10/10
Truly heart-warming, amazing movie..

Im not sure if you could call it a movie, but it certainly deserves to be called one.

When Neil is put on a train to Doncaster he ends up on the train with the stripper from his Stag night the night before. When the train fails to stop, Neil panics that he will be late for his wedding.Pandora(actual name Julie), tries to help him, and, predictably, they fall in love. Although, at the beginning it doesn't seem it, this a seriously sweet movie, with a beautiful message. A far cry from Rik Mayalls usual stuff. Its really nice to see him in a decent role, for a change.

Though im not a huge fan of Rik Mayalls, im a HUGE fan of Helena Bonham Carter, and i ADORED this film. Shes absolutely adorable, and her character, Julie, brings depth to the film.The theme tune, Dancing Queen by Abba, fits in perfectly with story in two ways. Julies unfortunate career, and her dancing with the umbrella at the end(BEST part of the movie, its adorable)..

This is a typical portrayal that anyone, can fall in love, anywhere, regardless of class. Its truly heart-warming and one of my all time favourite movies. Shame i can only watch it on YouTube. I recommend it to ANYONE. EVERYONE NEEDS to go watch this movie. Now.
