“Iu0026#39;ve caught this movie a few times playing on Stars in the states, and there is something indescribably charming about it. Maybe Iu0026#39;m biased because Iu0026#39;ve always loved British movies and television shows, but I found this movie very cute. The story is nothing big and dramatic, just a boy liking a girl and learning a bit about himself and about love in general in the end. The lead character of Gregory is very convincing and very real, you like him but at the same time you canu0026#39;t help wincing a bit at his awkwardness, especially in the scene where heu0026#39;s helping Dorothy out in football by playing goalie. I find this movie very refreshing when compared to teen comedies that are being made nowadays. Gregoryu0026#39;s Girl has a realness and innocence to it that is severely lacking in Hollywood now. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd also thanks to whoever posted that the US version had the Scottish accents dubbed. I always noticed there was something u0026quot;offu0026quot; about the voices, especially the younger kids and now I see why. I hope someday I can see a copy with the original voices intact.”
