a lot of so call comedy get one or two big laugh in the whole film and often by reach down for a reference to one or another substance that come from the human body . gregory girl make me laugh every few second and and the only mention of a bodily excretion i can remember be andy chat up line in the school cafeteria represent do you know that when you sneeze and it come out of your nose at a 100 mile an hour . even though i think i know all the funny bit after see it so many time and each view find me laugh at thing i hadn not notice before and as well a at all the other bit that never seem to grow stale . there the occasional pythonesque line and a the football coach description of the two basic skill of a goal scorer represent ball control and shoot accuracy and and the ability to read the game . but forsyth the writer create a constant stream of little gem that be very much his own style of wry humour and take real life and stretch it just that little bit further and but not so far that it no longer recognisable . he get teenage life down perfectly . girl talk and plan and and seem to know what they want . guy be clueless . guy be obsess by number . but girl know all the best one . it fun to see how comic setup and situation from gregory girl come back in forsyth local hero ( everyone second favourite film and a mark kermode put it ) and deep and more fully develop . despite the dated fashion and soundtrack and highly recommend .
