Press clippings
This warm coming-of-age comedy set in 1966 stars Gregg Sulkin as a geeky 12 year-old who wants his bar mitzvah to be a huge party. Problem is, his parents (Eddie Marsan and Helena Bonham Carter) have scheduled it for the same day as the World Cup final (which, of course, without a hint of irony, England reach).
