From a male POV, a lot of us , in our youth, have met a wild and free woman we fall for, and we think has fallen for us. Truth is usually she's living in the moment while you're wondering how to keep up and keep her.

The final makes all the movie. They are so pretty together.

Very enjoyable, funny film . Alexander Perkins plays the lead very naturally, and is funny, touching and believable. In fact both lead parts work very well together. A tale for those of us bogged down by the boring routine of everyday life . Very enjoyable .

Happy Birthday, Toby Simpson is an independent British film shot on a micro budget. It is a labour of love for writer and director Patrick Makin who has made his film debut here. Much of the filming took place in Bristol. Toby (Alexander Perkins) is making a journey of self discovery. His boss at work is awful, he is late to pick up his needy girlfriend at the airport, his dad is pestering him about a promotion at work and it is his birthday. On his way to the airport, he ends up in a bus, gets talking to a girl Renata (Edyta Budnik) an aromatherapist who is on her way to a music festival. Toby joins her because a man in a purple hat seems to have stolen his watch, wallet and mobile phone and he needs to get it back. Toby starts off in a suit and tie but with Renata, he becomes looser and his artistic side comes out. Toby is a natural artist. He also tries juggling and eats hash brownies. Slowly he falls for Renata. This is sweet simple film. The two leads have a good chemistry, it feels rather natural although the appraisal meeting with his boss was rather contrived. However it is Toby having a walk on the mild side rather than the wild side.

I really enjoyed this film. It gives you a sense of the possibilities of changing your life around over the course of a weekend and the actors are very engaging. The ending is very surprising!!

Half of charme of its seduction force is represented by the frustrations of the viewer, not so different by Toby Simpson. Half is represented by the well craft of director, actors and atmosphere of festival.Having a high contribution , the conversion of an aromatherapist of an ordinary guy is just nice. A significant contribution , sure, has the status of crazy/imposible dream of story, the dialogue, the poetry are just useful. A charming reminding about dreams and plans and freedom of youth in precise manner.

Loved it. Great idea to locate a romcom in a music festival. Amazing music, charming script and very English. Well acted. Definitely worth a watch.

..from the opening scenes this utterly charming and very funny film keeps you smiling and wondering well after it finishes. It reflects the daily struggles that face us all and the decisions we never make, mixed with a great sound track - this is a gem of a film among a forest of mediocrity!

This is a real gem of a film, a delightful late coming of age love story which also confronts issues of honesty, free will and self-belief. Alexander Perkins and Edyta Budnik play off each other wonderfully as their tender love affair flourishes against the backdrop of a music festival. Humorous throughout, there are also several laugh out loud moments as Toby Simpson's conventional shell melts away. And what a brilliant soundtrack! The film is well worth watching as a fine example of great British comedy.

I loved this film. It was beautifully made and transported you into that moment in time. The lead characters had a natural chemistry which carried you with them throughout the quirky, funny, sad roller-coaster of a week-end. It was utterly charming and very convincing. I wanted it to never end and can't wait to see it again for the music as well as everything else which enhanced the emotion and flow of every scene. Amazing
