One of those UK movies that you might easily overlook and lump in to the low budget UK rubbish movie category. You would be totally wrong to do that. This really is a little gem. A coming of age story intertwined with a dream to appear on University Challenge. Stars James McAvoy who really is very good and the recent hype about his various recent roles is justified. Mark Gatiss (from League of Gentlemen) is brilliant as Bamber Gascoigne. Funny, warming and very watchable, with a great 80s soundtrack. This is a JM RECOMMENDS.
