    One to watch

    Very entertaining, light hearted movie. Go back in time to the 80's, when social media didn't exist, sit back and enjoy the movie. Well worth the watch.

    DONT MISS THIS MOVIE

    Looking for an enjoyable night at the movies. Well don't miss this one so. A blast from the past, set in the 80's with all its style and humour, not to mention the hairstyles. A coming of age/ love story in the pre social media age, where the awkward moments in life were all played out face to face. Great cast and Director.

    Loved this movie

    I watched this movie last year at the premiere, absolutely loved it. It was charming, funny, great sound track and the actors had great chemistry together.

    light entertainment, for all the family

    A lot of people gave this romantic/unconventional/family film low scores on the reviews and that's part of the appeal, that's what got me to watch it. Not everyone who watches will take a few minuets to throw down a few words but haters will always find issues with things, regardless of quality. I enjoyed the simplistic viewing and in particular the quirkiness and awkwardness of the characters. It's this strangeness that has its appeal.

    Im not sure what people were expecting though. For me It's a simple, enjoyable feel good movie for all. It's not trying to recreate the wheel. Kick back with your favourite brew to hand, watch Danny on his adolescent journey to becoming a man/women/binary option or what ever he decides (can't give anything away).

    For a mostly unknown cast and crew it wasn't without its charm, oh wait, his mammy and a few others are known on the Irish circuit. Give it watch and support the Irish film industry.
