Comedy drama in which a public school boy helps his popular yet intellectually inferior classmate pursue the daughter of their French teacher.
Alex Lawther stars in this sweet-natured, boarding school-set riff on Cyrano de Bergerac.
Although this Brit romcom finds nothing new to say in revamping a classic, it at least swerves the most obvious pitfalls of the genre.
Alex Lawther is forced to help a sports jock’s pursuit of the French teacher’s daughter in this awkward spin on the Cyrano de Bergerac story.
This public school take on a conventional coming-of-age story lacks a distinct bite.
A likable debut from Toby MacDonald, *Old Boys* adds a new lick to old tropes and delivers a mostly quirky appealing take on young love and the need to speak in your own voice.
