Imperfect, but endearing. 'Rye Lane' certainly ends up having some charm to it and is fairly amusing in parts as well. I wouldn't say it's anything above good, the acting and dialogue particularly feel iffy, but all in all it does the job and is competently made. David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah are likeable and work as a two onscreen. All things considered, it's a worthy watch. There are a couple of good cameos scattered in there too.
