Summary: A great film - it's a well known fact!!
Review: It's been a long time since this classic gem filmed in Cumbernauld has been released. I recently found a VHS copy through ebay, unaware that the movie was finally being reissued on DVD. I encourage anyone with a sense of humour to see this movie.
The story revolves aroung Gregory and Dorothy. Dorothy has just joined the boys soccer team and has enraptured Gregory. With all his courage he asks Dorothy out on a date and she agrees; only to stand him up that night. However he meets Carol, then Margo, then Susan, who it turns out has had eyes for Gregory all along.
Incredible performance turned in by Gordon John Sinclair as the tall, awkward and lanky Gregory in his quest to woo the gorgeous Dorothy (Dee Hepburn) with the hair, the smell and the teeth.
If anyone ever figured out what the hell the penguin was doing in the halls of the high school I'd love to know.
This movie is chock full of laughs and will leave you with a warm heart.

Summary: How Come High School wasn't This Charming?
Review: Remember high school? Don't worry - neither does Bill Forsythe. Instead, he's made a terribly charming and even touching movie. It's boy meets girl, for sure - but all the kids are clever and smart, and life in this Scottish town is imbued with a kind of magic. Clare Grogan as Susan is the all time charmer, and Gordon John Sinclair as Gregory transcends adolescence itself and comes off kind of cool. Forget high school and buy this film instead.

Summary: Goofy, good natured, and charming
Review: Scottish director Bill Forsyth reveals his gift for natural humor in this delightful film.The Gregory of the title finds his impending puberty makes for a definite lack of coordination on the soccer field and with members of the opposite sex. His two worlds collide when he is kicked off the school soccer team and replaced by the girl of his dreams. Played by Gordon John Sinclair (who has a cameo in Forsyth's other masterpiece, "Local Hero"), Gregory is as goofy as any adolescent and much humor is derived from his lanky good-naturedness and stork-like figure alone. Perfectly capturing the confusion, awkwardness, and greatness of being a teenager, Gregory -- and "Gregory's Girl" -- are charming.

Summary: Funny, clever, witty... brillant movie
Review: Scottish made film. Type of movie that would never hit the top ten, due to the cast & the promotion efforts. But an excellent movie. Funny, clever, witty. Unique in its dialogue, camera angles, casting. Enjoyable movie that you want to see again. A FAMILY MOVIE.

Summary: If girls were meant to play football...................
Review: So many classic lines in the movie, but every time I see the film or hear it's name I always think of "Arriverderci Gordon Hurry Back" or "Transmit...take off the brazier". A class film with some quality adolescent acting, particularly the Window Cleaner, making out that he's the man 'cos of his job. Why did they never bring out the soundtrack?

Summary: Need something to lift your spirits & make you feel good?
Review: Then buy this movie! Gotta be the best "feel good" movie ever and it proves that movies can be extraordinarily good without violence, crude humor and graphic sex. Definitely in my top ten list!

Summary: Excellent film
Review: This is one of the best films of this genre. It is one of my favorite films of any genre. It's unassuming, unpretentious, and not melodramatic.It's just a nice pleasant experience. The pace is wonderfully casual. This adds to the realism. There are so many interesting, unique, well cast and acted characters. This includes the penguin. :) The ending may seem anticlimatic, but I like the way it winds down slowly like a real "day in the life". The evening of long shadows seems to take forever, which is how it must really be in a place at such a high latitude like Scotland in the summer. And the final tryst is so innocent and shy and low-key and private. That's how it is. At least that's how it is in the best scenarios. I think half the fun is the Scottish brogue. I want a copy on DVD!

Summary: A perfect little charmer of a comedy
Review: This movie seems rather light-weight at first but it stays in your heart and mind forever after seeing it. It's charming without being corny, sweet without being sentimental. It's simply a very original and fresh look at the least-original thing in the world--first love. And it's hilarious. The scene in which two boys think they'll impress a girl who's eating veal by describing how veal is made is one of the funniest and truest scenes ever created about adolescent awkwardness.

Summary: Thanks for ruining the movie
Review: Very quickly, this is a wonderful, gentle comedy which plays well to people who understand British humour. But why, why, why did the studio cut parts out? The DVD format could easily hold the entire movie. My recommendation is to buy the VHS tape, it's cheaper anyway and it shows the movie uncut. To the studio staff who made the decision to cut parts out....thanks for nothing.
