There's Only One Jimmy Grimble | Rotten Tomatoes

Audience Member I enjoyed it the whole time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member a great piece of british film making, bringing english culture and football together in 1 package. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a great film, I thought this movie was very good, Lewis McKenzie, Gina McKee, Ben Miller, Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone and it also starred Samia Ghadie (Maria in Coronation Street) I loved this film, I own it on DVD Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Grimble is a Northern lad who wants to make it big in football. Well there's always hope, sadly there's no hope of him making it big in films. Another dreadful football film to add to the pantheon. Thank God there's only one of these films. Shearer has a cameo role, that is how low the acting goes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I've now seen this film 5 or 6 on DVD. The first time I saw it I wasn't really watching and so wasn't convinced, but thought it was good. The second time, I watched it seriously ... and thought it absolutely brilliant. For myself, an Englishman who always wanted to be a footballer but without the necessary talent (or any talent), this is a story of dreams come true. Of a home-life that is far from perfect, but with a mother who loves you. And a teacher who used to be a striker at the highest level. How much better can it get? There's great acting from Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone, Gina McKee and Samia Ghandie; and a brilliant soundtrack reinforcing the emotionally key moments of the film. The side-plots are subtly handled and the ending has made me cry more than once. Wonderful ..... especially if you have always wanted to be a great footballer but never made it, or have been unlucky in love. Recommended.
