One girl.
Game on.
Malachy (Rupert Grint) is a straight A student with a part time job and a good family. Luke (Robert Sheehan) lives with his good-for-nothing father in a place rented to them by his brother, all of them dealing drugs. Playing off eachother, the guys stick together as best friends, until Michelle (Kimberley Nixon) moves back into town... A tease and a troublemaker, she is trying to make a life living with her father, but unfortunately the three are ticking off just the wrong reactions in eachother.
I really liked this movie! It is intense, fast-paced and smart, portraying British teenagers and their struggles with love, life and experimentation. Visually I particulartly liked the text messages, displayed very 'in-your-face' on the screen, giving a good idea of how we are sometimes miles away from our surroundings when texting. It is also a bit too indie at times, with lots of close-ups and cross-cutting, but all in all a great film.
Grint and Sheehan are both guilty pleasures; too young, too hot! And it's in Irish - lovely stuff! Though a teen flick, Cherrybomb is well made, well played, good entertainment. A must-see for fans of British indie.
