After over 30 years working in the Glasgow shipyards, Frank (played by Peter Mullan) is laid off from his job and thrown into depression - but he has a crazy plan to regain his self esteem. This gritty comedy with a soft heart was obviously inspired by The Full Monty as, like in that film, our hero decides to get his kit off. However, this time it's in order to swim the English Channel. The bantering support cast are great (Billy "Lord of the Rings" Boyd is especially good), and the film's salty Glaswegian humour raises the movie above the usual feel-good fare.
