Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Ah, the tribulations and humiliations of the hormonal adolescent male! Especially when the light of your life catches you stealing a spent banana skin from her rubbish bin. There's nothing very original about this mainstream coming of age comedy - nothing indeed, that Bill Forsyth didn't do much better 20 years ago, albeit with fewer masturbation gags - but quite watchable all the same.Author: TCh
