Trivia
This original version of "The Young Offenders" is actually set in a "flashback" version of 2007, although both Jock and Conor are 15. The same entire set of characters, with new additions, would re-appear in the TV series version of the BBC Three/RTE/Vico Film re-boot, but some of their personalities, circumstances and situations would be slightly revised, and re-used.

Goofs
In the last scene in police station there is a calendar saying July 2015, but this movie is set on true events in 2007.

Quotes
Conor: There are two things you need for an adventure, a treasure map and someone dumb enough to go with you.

Crazy credits
In the start of the movie when Conor said some "dickhead" on a roof dropped a hammer on his dads head, at the credits he is listed down as "dickhead on the roof"

All Round Well Done Comedy

Alex Murphy and Chris Walley play two of the most endearing characters I've ever seen, sure they are misguided but they are also incredibly sweet. The film shows what life is like for single parents, people who are living in difficult circumstances, abusive parents. Quite dark subject matter, but the film had me laughing consistently throughout.

I loved Dominic MacHale as the pseudo villain, and without giving any spoilers his "redemption" is lovely. The story is silly, but reportedly based on real events which is interesting. Hilary Rose as Conor's mother is fantastic. For what was, I'm assuming a very low budget, it is technically well made and nicely shot.

Just an all round well done comedy.
