Faintheart

Vito Rocco, Director

2009 | 91 | Feature

Middle-aged sales assistant Richard (Eddie Marsan) comes alive on weekends when he dons Viking regalia and joins fellow battle re-enactors on Britain's verdant fields. However, when Richard is banished from the house for missing his father-in-law's funeral - and wife Cath (Jessica Hynes) starts dating his son's hunky phys-ed teacher - it's time for the weekend warrior to fight for his maiden. Vito Rocco's cheerful and winning romantic comedy was created in part by an online community which voted on story ideas and recruited cast members.
