The strength of this agreeable comedy, directed by Simon Shore from a screenplay by Patrick Wilde, is that it makes even the tiniest sexual encounters seem emotionally momentous.

Fresh, funny and thoroughly engaging.

An issue movie, a comedy, and a love story, this is pretty good at being all three.

The film is grounded in genuine emotions and its knowing humour serves it well. I laughed like a drain.

The movie bravely goes where too many other films have gone before.

Nov 18, 2008This is a coming of age and coming out story, even though it is set in the U.K., is still close to something I relate to. Well written and acted. There is no drama for drama sake. Very accurate for real life gay teen experience - even down to the chubby friend-girl! I even thing from the point of the parents is well told. Great movie, a lot of fun and very lovable characters!Thomas J Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2008I liked it. Good acting. Very real, characters were good. I liked seeing the development of the main character. His emotions were raw and so true. Loved his speech near the end. I think it is probably a very real representation of what its like being a gay teen (although I cannot completly guarentee that, considering I dont personally know the feeling.).Sarah .

Get Real Quotes
| Kevin: | Oye, Carter! Not exactly an oil painting is she? |
| Linda: | No, she's cuddly. And until a few seconds ago, you assumed that because I'm a fat girl and instead of some slim oil painting that I'd be gagging for a quick on in the doorways of Toys R Us. I can just imagine sex with you. Pathetic fumbling to find the bra strap, the slobbery kisses, belching into some poor girl's mouth because you've had too much chile sauce on your kabob. And then the main event, which is either over in seconds or not at all because you're too fuckin pissed. |
| Linda: | He's sex on legs. |
| Jessica: | Which piece are you learning? |
| Wendy: | Romeo, Romeo. Cover me in honey and suck it off with a straw. |
| Jessica: | What? |
| Wendy: | [Looking at John Dixon] God, he's perfect. |
| Jessica: | Fancy him, do you? |
| Wendy: | He can pass me his baton any day. [the rests of the girls giggles] |
| John Dixon: | What time your parents due back? |
