Did not know what to expect of this film but when i watched it, it had me crying with laughter. The humour is so unique, so brilliant.

If you're looking for a film where you want to sit down and laugh- plain and simple- choose happy-go-lucky!!!

Watching this film made me want to burn my dvd player. A thouroughly pointless film with the most annoying of all lead characters. It saddens me that the british film industry make such terrible films when we have so much great british talent out there.
The only positive thing i can say is that at least it wasn't yet another ganster/period drama we seem so good at churning out.

As much as I hate to use the cliche, you're either going to love or hate this film. I watched it with my friend: She hated it, I loved it. Poppyer herself is either going to annoy the hell out of you, or you'll wish she was your best friend. The style of the film, with no real, main plot as such, no beginning and end, just almost a catalogue of her life from x date, and the low-budget simplicity of it, again, will be hit or miss. This wasn't what I was expecting from a film, and I dont think it was what my friend was expecting either, which maybe is partly why she hated it so much. As long as you're aware this is by no means a hollywood blockster-style film (and never tries to be), then you should be fine.
I wouldn't buy this film, but I'd watch it again, and I would reccomend you see it at least once.
