Thanks for the reminder. Judging by the way it was so poorly distributed, I don't suppose the video shops will bother with it. >:(

I believe so.  It was on very fleetingly at what it would seem to be very few cinemas a few months ago.

It really shows some of the stuff refugees go through well, and while the allotment holders seem like a bunch of racist stereotypes at first, you soon find out more about them and the way they interact. I particularly like the traumatised Chinese guy; it reminded me of one of my girls who arrived badly traumatised after being in the war. Good film.

It's a perfect British film. My non-allotmenting chums thoroughly enjoyed it, even though they don't like mud. Weirdo's.

We watched it last night and really enjoyed it- think I'll buy it for my brother for Christmas.

Anyone looking to buy it should go online to www.woolworths.co.uk  - go to DVD's then write 'grow your own' in the search box. I've just ordered it for £10.99 including postage  8). That price is the lowest by far that I could find - even in Woolworths store it is listed on their computer at £16.79 and my branch didn't stock it anyway.
I'll have to wait till Christmas to view it as it is a stocking filler for me. We plan on watching it after our Christmas dinner.
