Boston Kickout

Good film about unemployment & life in Stevenage, great cast as well A+A+

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 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 film about stevenage starring a load of not so bright young things from English terrestrial TV. The plot storyline and characters have no believability or consistency about them which culminates in dire tedium for the viewer. The film desperately tries to be different but once again just ends up like every other new fresh British movie: "feels like its being inventive" about everyday life while it misses the minutae of what make English life so fascinating. In summary the film is a steaming pile of chud and i would recommend everyone to avoid it unless you truly believe the film ID broke new boundaries for British cinema.

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.
