    I. Loved. This. And the juxtaposition at the end with the kids screaming - perfect. Depressingly perfect. Or perhaps even perfectly depressing. But I've watched it twice now. And I'll no doubt watch it again.

    this was an inoffensive little film,which did not deserve the rant by ninny1888, which says more about him and his hatred of edinburgh than the film. if having a personality ninny means you curse and swear then you can keep it and stick it where the sun does not shine

    Main point his mum is making is that the lamp is faulty and a fire hazard. I think that it is as many see some form of nepotism and any ways, most less fortunate people would be in cardboard city at his age he should be grateful that he has a parent or parents that didn't kick his ass out on or before his 16th birthday. the end.
