Synopsis
Colin is everybody’s pal. By day, he runs a corner store. At night, he heads to the pub to play darts. And that’s pretty much his life. His wife Sandra has never been very faithful, but when she runs off with local policeman and fellow darts enthusiast Geoff, Colin realizes that he needs her, and takes off to Blackpool on a moped in order to win her back. Along the way, he meets a myriad of amusing and helpful characters who aid him in his journey and make him see that he hasn’t exactly been experiencing life to the fullest.

Reviews
The performance of Michael Sheen in the role of Colin is so successful that he will drive you to frustration whilst you wait for him to take control of his life and assert himself… This is the kind of film that keeps us smiling, not laughing, with its wry images and touching emotions… Michael Sheen is superb as Colin, with his constant hangdog expression and his shaggy mop of curly hair
