Peter Bradshaw Guardian This is a movie with a big heart, and nice performances from Josh Bolt and Eugene Byrne, playing teenage best mates, but for me it somehow never quite got over its sentimental unrealities. Rated: 2/5 Dec 2, 2010 Full Review Michael Leader Little White Lies A conflicted, uneven experience: sugary kitchen-sink realism with wank jokes. Rated: 3/5 Dec 2, 2010 Full Review Simon Crook Empire Magazine It could have been terrible, but director Bruce Webb's comedy is affecting, funny and really very moving. Rated: 3/5 Nov 29, 2010 Full Review Kate Stables Total Film Both plotting and playing are a bit ragged and the visuals are telly-tastic, but the film's fresh, unvarnished take on male friendship is altogether winning. Rated: 3/5 Dec 8, 2010 Full Review Henry Fitzherbert Daily Express (UK) A few rather clunky plot developments aside, this is a tender, funny and very well acted film with engaging characters. Rated: 3/5 Dec 6, 2010 Full Review David Edwards Daily Mirror (UK) It's poignant, well acted and occasionally funny, but a little formulaic, too. Rated: 3/5 Dec 3, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member all cliche and predictable, but still sweet and funny Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member slow paced with an okay story that kinda hovers around the unimportant bits rather than the main theme. couple of funny bits at best. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful and dead-on portrayal of male friendship. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched 30minutes total crap can't believe 90% of viewers liked this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best and most honest coming of age stories I have seen in a long time. The accents are extremely thick that it's hard to understand what they are saying but the story is so rich and good. I enjoyed watching this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastically funny british comedy drama. Directed with a deft hand and featuring apredominantly young and unknown British cast this movie will make you laugh and choke back the tears in equal measure. Support British cinema and go and see!
