Twin Town DVD

Advantages: Its funny, lighthearted and clever.
Disadvantages: The humour is dark and bitter, so may only appeal to some!

"Twin Town" Ah the Welsh equivalent to "Trainspotting"! Set in the industrial, but beautiful town of Swansea, South Wales, this dark comedy introduces us to the perils of family life, tragedy, troubled youths and friendship. The film is rightly rated 18 and even though a lot of children nowadays will watch an adult film, it is not suitable at all for younger viewers and in many ways can influence them. Although, it does however reflect a society ...
...the film there is violence, deception, revenge, theft, drugs and extremely strong language. There are also sexual references and small graphic scenes. Even though these scenes are shown in good light, they are still graphic. *Another caution, there is a swear word in every conversation!! IMDB reckons the word "F**k" features 700 times - that's probably about right!! Runs approximately 100 minutes and is released by Universal Pictures UK ltd. The ... Read review

Advantages: Great charachters.
Disadvantages: Bit off the wall for some people.

Twin town is a movie that has both benefitted and detracted from by the comparisons with cult hit Trainspotting. While the tag obviously gave it some publicity and piqued many people's interest, it also left many with the wrong impression of what to espect when they see the film, leading to some dissapointment. The only similarities really are that both deal in graphic terms with the more down-trodden and morally-different elements of society and ...
...quite sad tale of two twin boys, Julian and Jeremy Lewis (Real life brothers Llyr & Rhys Ifans) following their daddy Fatty Lewis's accident at work that lead to a subsequent feud with his employer Bryn Cartwright and eventually involved both families and a couple of rogue coppers. I won't go any further with the plot so as to not spoil it for those of you who watch it, but suffice to say that a number of people (and animals) end up meeting a very ... Read review

...Apologies for the duplicate review, didnt know it wasnt allowed and didnt want anyone to miss it by going to the 'other' entry. I have asked Ciao to delete this one already. Twin town is a movie that has both benefitted and detracted from by the comparisons with cult hit Trainspotting. While the tag obviously gave it some publicity and piqued many people's interest, it also left many with the wrong impression of what to espect when they see the film, leading to some dissapointment. The only similarities really are that both deal in graphic terms with the more down-trodden and morally-different elements of society and that both were produced in low-budget style with a high emphasis on charachter development over fancy film techniques. The movie itself tells the really quite sad tale of two twin boys, Julian and Jeremy Lewis... Read review

Disadvantages: Ibiza Is not represented well

...piece of comedy genius. The bank give the two some reward money and their parents agree they can go on holiday. IBIZA awaits and the tunes start blasting out of your speakers left, right and centre. Meeting a top Dj the two teenagers manage to get a set at a club and pave their way to super stardom. And they end up with the girls of their dreams. Obviously as they set out to do in the first place the get what the want.................SEX!!!!!! THE CAST The partnership of Kathy burke and Harry Enfield makes the film outstanding. Both are great at making people laugh. The film also includes top actors from eastenders and the fast show. But most notable is Rhys Ifans who starred in twin town (I think). The cast can?t be doubted because they made an outstanding film. THE DVD Now that I have told you about the film and the cast the special... Read review
