Certificate: 12A

Genre:

It all begins in 1980s Britain, when young Will Proudfoot, raised in isolation among The Brethren, a puritanical religious sect in which music and TV are strictly forbidden, encounters something beyond his wildest fantasies: a pirated copy of "Rambo: First Blood." His virgin viewing of the iconic thriller blows his mind--and rapidly expanding imagination--wide open. Now, Will sets out to join forces with the seemingly diabolical school bully, Lee Carter, to make their own action epic, devising wildly creative, on-the-fly stunts, not to mention equally elaborate schemes for creating a movie of total commitment and non-stop thrills while hiding out from The Brethren. But when school popularity finally descends on Will and Lee in the form of the super-cool French exchange student, Didier Revol, their remarkable new friendship and precious film are pushed, quite literally, to the breaking point.

    Not sure about this one. Found it a little bit headwrecking and thought it lost its way a bit. It comes good in the end for the two characters though. Ok if you have an empty hour-and-a-half to fill.

    Very strange film that I didn't really enjoy. The characters were too unusual for me and I was fairly disappointed.

    I had heard it was good and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Brilliant movie, the two kids were great, Poulter's Lee Carter was the best though. Really captured the 80s with the look and soundtrack. I love the DVD menu.

    Heartwarming, fresh and funny, a perfect little english coming of age tale.
