Going to be a classic

Even if you were not around in the 80's you will love this film. There's some great acting and laugh out loud moments, (the punchbag scene). The actors are tremendous and the writing has the phrases at that time down to a tee. Music sets the time and scene wonderfully. Not the usual 80's track list but a real music from the time. It's set in Bristol but will be familiar to anyone who was brought up in a similar area with similar issues. Motorbikes were all the thing at that time and you hadn't lived until you owned one yourself. The helmets were all AGV types and all the small touches like that in this film made it all the more believable. I feel like you want to see more about these young people and how life pans out.

A film I would recommend to watch more than once. Even though some bits are sad it comes over as a feelgood film and I'm sure one to be looked back on with fondness when the actors make films in the future.

Someone reviewed saying 'clichéd' but of course! It's set ion the 80's, one massive cliché that we all love.

A nice tale of one family set around the times in a really well done and not over the top production. A nice change from CGI.
