This film tells the story of a group of typical northern boys preparing to take the oxbridge exams. This boys dont fit the classic oxbridge stereotype and the headmaster employs a specialist to help them reach their full potential. I enjoyed this film as it tackled contraversial issues surrounding private boys schools, through the relationship of student and teacher while still including humor. The main theme of the film was about not judging people on first impressions and looking deeper and beyond their appearance and persona. I would definitely reccomend this film but only for an older audience due to innapropriate language and themes.
