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.

    A well-established youth drama, but with a clear theme, not pretending to be deep in the 70s, performing due diligence, and not being aggressive, all of which are rare truths.

    It's not the kind of thorough joy, but it's also filled with a lot of awareness brought by the hard work of small people, and get to know the British town of the 1970s in a relaxed atmosphere.
