Why the seagull follows the trawler

Looking for Eric

Crit

I'm gonna give Jennie Tonic the lead on this one, with me interspersed [in brackets]:

OK, I've made criticisms of other films that could fairly apply to this one [I'm guessing first on that list would be plot implausibility, and that's even if you stipulate the Play it Again, Sam-esque apparition of a hero-mentor], but I don't care [nor do I], because it is irresistible. [I had no plans to resist, and I didn't; whether I could have if I'd wanted to, I don't know. I certainly would have been powerless to resist Cantona himself.]

Well, not so much plot implausibility as a general too-easiness. Mais c'est vrai: No one forgets rock and roll.
