Owd Bob (1998)
I question WHY not more publicity is given to such wonderful non violent, non sexual yet very enjoyable films
This is an excellent family film which sadly enough has not been rated with the same publicity as films out of the US, i.e. HOME ALONE. Personally, I feel that in the making of OWD BOB, the realistic story line which one can relate to plus the magnificent views should be able to hit our cinemas and deserve some credibility.
The content of this film can be compared to BABE but at the end of the day, OWD BOB shows life in reality but is also pleasing to watch and our children should be able to enjoy a film without having to be constantly entertained with the extremes, i.e SPACE JAM. I personally really enjoyed SPACE JAM but the contents are of course unreal.
I happened to watch OWD BOB which was shown on our TV this evening, only because of the write-up describing it being based in the Isle of Man. Having lived for a number of years in the U.K. this therefore 'took my eye'. What pleasure it was and definitely worth recommending as a good Friday evening family film with your hot chocolate and biccies.
