    Plot Synopsis:

    Twin Town has been dubbed 'the Welsh Trainspotting', but Kevin Allen, the director insists that the story is not Welsh, but universal. With it’s credentials of Danny Boyle and Andrew Macdonald as executive producers, big things were expected of this movie. But, in swapping the smack for glue and Glasgow for Swansea, something has been lost. Originality, coherence, burnout and plot, to name but four.

    Two nasty twin brothers, Julian and Jeremy Lewis (played by real-life siblings Rhys Ifans and Llyr Evans), spend most of their time in a drug-fuelled haze driving around the Welsh town of Swansea in stolen cars, while their sister Adie (Rachel Scorgie) works as a receptionist at an "exclusive gentleman's health spa". Their father, Fatty Lewis (Huw Ceredig) is a local handyman, and when employed by the town’s Mr Big, Bryn Cartwright (William Thomas), he unfortunately breaks a leg falling from a ladder and is hospitalised. The twins demand compensation from Cartwright for their father’s injuries, when he refuses their request with crass arrogance they vow to exact revenge. The feud escalates insanely with Cartwright employing two crooked cops (Dorien Thomas and Dougray Scott) onto the Lewis family. What follows is a few spots of karaoke with karaoke king Dai Rees (Brian Hibbard) who's having an affair with Cartwright’s daughter, some beheaded pooches, dubious drug deals and explosions, until everything is wound up in a less than satisfactory manner.


    The Cast:

    Rhys Ifans - Jeremy Lewis
    Llyr Ifans - Julian Lewis
    Dougray Scott - Terry Walsh
    Dorien Thomas - Greyo
    Buddug Williams - Mrs. Mort
    Ronnie Williams - Mr. Mort

    anyone else seen it, i think its great!! and Rhys Ifans has got to be the best thing to come out of wales (apart from me thats it) for a long long time

    He's a great actor and, for bonus points, he's good mates with one of my favourite bands so, yes, I would like to shake his hand... followed, perhaps, by some gentle-but-still-manly kissing.

    I can't believe no-one's mentioned 'Blazing Saddles' yet (I'll hold my hands up, I'm as guilty as anyone).

    I don't know exactly Cosmic. Even when I'm watching it I can tell it's not all that good. I don't really like the blonde Wilson(owen? shit i can't remember), but I thought he did a good job in the movie. Bill Murray, I will admit can do nearly no wrong in my books('cept that weird shitty movie he did in Japan). Dafoe was PERFECT.

    I guess, you know what, I LOVED Jacques Cousteau. This movie just totally captured what I thought being on Jacques' crew might be like(albeit characterized) . Plus it went over the top in just the right ways, I even love the corny ass cartoons.

    When I found out other people hated the movie, I just loved it more. Like a good indie band that just can't make it big and you kinda pray they don't, so you can keep it for yourself.
