Truly a disgusting, vile film, with only a small amount of real humour.
The character of the father in particular is vulgar in the extreme (intentionally so, obviously), and portrayed in the most pathetic, seedy manner.
My wife and I found this film horribly upsetting, with absolutely no redeeming features at all. Frankly, I wish I had never seen it.
I consider this British effort to be a sick and gross embarrassment.
Those who enjoyed this film have an ability I totally lack: that of rejoicing in a display of deep depravity and squalor.
The producers should be ashamed of themselves.
