Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/references to drugs and homosexuality

Dyer & Jones are back for another kickabout: briefly; we meet Mark Lamanuzzi [Danny Dyer:] he has recently got married to the one he loves, but the only thing he has equal love for is the game of football/soccer; in this case the England football team through a European Championships, so he will eventually have to choose between one of his loves. The Boss [Vinnie Jones:] he is a internal character in Mark/Dyer's head that runs him like a football manager of England as Mark/Dyer is English with his England T-shirt on, so not necessarily the England football/soccer team.

Generally speaking: the framework is well laid out to incorporate; the internal, external and sometimes both components of this film with a base rate of good pacing of this 94 minutes film; we also have this commentary pairing of John Smith-Jones and Alan O'Luan [Jonathan Broke and Mark Lynch:] for this film they work for Flying On The Ball: to give us this exciting match between this newly married husband-and-wife, the action; football matches are sometimes brought to us by this exquisite art/animation; as they really put across; let's just say the positive components to being of any gender a football/soccer fan; I can really appreciate the high level of imagination as it relates to the comedy and art, the internal character developments and performances are good; but it also has to be said that Dyer and Jones have an excellent on-screen connection. The reason why I have grouped it all together or mostly altogether is because instead of clutching at straws; it would just be easier for me to say this; they very much at one point or another work simultaneously together.

Comedy, Character developments and performances; yes we do have some mature comedy references such as for a clean version Mark's new in-laws hearing too much on the telephone, the kind of things that you don't want to know and things you won't forget in a hurry, the external character developments and performances on both counts are good and the same can be said for performances as well.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; for it is unique football take on his honeymoon provided by this commentary team, the internal and external comedy and the art, yes it can be seen as a little bit cheesy, but on the whole this marking is richly deserved. This film also has 1 Winner accredited award to its name in the form of Fantasporto 2006 Audience Jury Award Richard Nockles Marlowe Fawcett
