Not Forsyth’s best, but still a charmer
This film’s main plot ingredient is ice cream…but until it gets there (10 – 20 minutes in), it’s surprisingly bland for a Bill Forsyth movie. Nevertheless, if you can make it through that beginning, you’re in for a treat…maybe not on the order of a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, but at least a fudgsicle from the corner mini-mart. It’s also an unsung Christmas movie, good to check out if you’re tired of seeing It’s a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Story over and over. Cheerio, folks!
An ice-cream war in Glasgow in December?? It couldn’t be, could it?
Excellent movie – the only sad thing is that it’s taken me so long to see it. Quite different from Gregory’s Girl: it’s probably not quite as charming but I think it’s equally quirky and has a better storyline. Great acting as well, while managing to maintain that same freshness that we saw in Gregory’s Girl.
