Default Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? *solved*

I cannot remember this film extremely well but I remember some key points.

There's a young lad with long(ish brown hair) and he takes a liking to a girl who is part of the punk scene. He tries to mix with the punks relatively unsuccessfuly. The leader of the punk group of friends is a lunatic with short blonde hair, and there is a scene where the lad pulls a prank on him in a phonebox and he goes crazy smazhing his hands and feet through the glass pannels.

Another distinct part of the film I remember is the lad's father has telekinetic powers and recalls how he once managed to levitate his friends tortoise when he was a boy but accidently causes it to explode. Up until then the father had recalled it as being the best day of his life.

I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me the name of this film. It looked really good and was quite unusual

Damn and blast I know which one you mean.......I can`t think, I can`t think

His brother did magic tricks, he didnt get on with the father.....I think it was set in the 70`s. The main boy worked in an office and the punk girl worked with him, only she dressed like an office worker there and not a punk.

She asked him to run away with her.

LULU was in it as the mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!
