Sexy new Brit rom-com that is both laugh-out-loud and heart-warming making it the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day.
Do you trust your partner? Can you really trust them? What if you could really make sure?
Jack and his mates can arrange for some certainty in your life. For a small fee they will test your partner and let you see the results. They're really good at what they do. They've turned their lives around with this business. Jack's got money and the girl he always dreamed of. And only a few people's lives are destroyed in the process…
Who are the real HEROES AND VILLAINS?
One Vision Films proudly presents HEROES AND VILLAINS, the rib tickling new romantic comedy and directorial debut of BAFTA winning producer* Selwyn Roberts. The film also marks the debut of writer and star David Raymond and features a young, critically acclaimed cast who are being hailed as "The next generation of British talent!"**
Supported by a sensational hot young Brit cast of new and upcoming stars who all deliver brilliant performances, Raymond plays Jack, a London lad facing a crisis of confidence. While working as a lowly city estate agent, he cannot believe this is all his life will ever be. He begins to fight the relentless everyday doldrums and dreams of bigger and better things.
So when his flatmate Sam (James Corden – History Boys, Starter For Ten) catches his girlfriend out attempting infidelity, Jack is inspired with a shrewd business opportunity - together with his quirky flatmates, Jack starts a company designed to help doubting partners put their lovers’ loyalty to the test once and for all.
Although it has its obvious negative consequences, and some seriously dubious ethics, the relationship wrecking business turns out to be a roaring success. But Jack and his team plough on, thrilled with their new-found lifestyle and sure they are doing the world a favour sorting out the heroes from the villains in each and every relationship they can lay their hands on.
While Jack’s friends become increasingly concerned by the moral downsides of their thriving company, Jack thinks he has finally found the woman of his dreams and sees his new found success as a brilliant way to impress her and win her heart, with hilarious results! But will the whole plan backfire and see him lose it all? It turns out that maybe it’s not as easy to sort out who the HEROES AND VILLAINS are after all…
Packed with laughs and heart-felt trials and tribulations that is the world of love and romance, HEROES AND VILLAINS is great DVD entertainment and the perfect gift for him or her this Valentine’s Day. With an RRP of just £9.99 this is a great new comedy at a great price. A real gem that is yours to own or rent or give as a gift to the Hero or Heroine in your life from Monday 11th February 2008.
