This is a gentle comedy of village life, with some good lines. A young man falls in love with a Polish visitor and struggles to find a way to make himself understood.
Unlike Calendar Girls and Brassed Off, the film doesn't manage to develop a dark side to act as a counterpoint to the courting couple, which means that it can seem a bit insubstantial.
The lead character is a dead ringer for Hugh Grant, and there are some good supporting performances from unknowns.
The soundtrack is good and the settings are very beautiful. I loved the cameo from the Red Arrows.
This the kind of film Richard Curtis would make on a low budget.
