McDonald at the Movies: Gregory’s Girl

Wed, Aug 7 / 7 pm
Directed by Bill Forsyth
1980, UK, 91 min

Once a month, comedian and co-founder of Kids in the Hall, Kevin McDonald will present a film handpicked from the archives of comic history.

A new 2K restoration of the second feature from the director of Local Hero, Bill Forsyth. Gregory Underwood is a graceless teen soccer player on a hapless team. When a girl named Dorothy (Dee Hepburn) shows up to play, things change quickly; Dorothy becomes a top player, while Gregory and the rest of the team become enamored of her. Gregory works up the courage to invite Dorothy on a date. She accepts, but Gregory finds he’s been deceived into taking out another girl. Despite his confusion, Gregory eventually warms to the situation.

Reviews

Gregory’s Girl is charming, innocent…very funny. The movie contains so much wisdom about being alive and teenaged and vulnerable.
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
