Pasty Faces

The other Glasgow guy who commented negatively about this film has absolutely zero sense of humour.This is an excellent,inspired,hilarious low budget film set in Glasgow,Los Angeles and Las Vegas.The guy who starred in/wrote and directed this fun fest should have a big future in film although his co-star( a very funny comedy actor) steals the film with his love of American Mafia films and impersonations of Al Pacino.Cora Bissett and Chloe Annett are funny,dangerous and sexy.Three of the things I love in my female stars.Looking forward to the next one by this team.11 out of 10!

Saw this on dvd recently.

Some people on here seem to take it serious, pointing out errors about getting visas and such, very stupid, as this little film is just pure pulp entertainment that does not take itself serious. It is almost like a cartoon with swear words, so I just wanted to clear that up.

I have to agree that the script was underdeveloped, a common thing with most films in the uk because of the lack of money, but for what it was I had a laugh. Compared to most hollywood comedies, it had a low budget rawness that I liked.

It definately suffered because of the budget, there is no question of that, but I thought all the cast were great, and I loved the bus scenes. On a whole, it was a little caper about a couple of out of luck dreamers who head for the west coast, and things don't turn out as planned.

I would give it a seven out of ten, taking into consideration it was a low budget movie with no names. Thiink the director is one to watch for in future, in Hollywood entertaining films, not Brit films.

Some Comments on this film are very harsh and would agree with other viewer personal. I watched the film on a Saturday night, not expecting much, but what a laugh. The best Scottish film in years. Need much more. As for comments re: acting.I thought they were great. The big guy from the porridge ad just signed a deal worth $1m and Pasty Faces just got a U.S distribution. Big Money if i'm not wrong. The wee guy who plays Joe is never off the tele. So i Think the film and the cast were excellent. Well worth watching.

I saw this film in Glasgow earlier this year. I knew by stories I heard it was not some slick big budget flick, which is really why I went because I am sick of supporting big budget films that all have the same formula.

It was not a great film, but it definately had the potential there to be a hit, the thing that stopped it I think was the budget, as I heard it was made for like a quarter of a million, so taking that into consideration it was ok. I have to admit the cinema was packed when I saw it and people laughed a lot because there was some very funny scenes. The cast on a whole were also good, especially the guy that plays Joe.

I have to say on a whole though that it seemed like a film that was wasted because of the lack of budget. I think if it had a budget it could been just as big as "Road Trip", and funnier. It was refreshing coming out of Scotland as all we get here is drunks and social deprivation, so I will give it the thumbs up for that alone. I have seen many bad films, but most of them don't have the excuse that they don't have a budget or stars, so I can't criticise this harshly.

I am a sucker for shiny colorful covers and pitches, so that's what made me rent this in Blockbuster, as there is nobody in it I recognise.

It wasn't a great film, but I contradict myself with saying that because I have watched it four times!! So it has something. I think it is the great characters, as the plot is very simple. Bunch of losers and dreamers out of their territory head for Vegas.

I loved some of the lines. Main prankster gets his finger stuck in a shotgun in a Vegas hotel while preparing for a heist, " I can't take you to a hospital with a shotgun stuck to your finger!"

They also have a sloth who lies in their bus all day, but decides he needs a change, so he wants to get off before Vegas "Every time anybody has a problem they either sing about it like the kids from fame, or everybody heads for Vegas! F**k Vegas!, I am out of here to be with nature"

The film is full of great little bits like this, but as I keep saying it is not a great film, but I now own the dvd! hahaha.

To sum up. A simple little low budget film, but unlike a lot of big films, you could find yourself watching it again and again and not be bored.

PS. Guy who plays Joe will be a star one day
