Heartwarming coming of age movie about friendship between Catholic girls. Witty script with parts where I laughed out loud - when one of the girls mentioned Mad Cow's Disease was one. Its also got its poignant and touching parts too. Its quite a gem as its not very often when I come across movies like this - I am really so glad i did. I must say I have never seen any of these actresses act before, but they are all very good.
And a whip in the side of catholic school systems, the allmighty nuns, and a sprawling entertaining young choirgirls fantasies how the world of erotics and romantic functions.
The cast ensemble are deviously well chosen, the polarisation between the members of the crowd are just immense and the laughter and jokes flies like a spitfire doing the turmoil roll at full boost. They fit like a skiier in a condomsuit, and appears on the screen as if theyve been class mates for real...
the stashing, costumes, locations and production design arewell considered, the filmographic temperature and choice of dim colours makes this an open door back to the 90's. Soundtrack and quality of musical score is well chosen and executed, and when it comes to moral it gives the grumpy old man goosebumps all over my body. So let yourself be inspired of a gracious story about a crowd of young lassies from the scottish highlands entering the edinbourough castle and princess street with glitter, glamour and the voices of nightingales.
Its a recommend.

Chock full of cliches, but no worse for that, this coming of age movie follows five friends from Fort William over 24 hours as they venture to Edinburgh for a school choir competition and back home again. A few secrets are told, a few lessons are learned and a lot of laughs are had.
Wasn't sure what to expect... choir singing, a story about girls; but Scotland is always a great setting for a film and the Scottish accent is, for me, amazing.
The girls were superb in their acting and each role was played fantastically. The story was very good, very, very good in fact and it had funny moments and sad moments.
I highly recommend this film and i've given this a well-deserved 10 for acting, script, setting, filming, funny/sad bits, realism, and the 'impact' when the film ended.

Being Scottish, I had to see this movie. It was fun to watch and it was definitely a good date night. Definitely worth a watch.
