Days of the Bagnold Summer (out Feb 18) is a British coming-of-age comedy about a rebellious, rock music loving teenager who reluctantly must spend the summer holidays with his "most boring person in the world" mother. It's over-scripted and doesn't always flow smoothly but it's still fun to watch these two characters push each other's buttons. Monica Dolan is wonderful as the mum. Grade: B.
