Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review A slight but likable British comedy-fantasy with a touch of naughtiness, iCashback/i is an expanded version of director Sean Ellis' Oscar-nominated short film of the same name about a bored supermarket clerk who discovers that he has the ability to stop time. Sean Biggerstaff (from the iHarry Potter/i franchise) is Ben, a lovelorn young man whose chronic insomnia (due to a bad breakup) forces him to bury himself in pointless and repetitive work at a local grocery store. Once there, boredom causes him to believe that he can stop time, and he enjoys long and languid fantasies about undressing and sketching the female shoppers. But reality intrudes in the form of recollections of his troubled past, as well as the lovely presence of fellow clerk Sharon (Emilia Fox), who offers the promise of love in the real world. A gentle and artfully directed independent film, iCashback/i doesn't run very deep in terms of emotion, but the special effects are clever, the cast quirky and amusing, and its premise is an appealing mix of softcore reverie and boyish longing. --iPaul Gaita/i

It did remind me of Clerks vaguely. But I thought overall that it was a witty, thoughtful, original and interesting story. br / br /It is really hard to talk about this film and recommend it to people when you describe the main character can freeze time and when he does this he undressed and then draws the female customers of his supermarket, plus gets revenge on his night manager. But despite this dodgy sounding idea it works, and is hugely enjoyable. Check out the great Cashback film website too. br / br /Watch and enjoy Honestly, I rented it for the wrong reasons... August 19, 2009 R. Barrow 3 out of 3 found this review helpful If I'm to be honest, I actually rented Cashback because I saw some nudity on the cover, and thought I'd get a bit of titillation out of it. br / br /But instead what I got was a beautiful film that literally made me weep because of how lovely the storyline and composition of the actual film was. I didn't get what I wanted, but got a lot more than I had hoped. Something that reminded me of how much beauty there is in this world, and how easy it is to let it all slip by unnoticed. br / br /Don't get it for titillation...you'll be disappointed...but if you want something uplifting and beautiful, watch it! a great old fashioned romantic comedy - charming! September 16, 2008 film lover (uk) 8 out of 10 found this review helpful ok i have reason to be biased.. i fell in love with the script of this move over 4 years ago. why aren't more movies made like this anymore? movies which make you feel good, movies which make you appreciate the world around you and the people you love? br / br /well.. for those who dislike the nudity, thought it was perverted or plot-less.. sorry but i disagree.. anyone that doesn't go for the alien vs predator 5 movie genre will enjoy this.. so please, enjoy at your leisure br / br / imagination, dreams, romance, fantasy - this is what movies are all about Really beautiful film January 6, 2009 R. Jones (UK) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful This is a bit of a Marmite movie (you'll love it or you'll hate it); reviews on Amazon and elsewhere on the web have been very mixed which won't help anyone making a purchasing choice. The film is sexy, funny, and sensitive without being pretentious. Personally I found this movie completely spellbinding and unexpected. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be (the box art does advertise a rude comedy and I almost expected a modern "Carry On" type movie). However rather than sitting down to watch the comic capers of a young freshly-dumped student who can freeze time to undress female shoppers, I was treated to a massively fulfilling piece of work in which the nudity is artistic and expressive, and the romantic comedy is a cut above any of the normal Hollywood drivel we get subjected to. This is a brilliant British movie but it won't suit all tastes. Rent it first. Escapism at its best January 15, 2009 lameduck (darlington) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful I picked this movie because I am an insomniac, my better half works nights for a supermarket and I have had a crush on Emilia Fox for ages. What a wonderful film, beautifully shot and a great 90 mins of sit back and relax. br / br /If only I could find some of the local clientelle frequenting my local supermarket (although I think my dearest would have something to say about it) br / br /Definately recommend for anyone who's ever had a job where time just seems to slow down to a crawl Showing reviews 1-5 of 19 1 2 3 4 Next »
