Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEasyjet Airlines did not pay a penny towards the production costs despite featuring prominently in one song and dance scene. They did however loan the production team one of their Airbus aircraft (that was in the hangar having an overhaul) free of charge for 48 hours for filming on condition that the livery was kept intact and not covered up or changed.
- GoofsThe beginning of the film takes place in 1993, when the schoolgirls are age 15/16 (and the same year Take That had their first number 1 UK single. The film was released in 2023. However the character of Rachel (Aisling Bea) refers to these events as being "25 years ago". So either the film is set in 2018 or the scriptwriters have lost five years somewhere in the mix.
Note: The original stage musical was written in 2017 so they are presumably using the same script (which would make the timeline correct).

Featured review
I would never review a movie I've not watched all the way through but my gosh this is a car crash of epic proportions. The cliched dance routines, how cheap it looks, the simply horrendous decision to cast this rather odd looking collection of boys to represent Take That. During the first musical number, Pray, you'll probably burst out laughing when the boys appear out of kitchen cupboards in the midst of a shouting match between two parents. Could it be magic is more could it be tragic, set during a market with various stall holders singing the lines until the boys pop out from behind WH Smith's to join in. Yes the movie clearly wants to say something important our childhood friends and the lead actress has plenty of energy and screen presence but it's all been done better before. After 25 minutes I'd suffered enough.
