Inspired by the true story of Ireland's biggest cocaine seizure in 2007, The Young Offenders is a comedy road movie about best friends Conor and Jock, two inner-city teenagers from Cork who dress the same, act the same, and even have the same bum-fluff mustaches. Jock is a legendary bike thief who plays a daily game of cat-and-mouse with the bike-theft-obsessed Garda Sergeant Healy. When a drug-trafficking boat capsizes off the coast of West Cork and 61 bales of cocaine, each worth 7 million euro, are seized, word gets out that there is a bale missing. The boys steal two bikes and go on a road trip hoping to find a missing bale which they can sell so as to escape their troubled home lives....But Sergeant Healy is in hot pursuit.

Movie Reviews

Film Ireland Magazine - 9/10 by Gemma CreaghWith all the frenzied chases, a substantial soundtrack, elaborate action scenes and attractive aerial shots of Cork, it would be a fierce shame to catch this on anything else but the big screen.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kate MuirThis exuberantly daft teenage comedy has some similarities to The Inbetweeners but with a kinder, gentler wit.
Daily Mail (UK) - 8/10 by Brian VinerIt's energetic and silly, but also rather sweet, smartly written and directed by Peter Foott and, at times, very funny indeed.
Daily Express (UK) - 8/10 by Allan HunterThe story itself is slight and runs out of steam long before the arrival of a nailgun-wielding drug dealer but the script sparkles and Murphy and Walley are stars in the making as small-time crooks and big-time charmers.
Independent (UK) - 8/10 by Geoffrey MacnabWriter-director Peter Foott fills the film with slapstick and with plenty of scabrous, witty dialogue.
Total Film - 8/10 by Neil SmithAs potty as its premise and as endearing as its leads.
The List - 8/10 by Nikki BaughanDespite its convenient Hollywood ending, The Young Offenders remains defiantly home-grown, grass roots cinema; and is all the more enjoyable for it.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Patrick PetersRaucously funny and winningly played, this is the best Irish comedy since Sing Street.
Irish Times - 8/10 by Donald ClarkeAn enormously funny, genuinely sweet romp that - were it not for one jarring bum note - would register as a contemporary classic.
RTÉ (Ireland) - 8/10 by Harry GuerinWhen The Young Offenders is pedalling to the max it's very, very funny.
