well worth the effort - By: Mr. D. F. Green, 19 Feb 2006
Loch Ness- no guessing what its about!
And yet, this is another film that I keep re-watching- there is a delightful sense of tongue in cheek about this, the story is of the classic myth- the ancient sea creature alive in Loch Ness- & yet it has an innocent charm that you just wish could be true.
I like this sort of film. Think lots of us do, if we could just be more truthful. A 4 star film- not quite excellent, but very good al;l the same.
Cheers Barman "Sam" becomes Local Hero - By: , 22 Feb 2005
I used to have a video of this as I always loved Ted Danson in Cheers & I'm Scottish - so despite the mixed reviews I wanted a copy. Oh & it was cheap.

Like the Monster of the Loch this film is a wonderful secret. It's not Lawrence of Arabia but it is a gentle comedy which stirs the emotions. A wonderful cast, terrific use of location (Scotch Mist not sunny beaches), great script & a stirring finale. If you like Cheers & Local Hero then this is your film. If you have children aged between five & ten then this is ideal Rainy Sunday entertainment.

Similar to another lost classic, Fairytale, about the Yorkshire girls who photographed Fairies. That had Harvey Keitel & Peter O Toole & still went missing. I'm so pleased this is being released so I can show my seven year old daughter that Scotland is the land of monsters as well as Peter Pan (Finding Neverland) Treasure Island (Disney et al) as well as Harry Potter. I'll wait a few years before I tell her about Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde
