So will your sister like me with this silly cap on?
Two schoolboys are neighbours and good friends. One day, a strange man makes friends with them, which intensifies when he meets the sister of one of the boys. Desperate to get her into bed, he continues his friendship with the boys, while at the same time coming between them. When things get too tense, and the friendship between the boys is ruined, their dads eventually become involved, leading to reconciliation for an estranged family.

Ian Douglas: The British fascination with dysfunctional families continues with this film. While ostensibly about the friendship between the two little boys, it is more about Romeo's domestic problems, and the numerous attempts by the stranger to get his sister as a lover. Not really an ''enjoyable'' movie, although it does have its comic moments.
