Sun 17 Aug 2014: 'Sunshine on Leith' -- ChOC film of the month
This event is in the past.
Cert PG, 1hr 35m
A jubilant, heartfelt musical with the songs of The Proclaimers
A jubilant, heartfelt singalong musical about the power of home, family and love. It tells the tale of one tight-knit family and the three couples bound to it, as they experience the joys and heartache that punctuate all relationships. And they do it all while singing to the euphoric music of The Proclaimers.
"A rousing attempt to do for The Proclaimers what "Mamma Mia!" did for Abba or "Tommy" for The Who. Two squaddies return from Afghanistan, head to the pub ('I'm On My Way') to forget their troubles ('It's Over and Done With'), hook up ('I Met You'), consider proposing ('Let's Get Married'), then deal with the pain of separation ('I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)') when one of them expresses an intention to emigrate to an inevitable destination ('Letter from America'). Meanwhile, Peter Mullan, the dad of one of the boys, finds his marriage to Jane Horrocks tested by ill-health and a secret daughter." (The Guardian)
ChOC says: "You'll enjoy it because it's a feel-good romp with some great songs and good performances."
