Snobbish materialistic Staunton finds her husband has been cheating on her, leaves him and moves in with her sister, Imrie's council flat where she reassesses her life.
The opening scenes pave the way for a typical situation comedy and indeed there are laughs to be found in the first third of the film. The tone shifts significantly thereafter as Staunton must deal with life's often difficult hurdles particularly if you're not young anymore.
This has a really talented cast and the 3 leads Staunton, Imrie and Spall deliver solid performances. It is worth catching to be sure, albeit for the most part this is rather predictable and unremarkable.
