ON A CLEAR DAY (12A) 99 mins
Made redundant by a Glasgow shipyard,
pig-headed Frank (Peter Mullan) decides
the challenge of a cross-Channel swim
will restore more than just his pride.
In turns inspired and irritateb by his
Full Monty-esque band of mates and his
bus-driving wife Joan (Brenda Blethyn),
his battle to save the relationship
with his son proves even tougher.
Gently !musing in places, cloyingly
sentimental in others, it's a watchable
slice of triumphant melancholia.
