The Big One

"Life is like a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs."

So says Tom Grey, a man who has been on a down for as long as he cares, or dares, to remember. But as his 50th birthday fast approaches, he decides it is time to experience an up again, to feel like he is living, not existing; to make a memory.

The feel-good factor rides high in this gentle, young-at-heart comedy about the misadventures of four friends who embark on day trip from Weston-super-Mare to Blackpool in the hope of recapturing their lost youth at the top of one of Europe's biggest rollercoaster rides.
