At night, he heads to the pub to play darts--and that's pretty much his life. His wife, Sandra (Jane Robbins), has never been very faithful, but when she runs off with local policeman and fellow darts enthusiast Geoff (Jim Carter), Colin realizes that he needs her, and takes off to Blackpool on a moped in order to win her back. Along the way, he meets a myriad of amusing and helpful characters who aid him in his journey and make him see that he hasn't exactly been experiencing life to the fullest. This warm British road comedy was written by Paul Fraser, a frequent collaborator to Shane Meadows (ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE MIDLANDS, A ROOM FOR ROMEO BRASS). [More]

  • In the entertaining tradition of THE FULL MONTY, here's a delightfully funny story about the wild road trip that changes one man's life! Colin (Michael Sheen -- LAWS OF ATTRACTION) is a simple guy who had always meekly settled for the simple things in life. But it's not until his wife Sandra runs off with a friend (Jim Carter -- ELLA ENCHANTED) that Colin realizes just how good things might have been. Determined to win her back and jump-start his life, Colin hops on his trusty moped and embarks on a chaotic cross-country journey of discovery that opens his eyes to places he's never seen ... and introduces him to people he never expected to meet! Also starring Mark Addy (THE FULL MONTY) and Celia Imrie (BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY).
