Mark Addy, best known as the lovable tubster from 'The Full Monty', is more an object of annoyance than affection in this uneasy big screen adaptation of a semi-popular stage play.
He plays Frank, a fat friendless loser whose only noteworthy feature is the most incredible short-top long-back eat-your-heart-out-Chris-Waddle mullet. Things go from bad to worse for our bottom-feeding protagonist when his mum finally decides to kick him out of the family home and he has to move into a soulless Leicester B&B. That's where he meets bespectacled simpleton Kenny (Charlie Creed-Miles) and his dribbling wheelchair-bound brother Keith (James Hooton, a.k.a. village idiot Sam Dingle from TV's 'Emmerdale') - and that's when things start to get interesting
