Film recommendation: Crust

The 2001 movie Crust by writer/director Mark Locke is a charming adventure/comedy/drama involving a pub owner who buys a giant shrimp that has washed up on the English shoreline. When he finds he can teach it to box, he hits the road, touring the shrimp around trying to make a quid or two and become famous in the process. Yes, the shrimp is seven feet tall, so it packs a mightier punch than a two-inch crustacean. A must for boxing fans, crustacean fans, and those who love a tale of a publican searching for something more.
