Unconventional youth comedy

I'm tired of the clichéd youth movies in Hollywood. Suddenly a British youth comedy comes out. It feels very refreshing. Although it doesn't have the ups and downs of Hollywood plots, the background of the story is a small British town in the 1970s. It's very comfortable.
The whole process of the movie is relatively bland, and the ending is very satisfactory. The three male protagonists have found their own way. Bruce finally understands that his mother's departure was not because of his father's weakness, but because his father was not hurt. In desperation, he finally chose to stay in his hometown and be with his father; Freddie also understood that wealth cannot replace the happiness in life, and finally went on a trip with his beloved girl; Snooker also found a true understanding and love her girl.
This movie doesn't have any sensational scenes, but it is comfortable and natural to watch. It's just that simple. Maybe this is its greatest charm.

    There's an ancient Arab proverb that says: "Throw your heart out in front of you and run ahead to catch it."

    The story of the hero and heroine is a bit cliché; Tom's father and son story made me cry; if you only have 70 points, don't try to find an 80 point; the wife in Ralph's play played the blind girl that Ralph likes in Red Dragon! ! ;The director also knows that Tom hughes is the most fanciful, so he put this male second in the middle of the poster. XD;

    Freddie Taylor: That's disgusting!

    Bruce Pearson: [to Snork] Not allowed to fart on him now that he doesn't work in a factory?

  • Julie: There's this ancient Arab proverb that says...

    Freddie Taylor: [interrupting] Whoah... there's an ancient Arab proverb? My, you've changed.

    Julie: Listen, it's sweet. It says: "throw your heart out in front of you and run ahead to catch it." Whatever you desire, imagine it's in front of you right now and just grab it.
