Mike Bassett: England Manager is a comedy and an absolutely hilarious one at that!! This is actually one of the few comedy films that is actually far funnier than it's teaser trailer!!

In fact, it is so funny that it makes me feel proud to be English in that this film, in my opinion is THE Brit-flick of 2001!!

Ricky Tomlinson (of 'The Royle Family' fame) plays Mike Bassett, a down and out football manager who is chosen to manage the England team.

The film follows his time as England manager and the trials and tribulations that come along with such a post. Scarily enough, many of what goes on actually reflects real life football as we know it; contributing to it's hilarity!!

Mike Bassett is a manager who doesn't appear fit enough to be a primary school P.E. teacher, let alone England manager; in fact I am surprised that Ricky Tomlinson didn't have a heart attack during filming!!

Mike Bassett is also a manager who writes his team down on the back of his fag packets, which should give you a general idea of his professionalism during the film!!

Every aspect of this film is absolutely superb and faultless from the editing to the soundtrack to the casting, direction and acting!!! The special effects used are also to be laughed at (in the sense that they are funny and not c**p!!)

The script is also superb and will have you laughing all the way home!!

There are also cameos from two thirds of Atomic Kitten and also Gabby Yorath!!

If you want a good night out which will leave you going home with a great big grin on your face then I suggest you watch this!!
