Life Is Sweet...Starring: Jane Horrocks, Jim and similar items

Director: Mike Leigh; List Price: $89.98; Format: VHS; Release Date: 1992; Rating: R; Length: 103 minutes. Condition: Good. Blockbuster PVT with usual stickers on tape and slip case. Has superficial knife "slices" on either spine of cover that are somewhat hard to find. Otherwise just some general shelfwear and slight fading, but overall cover still looks nice and tape plays well. Same cover design as that shown here. Movie Description: Director Mike Leigh escapes the confines of direct-to-television films with this incredibly bittersweet slice-of-life comedy about a blue-collar family living in modern-day England. Wendy (Alison Steadman) and Andy (Jim Broadbent) are a good-natured couple with two daughters, Nicola (Jane Horrocks) and Natalie (Claire Skinner). As different as two sisters could possibly be, Natalie is jovial and optimistic, while Nicola is a discontented cynic with contempt for everything she encounters. When Andy breaks his foot and strikes upon the idea to buy a hot dog van, Wendy is reminded of what she loves--and loathes--about her husband. Gradually, Nicola is revealed to have a potentially dangerous eating disorder, and by the time tensions between the sisters erupt, Wendy must gather all her strength to keep the family together.
