Somers Town Ok, but...

Saw the latest Shane Meadows film, Somers Town. While it has alot of the sweet, human melodrama and humour that populate all his film, the warm sentimentality is shattered when the final 20 mins feels like the marketing arm of Eurostar got involved..

That aside, there are some genuinely laugh out loud bits - certainly from the blond star of Made in England, Thomas Turgoose. It's testimony of how good Made in England was that expectations for me were so high, and still look forward to future Shane Meadows productions.
