Gregory's Girl (1980)
Member Rating:  
The sophomore film of Scottish director Bill Forsyth was his first international hit, a typically quirky comedy set amongst colorful Scottish teenagers. Gregory (John Gordon Sinclair) is a normal, gangly, hormonally-challenged student who, like his pals, has begun to discover the charms of the opposite sex, particularly those of Dorothy (Dee Hepburn), the new girl in school and a talented soccer player. Dorothy joins the team, and Gregory instantly becomes smitten with her. Gregory's affections are a given in spite of the fact that Dorothy is a better player than most of the boys on the hapless team, and her presence inspires a great deal of angst and embarrassment. Gregory is prepared to go to humiliating lengths in order to win Dorothy's attention, but it doesn't quite work out as he anticipates. The winner of a BAFTA Award for Best Screenplay, Gregory's Girl was followed 18 years later by a sequel, Gregory's Two Girls (1999). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

My sons, aged 12 and 15 watched the whole film with my wife and I and two other of their buds. If they don't like a film, they leave, but they watched and laughed all the way through. The dated look (hairstyles and clothing) just added to the hilarity. The guys in the film are so awkward and pitiful, it will make any teen viewer feel that he's pretty cool by comparison. BTW, the opening scene with exposed breasts was the only "racy" part.

This funny Brit coming of age story reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite. Typical British humor was not overly sophomoric. A little dated (1980) but a fun to watch flick.

Brit coming-of-age flick, much more subtle than obnoxious American Pie movies. Nice for young and old adults alike. Pleasant happy movie for all ages.
