The Bromley Boys

This film tells the story of a young man who is obsessed with a local football club that isn't doing so well even in the non league.

It is interesting to see a socially inept young man getting up to all sorts of mischief. The plot is quite interesting, even to a non football fan. David and Ruby are both likeable characters. I enjoyed the film.

Saw this film at a special screening at Churchill Theatre Bromley. Although not packed out (due to very inclement weather that night) there was still a good crowd of varying ages. Really enjoyed this "feelgood" first romance story interwoven round the highs and lows of Bromley FC. Based on a true story, with great soundtrack weaving through the film, it was genuinely one of the best Sunday nights out I have had for years. The comedy was laugh out loud, the pathos had me reaching for a tissue...we wanted our boy to win...won't spoil your enjoyment by giving away any more of the plot... If you have ever stood on the terrace at your local football club, or supported your child at a school game, or cheered a friend playing at the local park then this film will transport you back...if you are a certain age and can remember the late sixties this film will transport you back to the fashion and feel of those years...if you ever wondered what your grandparents did back in their day...if you just want to see a funny, feel good movie - then search out a screening of The Bromley Boys for 90 minutes of great entertainment with no blood and guts, no high speed car chases, no nudity - just good old fashioned family entertainment. And if you're from Bromley... I was extra lucky - our screening even had people involved in making the movie on hand for Q + A session after the screening. Hope they do that when the film is released on DVD.

I have seen this much anticipated film twice now, both times at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley. A great, feel good Football Film (of which there aren't too many) To see a film all about my local football club who I have supported for a number of years (not quite as long as Dave though) is quite surreal, but having read the book, met and got to know Dave & Roy over the years and even had the chance of being in it (as a Bromley player, which I reluctantly had to turn down :-( it was a pleasure to see the finished production on the Big Screen. Which also included a number of other familiar faces that I have got to know during my time attending Hayes Lane & supporting Bromley Home & Away. Don't let the Non League aspect of it put you off, it's a film for the whole family and any Football loving supporter. Do go and see it if you get chance or buy the DVD when it comes out #WeAreBromley

A simple little British dramedy, benefiting from the feel-good factor and 'heart' displayed in one boy's devotion to his local football team. That boy is far from the most endearing character, but this is made up for by a lovable bunch of secondary characters.

Amusing without breaking the into any hugely funny moments, The Bromley Boys is a diluted British humour accessible to all audiences. A clear, low-stakes plot, as football fanaticism fuses with young romance in a familiar setting of a loner coming-of-age through the difficulties of their school and parents.

A great aesthetic of the 60s/70s which will instill pure nostalgia into certain generations, The Bromley Boys is an easy watch, unlikely to blow anyone away.

Anybody who has supported a football team at non league level will recognise the characters and the emotions shown in this film. I know as I have done it. Journey across London only to see my team loose 4-1. Another reviewer said this is a right of passage film. It isn't because there is no end to the journey.. You are stuck with your team for life.
