disadvantages: Not as good as watching paint drip!

Ever seen a movie that is so 'feel-good', or corny and stupid, that it makes you feel physically sick? Well I did, There's Only One Jimmy Grimble tries to do what British film makers have been trying to do well for the last 40 years, a make a football movie. But this isn't just a football movie, it's about Jimmy the 15 year old Manchester bullied kid who wants to be a footballer, and, you guessed it, becomes one.

The slow motion going to kick a football with patriotic music in the background really did have me reaching for the sick bag, fortunately the old lady next to me was too busy sleeping to realise I'd give her a present to take home with her, and I'm not talking about any soft mints.

You see this is a movie that should be compared to Tarzan, except take away the exotic rainforest and insert a grey, rainy Manchester football pitch. It is targetted at kids but is given this 'drama' heading in every Film Review magazine. Men will hate it, women will hate it and kids will not want to see it.
