Tonally, it's like a cross between a Richard Curtis syrupy rom com (although the guy doesn't get the girl) and an Edgar Wright take on The Godfather... It's silly and sentimental and not afraid of a happy ending. It has all the little observational elements that make Gregory's Girl so perfect, although the target (commerical radio) is not as universal and the central character (a DJ obsessed with his car) even less so. Watching it for the first time in 2021 it felt too old to be contemporary and yet not old enough to be a classic. It may well become a classic. I'd give it three and a half stars if I could. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Strange to think how it got made *by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 June 2020* I knew of this film and had seen some amusing clips from it in the past but wasn't sure if I had actually seen it. As it turned out I hadn't. Looking at it now it's difficult to see how it would have drawn people into cinemas to watch it when it appears to be no more than a TV movie at best. On a technical level the film print does not really stimulate you to watch. The clarity is fuzzy and the lighting is uniformly drab. The 'star' is the best thing about it. Bill Paterson is always good value. Claire Grogan looks uncomfortable and the rest of the cast is a who's Who of Scottish talent when they were just starting out. The real issue is the story which is not convincing at all. Yes I know Bill Forsyth is a quirky talent but this needed some rocket boosters to give the story a bit of oomph. I'm glad I watched it.There is a certain sense of the time in the mid 80's that it does convey nicely but as I said earlier I would imagine anyone who paid to see it in the cinema would have felt a bit short changed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Low Key Gem *by C***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 January 2005* This wonderful gem is very understated and typical of Bill Forsyth's best work (see also Gregory's Girl, That Sinking Feeling and Local Hero however do take care to avoid Gregory's Two Girls like the plague a 0 star clunker).Dumped DJ Dickie Bird (the perennially excellent Bill Paterson) wants to be taken seriously and tries his hand at some investigative journalism. After seeing an attack on an ice cream van manned by Alex "Taggart" Norton and Clare Grogan being trashed he gets involved in an internecine ice cream war.A warm, amusing script coupled with an understated Mark Knopfler Score (bits of Love Over Gold for the record) and sympathetic direction/cinematography results in a great feel good film, a star is docked as feels a little dated. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/56825440-comfort-and-joy-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/56825440-comfort-and-joy-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
