After long illness, Nigel's (Steven Jobson) mum (Beverly Jacques) sees her end in grasping distance - but she won't pass on before making Nigel to promise her on her deathbed to look for a wife. Now Nigel has spent his last few years taking care of his mother, and he doesn't really know how to even talk to women, let alone date them, and after his uncle Bob (Keith Nahon) leads him down a porn rabbit hole that does more harm than good, Nigel decides to try a dating app, - after all, what could go wrong? The long and short answer to this: Everything! But sometimes love can be found where one least expects it ...

Nigel is above all else good fun of course with its combination of exaggerations, punchlines, sight gags and slapstick, but at the same time this is a film that has lots of heart, thanks to a well-written central character brought to life by Steven Jobson's very relatable performance, a performance that really grounds the often crazy on-screen goings-on. And a directorial effort that balances out nonsense and the film's quieter notes only helps making making this a very entertaining little comedy.
