Amazon.co.uk Review
There is something so utterly captivating about this Bill Forsyth film--whether it's the quaintly authentic Scottish accents (they had to be softened for its US release) or the wholly universal story of young love. But what really gives IGregory's Girl/I its evergreen appeal is the enchanting performance of young Gordon John Sinclair as the eponymous gangly lead. With his shock of red hair, he's all arms and legs--and inexperience. Gregory becomes infatuated with Dorothy (a lovely Dee Hepburn), who proves a heartier and better athlete than he is. Gregory's so clueless, he relies on advice from his wee sister. The story may be familiar, but Forsyth's astute and affectionate rendering gives the film its momentum (the film won best screenplay at the British Academy Awards). If American viewers at first struggle to understand the well-written banter, it is worth the effort because there's charm in nearly every line. It's curious that both Sinclair and Hepburn, seemingly poised on the brink of stardom here, either chose not to take advantage of the possible opportunity or weren't ever offered roles as wonderful as these. (Sinclair had a small role in Forsyth's ILocal Hero/I and starred in 1986's IThe Girl in the Picture/I and other small films. Hepburn appears to have worked only once post-IGregory/I, a brief stint in the British series ICrossroads/I.) Forsyth completed a 1998 sequel, with Sinclair and IEver After/I's Dougray Scott. I--N.F. Mendoza/I

 'gregory's girl' is OK but not that intersting.........(a scottish film) December 22, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
'Gregory's girl' is quite good but there just isn't enough happening, apart from Gregory fancying this girl who is very good at football. Then at the end, he realizes he was actually in love with a different girl. This girl he now fancies, isn't very pretty, just nice and good to be with, whereas the girl who was good at football WAS pretty but wasn't that interesting. br /It does sound quite complicated, but it should actually be a bit more interesting in the film than it is at the moment!!br /Anyway, buy this scottish film if you want, but it isn't great!
 Warm and wonderful February 4, 2008

I never tire of watching this film. It is simply perfect. Every word of dialogue is spot on. Always appears in the 'top 50' lists somewhere. "Bella - bella".
Nostalgic, but not really much of a movie February 1, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Gregory's Girl was big news at the time of its release and several cast members went on to bigger and better things. However, when viewed almost 3 decades later it is a rather limp film and not much of a movie at all - it's a bit like an extended version of Grange Hill on a low budget.br /br /Still, it has its place. It's probably a memorable aspect of Scottish film-making, and apart from the Inland Revenue, it is something that put the new town of Cumbernauld on the map. Cumbernauld, about 14 miles northeast of Glasgow was formed as a new town in 1957 to accommodate the overspill from Glasgow's slum-housing. The town has had a bad press for a long time now (boring architecture and low level of amenties) so anything that can add a bit of colour (albeit of a nostalgic mode) to the place has to be worthwhile.br /br /Gregory's Girl has some interesting smaller roles - the legendary comedian Chick Murray for example, and Alex Norton of subsequent Taggart fame. Of course, Claire Grogan and Dee Hepburn, not to mention the lead guy, all went on to enjoy various levels of success.br /br /At only 87 minutes long it's easy viewing and the whole idea should probably be commended as Scottish film-making is not know for its high level of output.
Charming and innocent throwback. January 27, 2008

This comedy gets sweeter and more endearing the older it gets. Made back in the the mists of time when every other youth was not a 'hoodie' and every other adult was not a...well, something even worse, here we have an innocent world where gangly, awkward teenagers fret and frustrate over becoming adults despite all the adults clearly being even more childish than they are. Girls may become boys, the Earth that flies through space at 1,000 miles a second (it's a well known fact) might flip over on its axis, but boys will always be boys and young love what makes their world go round.br /br /
