The Last of the High Kings Movie Review 1996

Underachieving Irish Frankie (Leto) decides to forget about his university entrance exams and enjoy his summer (it's 1977) by cutting loose and fantasizing about various girls he knows. What he doesn't realize is that young American Erin (Ricci), who's staying with his crazy family, has fallen for him. Pleasant romance with a talented cast. Based on the novel "The Last of the High Kings" by Ferdia Mac Anna.
