Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed in 2008.
- GoofsAbout an hour into the film, Alfie Allen orders a drink in the pub by saying "can I get a bottle please?".
"Can I get..." is an Americanism that has only crept into the UK some time in the last 10 years and definitely would never have been used in the 70s.

Featured review
Mostly mediocre
"SoulBoy" has as its background the Northern Soul scene of the 1970's. It's a dim little picture only partly redeemed by the charismatic presence of the immensely likable Martin Compston and some very decent tunes. As a 'period' picture it's totally manufactured, all the costumes and props looking like they came out of a retro charity shop. It just about passes the time but you can tell there is a much better film lurking in the background trying to get out. It's like a British attempt to resurrect something like "Saturday Night Fever" or "Footloose" and that's where it fails miserably. This is one film unlikely to see the light of day anytime in the future.
