Rita, Sue and Bob Too

A realistic portrayal of working-class life in Yorkshire. A married man has an affair with two schoolgirls. By turns serious and lighthearted. Andrea Dunbar adapted two of her own controversial plays into Rita, Sue, and Bob Too. Rita (Siobhan Finneran) and Sue (Michelle Holmes) are two adolescents who share a babysitting job for Bob (George Costigan) and Michelle's (Lesley Sharp) children on a run-down council estate in Bradford. Bob decides to take Rita and Sue up to a remote country side area while giving them a ride home one night. Rita and Sue, who clearly understand what he wants, are more than willing to comply, and both have a sexual contact with him that becomes a regular event. Despite the film's blatantly politically wrong character, it emerges as a somewhat divisive, enduringly humorous comedy with a biting, gritty undertone.
