Boston Kickout

I suppose it showed promise but failed to deliver. A disjointed story of life in an English 'new town'.

It couldn't decide whether it wanted to be Trainspotting or Grange Hill and it ended up being neither. Too many loose beginnings, middles and ends and you end up not caring about any of it.

The only redeeming feature was the lovely Shona who it would have been better to see more of.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Trainspotting. It's a drama about a group of friends who have reached a focal point in their education and wonder what is it they want from their life, friends and their town.

Trainspotting is an anti drugs related film. This film contains no drugs if memory serves me right. Habitants of similar sized and socially unactive towns should be able to relate to parts of the film.

The film isn't one of the greatest made, but it's got some great lines, great moments and some great cinematography

I enjoyed this film, which is restrained in comparison to the similar but overrated Trainspotting. Well acted, it's low budget protects it from smackhead chic. There is something wrong with the plot in the middle, and the themes are unremittingly grim, but it is funny and has considerable charm. The whole cinema enjoyed it, but there were only five of us.

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.
