It is 1977, Dublin rocks to the music of Thin Lizzy and the world is stunned by the death of Elvis Presley. Frankie, caught between acne and adulthood, has just completed his final exams in school. Convinced he will fail, he survives the summer organising a beach party, having lustful thoughts about two girls he believes are unobtainable and fending off the advances from a visiting American family friend, all whilst coping with his oddball family.

I’m actually impressed by Jared Leto’s Irish accent! A bit stiff but it’s alright:)) A typical ‘coming of age’ movie tbh and it’s pretty standard. But this movie did gave me hope on passing my final exam in the future XD
