Gregory's Two Girls is a 1999 British film, set in Cumbernauld. It is the sequel to Gregory's Girl (1981), which also starred John Gordon Sinclair and was written and directed by Bill Forsyth.[1] The film received mixed reviews.[2]

Plot

Eighteen years after the events of Gregory's Girl, Greg Underwood (Sinclair) – now a 35-year-old English teacher in his former secondary school – has fantasies about 16-year-old student Frances (McKinnon). His politically motivated lessons inspire Frances and Douglas, another student, to plot to overthrow a businessman they suspect of trading in torture equipment.

A critically acclaimed comic performance by rising star Kenny Pullen was of particular note.
