在这部跑步起跳喜剧/短片片中,Five members of a busy East End family go about their hectic lives – selling second hand cars, driving cabs, helming exercise classes, lifeguarding, and generally rushing here, there, and everywhere – in Leigh’s cracking short film, which was made to tie in with the London 2012 Olympic Games. Sharp writing, appropriately intense pacing, bold scoring, and a number of excellent comic performances combine to decidedly delightful effect.
Incompetent car salesman Perry is desperate to get the money to release the car he hopes to sell to young Gary from the garage but his wife,fitness instructor Debbie is fed up with constantly bank-rolling him and he eventually has to sell Gary an inferior model in order to stump up the cash to pay the garage man. Just how inferior it is Gary discovers when the engine starts smoking and the car breaks down on the way home.
