Press:

"Issues are addressed with the same undercut of humour to show that if you have a friend or a mother who can laugh in the face of disadvantage with you, then life can be fun and enjoyable whatever the difficulty."

- Gezy Vaughan - The Boar

"Irish writer/director Peter Foott's utterly charming comedy flick The Young Offenders makes a smooth and seamless transition from the big screen to small"

- Aoife Kelly - The Independent

"Conor and Jock are wonderfully conceived and even better portrayed by Alex Murphy and Chris Walley."

- Ivan Radford

"It’s not just the situational comedy that makes Young Offenders so great – the love which is shown between certain characters is also heartwarming and gets you emotionally involved and attached to them."
