Musical featuring the songs of the band Take That. Nurse Rachel (Aisling Bea) wins tickets for her and friends to see Take That in Athens, a band her and her friends had seen and loved fanatically in their school years. She has not seen them though for 25 years - will things go to plan.
Whilst this was made with a limited budget (apparently Take That were never big in the US and so no money from there was forthcoming) and inevitably contains its fair share of tears and sugar, it's actually a lot better than I was expecting. Take That's music lends itself to this type of thing and although the cover group leap around too much for my tastes, the numbers are well done, particularly 'Back for Good'. The cast are pretty good, notably Bea and Lara McDonnell as the young Rachel and overall it's far more fun than a lot of bigger budget things like this.
