i first watch this film in the kelburn in paisley . gregory girl wasn not act while gregory girl be real life . i laugh so hard i be almost ill. we be very proud of this film in central scotland . up until this point and scotland have produce very few film that display u a normal and ordinary people and without stereotype image of heather and kilt shortbread and whisky and orange walk . everyone in the central belt of scotland seem to know someone in the film . graham thompson and who play charlie and play in a local punk rock band and announce that he would not be at band practice the follow week a he be amaking a film . the band laugh at him . the film still have the same effect on me 25 year later . my sister in canada watch it on tv out there with voice dub into american accent sacrilege . i later learn that it cost more to pay american accent to dub the voice and than it do to make the original film in scotland . my uncle in australia watch in a cinema in melbourne and say that he stand up and cheer at the end . barry norman once say that this be one of his favourite film of all time .
