Yeah the whole thing smells of a small screen project made big. I'd have to put a lot of blame for this kind of thing on East Is East as well, ever since that came out it seems the Brit film industry has switched its focus onto doing these kind of slightly grim up north but everyone's a cheeky chappy period dramadies which latch onto a theme.
On the plus side, if it does do well there might be a decent cash in documentary series made.
east is east is actually a decent, funny, movie... are there any copycats that i should bother checking for?

The short answer is no, not that I'm aware of. In East Is East's defense it is well done and it's not that film's fault that it spawned so many similar films. I also think East Is East harks back more to the kind of films that were being made in the early eighties about life in Britain at the time. Speaking of which, if you haven't seen Rita, Sue and Bob Too I would highly recommend checking it out.
