PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

vlceptor Terrible, not funny, very boring movie. I understand it's an 80's movie, but that's no excuse for how crap this movie is. I managed to watch about 25 minutes, till I switched it off, I felt as if I had taken a double dose of Xanax.

Spikeopath Gregory's Girl is written and directed by Bill Forsyth. It stars John Gordon Sinclair, Dee Hepburn and Clare Grogan. Music is scored by Colin Tully and cinematography by Michael Coulter.The perils of school day love get the once over by Forsyth in a film that oozes simplicity of charm and understated warmth. Plot focuses on gawky teenager Gregory (J G Sinclair) who becomes infatuated by the latest addition to the school's football team, Dorothy! (Hepburn). As imbalanced hormones rage and awkwardness takes a hold, Gregory lunges from one sequence to another not getting any help from his equally awkward pals. Everyone, it seems, has their own quirky issues, while Forsyth drops in some delightfully off kilter touches to further emphasise the roller coaster ride of puppy love.Performances are nailed on perfect. Sinclair proves adroit at physical comedy, his portrayal of shyness and yearning a real treat. Hepburn is deliberately coy as Dorothy, her athleticism to be applauded, and future Altered Images popstrel Grogan leaves a telling mark as the sexy joker in the pack. But it's Allison Forster as Gregory's kid sister Madeline who really is the surprise, precocious and deftly etched into the narrative, it's a key girl role that in young Foster's hands bridges the link between Gregory's emotional chaos and mental happiness.Irresistible and enchanting movie. 8/10

Marmadukebagelhole I can't add much to the great comments already on here and I will not bore you with anecdotes about growing up in Cumbernauld. What I will say though is that as a teenager, on the first couple of viewings, I lost interest after Carol turns up instead of Dorothy to tell Gregory she's not coming. I was not happy. I thought, "How could she do that to Gregory/me?" I could not enjoy the rest of the movie and could not care less that Gregory got to parade around with 3 other cute lassies.. I guess though that says more about me at that time than anything else.I'm much better now.Gregory and Susan for ever.Magic

davidjanmellinger I love this movie, and in re-watching it again I was impressed by Allison Forster's performance as Madeline. However, in looking on the internet, this appears to be her only work. Does anyone know what became of her? I would have hoped that someone that talented would have moved on, but I found nothing. This movie is a gem. I try to watch it once a year because it brings back long-forgotten memories of what it was like to ask for your first date, the awkwardness of the first kiss, and the whole new dimension of relating to the opposite sex. Thanks for any information you have on Allison, if only I had had a sister like that... davidjanmellinger@yahoo.com
