Things To Do Before You’re 30 (2004) 6/10

Starring : Dougray Scott, Jimi Mistry, Emilia Fox, Shaun Parkes, Billie Piper
Director : Simon Shore
Running Time : 97 mins

A group of twenty-somethings, who all know each other through their Sunday afternoon football team, realise how close they are to thirty and write up lists of things they’d like to do before then. When their long time football couch dies, some of them realise how short life is and look at the mistakes and decisions they have made and try to wither rectify them or end up making things worse.

This has that distinct British feel to it of taking a large group of people and examining their lives in relation to a universal connection. The movie itself isn’t that bad and has some pretty funny situations, but more than anything this is a drama which takes the problems of all of the characters and either fixes them or makes them ten times worse.
