Well-made but boring movie about a young man waiting for his Leaving Certificate results (which are out today!). He lives in posh Howth back in the '70s and his family are crazy; as in actor crazy. Then he gets mixed up with a few Protestant and American girls. Some problems with this movie include: the lead (singer with famous rock band
30 seconds to Mars!) is too good looking to be shy with women, the mother is a nutcase and anti-Protestant, and there are too many famous actors in smaller roles. The story is slight and it's too tame with no real humour, lame rock songs on the soundtrack, and a general blandness which characterised most Irish cinema of the '90s.
