In a small Scottish town, awkward teenager Gregory falls for the sporty Dorothy. As Gregory fumbles through attempts to win her affection, the outcome is something unexpected. Bill Forsyth's coming of age comedy became a massive box office hit and a cult favourite. From the 21st century perspective, it is charming but overly goofy, plotless, and visually dated. Followed by Gregory's Two Girls in 1999.
