This Ken Loach film tells the story of a man devoted to his family and his religion. Proud, though poor, Bob wants his little girl to have a beautiful (and costly) brand-new dress for her First Communion. His stubbornness and determination get him into trouble as he turns to more and more questionable measures, in his desperation to raise the needed money. This tragic flaw leads him to risk all that he loves and values, his beloved family, indeed even his immortal soul and salvation.... (imdb)

Loach knows how to mix his depressing plot with some realistic humor, cause real people aren't just all doom and gloom but mostly go joking about their days to forget their sorrows. The plot ends up being surprisingly suspenseful and touching at the end

Bob is head-smackingly stupid, but will some sort of special providence pull him out of the shit he gets in, because after all he's just a working-class joe and deserves a break? No, really, that's "Raining Stones". It's Ken Loach. And it's really well made.

Loach is once again great on working class conditions, but the ending was a bit rush and cut down to a bit wishful and in some way 'flawed' logical point

Fair dramedy soured a bit for me by it's religious sympathies.
