Based in Luton, perhaps, but plenty of Hollywood reality in this. Thatcher's Britain, British racism, cultural differences within communities etc etc all have been dealt with better in other films. Much of the cultural focus could have been cut and pasted from 'East is East'. The film is too long and contrived, with every point being made repeatedly and without subtlety.
However, the acting is good and if you are satisfied with a happy ending, this may be one to watch
