Why you can trust GamesRadar+
Bruce Webb’s sweet but salty tale twists the teen sex-com thoughtfully, as 15-year-old Liverpudlian Robbie (Josh Bolt) discovers he’s not only dying for sex, but dying of a heart condition.

Both plotting and playing are a bit ragged and the visuals are telly-tastic, but the film’s fresh, unvarnished take on male friendship is altogether winning.
