Movie Reviews of Gregory's Girl
Movie Review: Scottish comedy made me smile and laugh and remember
Summary: 5 Stars
Gregory's Girl is one of those "Comedies from the British Isles" that I put in the same general category as "Calendar Girls" and "Waking Ned Devine" and "The Full Monty".
The humor across the ocean is a little different than in the US and if you're not willing to tune your ear to the wonderful cadences of a Scottish Brogue, then bypass Gregory and his girls.
But for those willing to wade in - Gregory's Girl presents an opportunity to be delighted with little to offend (if you discount the opening scene where Gregory and his buddies are voyeuristically peeping at a local nurse undressing from outside her window - there is a moment of scant nudity seen from afar.)
Gregory (played with full teenaged awkwardness by John Gordon Sinclair) reminds us that there is little more awkward and gangly than a tall teenager, but this Gregory has a good sense of humor about himself and his inadequacies.
Made in 1980 in the days before political correctness Dee Hepburn as Dorothy enters Gregory's world as a girl trying out for Gregory's football (soccer) team - specifically, she is trying out for Gregory's position because he's not scoring any goals and his team has lost 8 games in a row.
There are plenty of "girls can't play" comments before it becomes apparent that Dorothy is the most talented player among the bunch. Rather than being threatened by her a Dorothy craze sweeps the school and she finds herself being interviewed by the school paper and bootleg photos of her are being sold by enterprising students. Gregory falls for Dorothy as well - hard - and perhaps because of their sports connection he seems to think himself more suited for her than the other blokes.
Gregory is gangly and awkward, though, and the scenes where we see Gregory getting romantic advice and trying to make himself more desirable are accurate and hilarious.
Will Gregory make a hit with Dorothy? Well - get the movie and find out!
