Stevenage, not Boston...


Why is it the poster of this film features Boston in the background. On RottenTomatoes.com, it clearly states that the film features 'four Bostonians'... what the hell??? Is there some re-edited version of this movie set in Boston? Otherwise, why change the original setting of Stevenage in Hertfordshire?

because stevenege is a *beep*

im sorry but its true, i come from near-by & have visited a fair amount of times, infact i have to go through the place to get to the same college that the producer of this garbage came from yay.... all in all boston kickout is rubbish and stevenege is sh*t

i sound so mean, but its a well thought out opinion that accumulated over 18 years of visting the place, i gave it enough chances but it sucked

and boston looks nice, & the title was stupidly boston kickout when its set in stevenege, they only named it that after there game were they jump over fences n stuff. thats dumb

I think that it might be that the character that comes from up North (John Sim) came from the town of Boston and left, hence being a BOSTON KICKOUT. Oh, and BTW... Stevenage, yeah a bit of a dump, but hey... some of us have to come from here! :-) I could think of worse places to grow up in, but Stevenage isn't as bad as they make it out to be in the film ;-)

yeah i'm from stevo too. It's pretty lame here, huh? I agree that there are worse places to grow up in but stevenage is pretty bad.

Why do we fall, Sir?

There's nothing wrong with Stevenage. It's surrounded by a positive history with lot's of places to go and decent people to boot.

A typical comment from someone who's never even lived here. A place is as good as you make it.

I can only assume your from a less educated part of the county due to your punctuation and spelling.

Gotta agree on this. I live in Stevenage too and there's nothing in the town that can be compared to the film. Hell I remember when this film was being filmed. Only reason I gonna get the film, is so I can laugh and point, at how ridiculous it is.
