Prison Governor

Lucky Break
is the first outing for director Peter Cattaneo since The Full
Monty swept through cinemas four years ago.
He has created
another wonderful film, and although it will find it hard to match
the former's box office success, Lucky Break has that same
magic blend of comedy and tragedy that made The Full Monty
so special.
The pace of
the film is spot on - it doesn't rush the story or the actors, but
gives them all the chance to turn in impressive performances.
All in all a
summer treat to savour.
