Wheel Love

Well well well this was a surprise. Two films that only really make full sense when played back to back (this goes with Team Cupcake Go! 6.9 which followed immediately before at the Heats). The only time I can ever remember something similar was when a team basically paid the entry fee to put on some art wank they shot over the 14 minutes that two slots would allow them. This team/s actually had the best intentions at heart and so the daring move gets a thumbs up from me. Both films have basically the same start with Kevin and the girl he's interested in + her daughter saying goodbye as the girls head off on a date whilst he heads off to the TAB. The date with Roger for the girls starts promisingly enough with talk of sports and then the decision is made to have a go at rollerskating given that he was apparently a master skater back in the day. Of course this is a bit of a flat out lie and allows our main female actor to reflect on things with the other guy. Whilst this goes on of course Kevin has a whale of a time inadvertently entering himself in Big Ben's Big Bean Challenge by breaking the record for eating a vast amount of beans in a short space of time. Having lost the girl once he holds onto the idea tight that the competition might actually show her that he can amount to something. Of course the reigning champion is not going to give up their title without a fight, especially when they could have passed for the spitting image of Helen Mirren, only with tattoos. The inspirational side of things comes to the fore when we're shown that playing a good clean game will always grant you respect whether you win or lose. Also the same ending. The films themselves were decently acted but the production values were mid-range; having their moments in terms of good crowd scenes and a well framed camera most of the time. I guess that's understandable given the rush to effectively make two films.
