Does the book not allude to a homosexual relationship then in any way?*

I've neither read or watched either?

Thing is it was bigged up on forums as a 'lads' films when it really isn't. FV is part of the story but it's just a medium not the message. Hardly say it's 'homo shite' just a coming of age story like millions of others. If it didn't feature Adidas originals it wouldn't get a mention

Decent soundtrack though- Bunnymen, Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire to name a few.[/quote]

The soundtrack is top class. Film has a homosexual undercurrent. Didn't pick up on that reading the novel to be honest. Worth a watch even if it's to cross it off the list.

nowhere near as good as Footbal Factory!!!!

where was Danny Dyer?

poor casting imo.

book's good. film's not very good, but the accents are abysmal.

Spot on, it was marketed as a 'casual' film. When in reality the casual aspect of the film had very little relevance to the actual plot.

Having said that, it was decent. Think it captured that era pretty well, although having not been about in that era i wouldn't know. An ok film but nothing more.. and the repetition of the faux-philosophical lines throughout the film was annoying and added nothing.

Watched it when it first came out, didn't think much of it, it had a good cast though.

Might give it another watch at some point.

its on iplayer btw

I quite enjoyed the book but didn't think a great deal to the film apart from the soundtrack and that bird from shameless's fuckin brilliant arse



Yes please!

Out of that genre of film. This is the least cringe one if you ask me. Still nothing special. Actually found it boring.
