As a big fan of Leeds United, I should technically hate "Looking For Eric"...but I didn't.
Eric is an unhappy guy who's separated from his previous two marriages but been left with two knobhead teenagers from the second marriage who basically treat his house like crap. He's a miserable bugger and his workmates can't cheer him up. He then turns to Eric Cantona who appears to him in visions and offers up loads of advice to get his life back on track. He struggles with his life and keeps looking for ways in which to get back with the love of his life, his first wife.
The movie is set in Manchester and had many links into Scum United and also plenty of knocks to their club too (the scene where one of them is watching the Barcelona match in a FC United shirt is quality.)

Ken Loach directs the film brilliantly, giving it a gritty edge as well as a true comedic outlet too.
It's a really funny film. There's some quality lines in it. It's got that big fella in it who's in everything manchester related, ya know the one in the Post Office adverts who was also in Early Doors and other stuff like that...I really cannot remember his name!
Worth seeing, but will probably just have the same impact on DVD if you wanted to wait for that
