This was a labour of love by all involved. Although the plot is far fetched, but who hasn't seen Rocky and not said "As if...!", everyone involved put their heart and soul into the project. Lampooning sports documentaries, this gem was hard to find, and has been the subject of a quest after I happened upon the movie while online. It disappeared as curiously as it was found and searches continually came up empty. Thankfully though the beast was captured today. British acting regulars, boxing stars and a well written script of the clash innocence against the world arena add up to a delightfully funny movie. Orlando Bloom is a great lead as the Milkman with a Fist and is so down to earth and friendly in the role that I had to wonder if it wasn't the real Bloom I was watching. Time well spent. Extras include Frank Bruno doing a cracking Chris Eubank impersonation. Just wish I had found it sooner.Read full review

He doesn't just beat his opponents, he creams them! Young milkman and amateur boxer 'Calcium Kid' Jimmy (Bloom) is just as stunned as the rest of the boxing world when, through an unusual (to say the least) sequence of events, he's offered the opportunity to fight the world champion in his home town. Jimmy's got a lotta bottle and he's going to need it too!
Bloom plays the fantastic milkman who turns proffesional boxer. A real feel good film with comedy. Omid Djalili plays the fantastic coach and the bloopers are hilarious! A must see!
This is a fun filled British movie, with hilarious moments that had the whole family in stitches! Reviews on the movie over the internet have been quite harsh as for a low budget British movie, it is hilarious. It's got a huge star Orlando Bloom in it aswell! I reccommend this to anyone who loves British film!
GREAT DVD, GOOD INTERESTING FILM THAT IS SUITABLE TO MANY TASTES AS MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING IT AS WELL
