I just caught this little gem off HULU the other day, and it's a winner. I've always been a fan of Donal Logue, one of those actors who can be thrust into just about any film, contemporary or period piece, any genre, leading or supporting role, and can add something to the film. "Almost Heaven" is no exception.
Logue stars as a near-40 alcoholic filmmaker given one last shot- at directing a fishing TV show in Scotland hosted by his ex-wife, so he reluctantly travels there to try to make it work. Possible SPOILER- one thing I liked about the film was how the adversarial relationship between he and his ex-wife ultimately evolves into a partnership. I didn't see that coming at all. Also, some REALLY nice looking Scottish females in this. Tom Conti co-stars.
