Valentine’s Day comes every year, but the dilemma remains… what to do? Skip the expensive night out and plan the perfect night in with LOVE BIRDS and YOU INSTEAD, as these two romantic comedies come to DVD on 23 January, from Icon Home Entertainment.
Sometimes the best things in life happen on the fly…
From the moment an injured duck crash-lands on his roof, everything changes for Doug (Rhys Darby, Arthur Christmas, Flight of the Concord,). His is an ordinary guy who has never left New Zealand and whose long-term girlfriend has just left him. Dumped and wallowing in self pity, Doug’s luck takes a turn for the better when he is entrusted to look after the sick bird and nurse it back to health.
With help from an eccentric vet, Dr. Buster (Bryan Brown, Australia, Cocktail) and a reluctant bird specialist, Holly, played by Golden Globe® winner Sally Hawkins (Jane Eyre, Happy-Go-Lucky), Doug discovers a new-found motivation and the belief in himself to finally allow true love to blossom. But just as Doug thinks he is back on track, the path of romance does not appear so easy. When his ex tries to come back into his life Doug must learn a valuable lesson but is it enough for him to follow his heart…
YOU INSTEAD is a free-wheeling, rock ‘n’ roll romcom set against an unforgettable weekend at a music festival – filled with lust, mud, betrayal, portaloos and a hundred thousand people partying to the greatest music in the world.
Directed by the BAFTA®-nominated David Mackenzie (Young Adam, Hallam Foe), YOU INSTEAD tells the story of Adam, played by Luke Treadaway (Clash of the Titans, Brothers of the Head); a strutting indie star and one half of a globally successful band. Arriving at the T in the Park festival for his latest gig, Adam finds himself accidentally handcuffed to Morello, played by Natalia Tena (Mrs. Henderson Presents, Harry Potter); lead singer for all girl punk band The Dirty Pinks. With no key in sight the feuding pair have to get through 24 hours as best as they can, delivering not one but two performances while having to placate a jealous girlfriend, an angry boyfriend and a lunatic manager. This is one weekend they will never forget!
Whether you think it’s the most romantic day of the year, or an excuse to eat lots of chocolate, Icon Home Entertainment brings you two perfect DVD’s that’s guaranteed to keep you company this Valentine’s.
