    "funny-sad family portrait" is a good description in your review. I like Life is Sweet and I'll consider getting the new DVD! Most memorable to me is Jane Horrocks' sulking, and the restaurant opening you mention.

    PS Could I ask you to update your bloggroll? I've moved to Wordpress. The new link is ( http://moviesandsongs365.wordpress.com/ )

    Thanks, Chris. I enjoyed revisiting LIFE IS SWEET, and the new edition is worth getting for the extras.

    I hope you're doing well. Blog list now updated, thanks for the reminder.
