"Mickybo and Me" is a feel-good film in the setting of Angela's Ashes. It plays in Belfast, 1970, through the eyes of two young boys, Mickybo and Jonjo. 90% of the film is an adventure, inspired by the classic "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," and leading to some pretty mad situations.
It was a pick by my brother, who chose it in the spirit of "Purely Belter" and "About a Boy." Chances are that if you like those two (the books are even better), you'll like this one as well.
