There's Only One Jimmy Grimble
There’s Only One Jimmy Grimble is a feel-good comedy-drama which tells the story of a bullied teenager’s rocky journey out of childhood and into adulthood without ever taking its tongue out of its cheek.
Produced by Jeremy Bolt, Sarah Radclyffe and Alison Jackson, the film marks the feature debut of acclaimed television director John Hay, who co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Mayle and Rik Carmichael. It combines the star power of three of Britain’s top actors – Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone and Gina McKee – with the youthful enthusiasm of newcomer Lewis McKenzie, whose natural charm and instinctive acting skill mark him out as a formidable new talent.

There's Only One Jimmy Grimble - Jude
This was a sweet movie, a bit predictable, but very enjoyable. Lots of great soccer scenes, good acting and an interesting story. My only criticism was that, even for someone used to English accents, I had difficulty understanding all the dialogue. I felt like I could have benefited from sub-titles. The bullying scenes are a bit disturbing, so not for younger children, but great for early teens and up.
