gregory girl be a forerunner of film like napoleon dynamite and 40 year old virgin and subtle like the former and not obvious like the latter . if you be ever an innocent adolescent and can recall your first infatuation with a girl with a wry smile and then this will make you laugh at yourself and cry at the same time what more can you ask from a film . i can still remember the cinema and the seat and the friend i first saw this film with myself british and a friend ausralian and both weep with laughter a we recognise ourselves in that gawky scottish lad and and his hilarious young sister . bill forsyth go on to the film local hero and which be also right up there with the great in my scoring . he make film about real people and all our idiosyncrasy and and make me feel and enjoy at the same time . favourite scene follow favourite scene when gregory walk in front of a car and his father be the drive instructor and when gregory lie on the ground with not gregory girl and hold onto the surface of the earth by the mysterious force of gravity and the boy out take photo of a nurse undressing use so many elephant at f8 and gregory spray deodorant onto his shirt and his friend the expert chef and etc . i guess many american find the scottish language incomprehensible so put on the subtitle . i can understand and enjoy napoleon you can enjoy gregory .
