Four teen boys on the football team from their all-boys Catholic school in Belfast are girl obsessed. Mickey wants to be a fashion designer. Gary wants to be a magician. Spike wants to be a mercenary. Danny is serious about football and takes dance class to improve his footwork. He is taken with star dance pupil and rich Protestant girl Lucy McCloughlin (Keri Russell). Her boyfriend is a football rival. Her father Sidney McLoughlin (Brian Cox) owns a chain of stores and is a well-known TV personality.
It's a rather thin teen rom-com. Keri Russell does some accent work. Her character is self-centered and off-putting. The boy is sweet but not that exciting and a bit dumb. Maybe I'm missing some of the local humor. The movie has a bit of fun but needs more comedy. It's all rather sweet and safe. If this is a bunch of nobodies, this could work as a sweet low-key indie. Keri Russell does throw me off. I'm expecting more heat, more chemistry, more comedy, and more of everything.
