The small Brooklyn neighborhood buzzes with anticipation of the Stones’ arrival, which gives Brian the courage to talk to pretty Shauna Friel (Leslie Murphy), the girl he was too shy to approach in high school. Shauna, a travel agent, is awaiting transfer to a glamorous new job in Los Angeles, and dreams of traveling the world before she’s 25. She and one of Brian’s other friends, the college-bound Todd, begin to plant new seeds of hope in Brian’s doubtful mind. Perhaps his art could be a ticket for him out of his dead end life and into a future of possibilities.
When one excessively violent beating from Paddy convinces Danny he can’t stay at home anymore, he tries to enlist Brian in one last scheme – to rob the Lafayette on the night of the Rolling Stones concert. Danny sees this as their only chance to get enough money to skip town and start them both off in a new life, somewhere far away from Brooklyn. As the theater fills with revelers, Brian is torn between his love and loyalty to Danny and his real fondness for Whitey. In the twists and turns that follow, both brothers must reexamine their dreams, and make decisions that will change their lives forever.
Couching clichés in self-conscious nostalgia does nothing to lessen their corniness in White Irish Drinkers, a coming-of-age saga notable only for its staleness. In 1975 Brooklyn, home of Noo Yawk Irish accents and bellbottoms, teenaged Brian (an unconvincing Nick Thurston) is forced to cope with a series of issues: his older brother Danny (an even less convincing Geoff Wigdor), a combative jerk who wants him to be his partner-in-larceny; his abusive drunk of a father (Stephen Lang); and his life working in a run-down movie theater, a seeming dead-end existence he’s comfortable accepting, despite the passion for painting he secretly nurtures in his apartment building’s basement.
