Unconventional youth comedy

I'm tired of the clichéd youth movies in Hollywood. Suddenly a British youth comedy comes out. It feels very refreshing. Although it doesn't have the ups and downs of Hollywood plots, the background of the story is a small British town in the 1970s. It's very comfortable.
The whole process of the movie is relatively bland, and the ending is very satisfactory. The three male protagonists have found their own way. Bruce finally understands that his mother's departure was not because of his father's weakness, but because his father was not hurt. In desperation, he finally chose to stay in his hometown and be with his father; Freddie also understood that wealth cannot replace the happiness in life, and finally went on a trip with his beloved girl; Snooker also found a true understanding and love her girl.
This movie doesn't have any sensational scenes, but it is comfortable and natural to watch. It's just that simple. Maybe this is its greatest charm.

    No matter what the result is, youth never fails. Like it says in the movie. At least there are things to remember in old age. Instead of eating and watching TV until you die. At the party I felt a surge of that unease. It just felt like the ending I liked. Indeed, the three youths each found their home. really nice

    The subject matter is not uncommon, and the techniques are not new. The sense of rhythm is not enhanced by the humorous lines and high school bridges. The emotional direction is also a little less convincing. Passing work, but not refined.
