Eighteen year old Vince Smith is obsessed with disco, until his world turns upside down when he falls in love with an exotic punk, not realising that she is Joanna, his work mate in a solicitor's office. Meanwhile, Vince's father Harold passes his retirement in front of the television, being ignored by his still-glamorous wife Irene, who prefers the company of younger men. Then, one Christmas Day, Harold reveals an unlikely knack for performing miraculous tricks, which catapults him reluctantly into the limelight, and changes all their lives forever. -- © 2000 Intermedia Film Equities Ltd.

If you're looking for an industrial-strength dose of twinkly twaddle, here's your hypo. Full Review |
|||
|
There's just too much going on, too many cliches and too little insight. Full Review |
|||
|
A predictable pudding of a love story surrounded by a lot of over-tweaked, overcooked nonsense. Full Review |
|||
|
Steiner and Hewitt couldn't decide which tale they wanted to tell -- Vince's or Harold's -- and so we get both, each one getting in the way of the other. Full Review |

|
There are a number of pleasures along the way. Full Review |
|||
|
There are some excellent digs at television's enduring capacity for trivialising serious issues. Full Review |
|||
|
Goes wildly over-the-top at every turn. Full Review |

|
This may still sound intriguing, but it's badly executed. Full Review |
