Perfectly adorable

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

I saw this film at my local cinema because one or two of our neighbors were in the supporting cast. I went to see this without too many expectations to support a locally made low budget film. I was so pleasantly surprised, the inventive way the locations were used. The art of bringing together a fantastic mixture of professional and non professional actors. The heartstrings were pulled a good deal. My family also laughed a lot. If you are interested in film give it a go. If you want to see something a little different and get a genuine insight into how well an urban green space in South London can be utilised to project a powerful message and enjoy some great performances, then rent or buy this little beauty. A rare treat.

Uplifting and heartwarming story well scripted and a wonderful way to bring the real star of the show, Tooting Bec Common, to the big screen with it's variety of people, characters, social situations, wildlife, trees and general ecology. I have some history on this common having used it as a playground and discovery centre for my children as they grew up and the blend of stories is truly representative of the pattern of life it carries every day. I loved trying to figure out the scene locations, but that's an indulgence for locals. The social documentary also stands out in it's own right. Well done and to the cast and crew for bringing such an adventurous and brave production to fruition.

You can tell that this film was made on a small budget but it's nonetheless clever and affecting. It interweaves a number of stories on Tooting Common, a green open space with walkers, children, dogs, drinkers, homeless people, all sorts. One strand involves an escaped parrot; another features a very pregnant woman who eventually gives birth on the common and has to be helped by a scout master and a bunch or fascinated and repelled scouts; a third concerns an old couple, still in love but thinking about the end - the woman suggests buying mobility scooters and doing a Thelma and Louise off Beachy Head! It's not twee at all, it's quite upfront. I really admired what the two directors managed without much money - it's a sweet and inspiring effort.

A reminder that you don't need big budgets, special effects and Oscars to have a truly fabulous film.Funny, silly, and touching in equal measure this is one of those films where you just don't know why you like it, but you do. The characters are plausible and likable, the story lines veer from the ridiculous to the heart wrenchingly plausible and the simplicity allows the focus to remain on the hub of the plot, the inter relationship of normal people, warts and all. It isn't always pretty, it isn't always kind but it is unavoidably real. Its life.A film that you leave feeling content and happy, proud to be not just a Tootonian, not just a Londoner, but a human being.A triumph.
