I wanted to read the book before I saw this movie, so missed it at the cinema. Apart from John Cleese, the cast is unknown out of South Africa (where it's set and made). Spud is the story of the experience of a 15 year old boy who wins a scholarship to an exclusive all boys school.

Just like the book, the movie was funny, emotional, sad and insightful. The cast were superb and the cinematography quite splendid. My wife, who hadn't read the book, enjoyed it as much as I did. Recommended!
