I suspect I would have enjoyed this movie more back when it came out. I am older now, so the sex scenes, sex talk, and the “camaraderie” that takes the form of verbal abuse back and forth might have seemed fresher to me, and, along with the serious illness theme, containing fewer clichés. And though I can usually handle Scottish or Welsh accents, the version we watched had low volume associated with it and no captions. We turned the volume of the tv way up, but when they talked softly we still had to strain to hear or draw from the context of the conversation.

As a result, it was not as good... read the rest.
