Lively, inconsequential domestic comedy of misplaced aspirations, set against a background of punk rock and disco.

Whatever happened to this film??
Back in 1999, i saw this film at the cinema without even knowing what it was about, who was it etc. It's a silly British teenage/fantasy/weird film set in the 1980s about a teenage lad trying to be popular in all sorts of groups to get the girl of his dreams. Very well you say, but the sub-plot is that his Grandfather 'Harold Smith' has magical powers. As strange as it sounds, this was not a bad little movie! im sure there are many who would disagree but i think i found a hidden jem of British film which i think has been cruely overlooked. Whatever happened to this film?
