Plot: This movie is one of my all time favourites. You know the guy you see in the grubbiest bars, pubs, and dives? The one that reeks like booze, sweat and smoke? The one who always has a black eye or split lip from the scrap the night before? The guy, that for all these reasons are why you can't stop watching, laughing at, amazed by and can't get enough of? That is who this movie is about. You must see this movie and i guarantee that when it's done, you'll be disapointed that there isn't more.
