186.0. "Leon the Pig Farmer" by 42712::DUTTONS (DUTTONS) Thu May 13 1993 06:22
A romantic, likeable fable full of daft Jewish jokes - although, as one
review said, "not as funny as it thinks it is".
Made, incidentally, on a budget of �160,000; those involved apparently
agreed not to charge for their services until the film goes into profit
- which gives you some idea of the state of the British film industry.
<minor spoiler follows>
Leon (North London Jewish boy) finds out he was born as a result of
artificial insemnation - turns out the doctor mixed up the test tubes
and his real dad is a Yorkshire pig farmer. Adventures, culture clash
and love interests ensue.
My only dislike was for Leon's boring fianc�e.
