Life Is Sweet - 1990 - 6/10

Lo, the pipedreams of the common lot.
Andy, restaurant cook, buys a beat up caravan, hoping to turn it into a gourmet wagon on wheels.
Meanwhile, best mate Aubrey opens a cafe tribute to Edith Piaf, Regret Rien.
Add two dysfunctional teenage daughters, and a chuckling Fate.
Understated comedy (British) scores in one amusing or inept situation after another.
Because this is a Mike Leigh film, I was bracing for a message theme.
Marvelous gem of hope amidst Life’s weeds.
