A film about stevenage starring a load of not so bright young things from English terrestrial TV. The plot storyline and characters have no believability or consistency about them which culminates in dire tedium for the viewer. The film desperately tries to be different but once again just ends up like every other new fresh British movie: "feels like its being inventive" about everyday life while it misses the minutae of what make English life so fascinating. In summary the film is a steaming pile of chud and i would recommend everyone to avoid it unless you truly believe the film ID broke new boundaries for British cinema.

I loved this film. It's deeply touching and very funny. This is one of very few accurate portrayals of what life is like growing up in suburban Britain where underneath a seemingly bland surface lies boredom, violence, madness and the redemptive beauty and intensity of human relationships. Cracking pace, lots of energy, and deeply satisfying.

A Boston Kickout is the act of vandalizing the neighorhood yards, uprooting plants and trampling gardens. It's behavior that a group of middle-class wannabe bad lads in a culturally bleak new town outside of London continue more from habit than conviction as they confront life after high school. What begins as a fast paced albeit low budget buddy movie becomes a more intelligent coming of age story with the appearance of Emer McCourt as the Irish lass who wants to have fun. Seems the answer to the main character's problem was to get laid - which was my theory when I was his age.

I live 3 miles from where it was set in Stevenage. So you think I would like it just for that reason. Wrong, I did not like it one bit. It's like their football team. It's very Similar to Trainspotting but a much lower budget.
