Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but a real journey of a film.
Following 3 young boys as they strive towards different things in a town that seems to offer them nothing.
Great footage of Greenock, showing lots of familiar locales, (shot many years before 'Sweet Sixteen' by Ken Loach)and some hilarious classroom scenes pitting pupils against the teachers.
Great acting, fantastic dialogue and lovable characters, it would be difficult not to like this (TV) film, regardless of bleak undertones and depressing feeling in some scenes.
A few familiar faces, such as Paul Young and Alex Norton.
A must see for all, especially those with a fondness for Greenock.
It's a real shame there is no sign of a DVD release.
