Genres & Description

Comedy Drama

7.2 / 10

An odd film, primarily looking at how the dole affects the underclass in Britain. Tim Roth stars as Colin, a slow and possibly intellectually disabled man living with his parents and brother in a housing project. He and his sarcastic manipulative brother still behave like teenagers, living with their parents, harassing each other. The problem is that they are in their late teens or twenties. Neighborhood characters include Hayley, a young woman with a crush on Colin, and Coxy (Gary Oldman) a violent local skinhead who befriends Colin. Trouble ensues when their wealthy aunt gives Colin a job and his brother becomes jealous.

The faux rock music and cornball American accent sound so incredibly stupid and incongruous with this classic British effort by Mike Leigh. Yanks...... - @Sunday, January 12, 2014 2:32 AM

When I bought the US DVD that featured this trailer I pissed myself. It is a great lesson in how to portray a film so badly, so wide of the mark, in a few seconds..... - @Friday, August 17, 2012 8:54 AM

I've just caught up with Mike Leigh's " Meantime", 28 years on. Absolutely riveting, gritty study of hopelessness on a London estate. Performances so believable, they hurt. But what is more painful is that it could so easily be now. For the unemployable underclass, we have come nowhere, or worse. - @Saturday, August 13, 2011 10:02 PM

I can't believe this is a genuine trailer, must be a joke surely. Funny though. I laugh all the way through this film, every time I watch it, and seen it a million times. :-D - @Thursday, April 7, 2011 8:56 PM
