Brassed Off! – 6/10

Following my trend of EM reviews, I’ll continue with this little guy. It wasn’t terrible, I can say that with confidence. There just wasn’t much to it. Some of the bits here and there were entertaining enough, and I was never bored. I enjoyed it while it was on, but it had no lasting value for me. It had a couple of laughs though I suppose…

It has a bit of a sad story mixed in with the romance and the main story which follows miners/brass players as they deal with the town being basically torn down by the closing of the mine where they were all employed. EM brought me back to this one after several years. I saw it once before during one of my previous marathons, probably one of those mad high school ones where I just went into the video store and picked up everything that had his face on the cover.

In any event, this one won’t be on the lineup in the near future, but could very well make its way back into the rotation of every 4-5 years.
