¡A lo grande!

Think "Dude, Mary ate my Pie" as directed by Tom Green - only without the good taste (and with bad teeth all round). And yet - the humor harks back more to Basil Fawlty than to Jack Tripper, the amazonian babes would do Benny Hill proud, and the dog leaves "There's something about Mary"'s pooch wallowing in the dust. As late-night video rental/cable fare - 8 out of 10.

Prurient teen rubbish at its absolute worst. Abysmal acting, script, plot......just about everything was dire.

So why did they make it and what sort of cretin would like this? Search me. I've seen risqué, blue and filthy comedy done well.....sometimes i seek them out as it CAN be funny. This wasn't funny for a moment.

Then there's the Brummie accents. Sweet Jesus. Absolutely awful, barring one lad who i think IS a native of that city.

Don't bother with this tripe. I did (for an hour so far) and it's an hour i've wasted.

Oh, and i expected more of Morwenna Banks who is better than this piffle.

I suppose it was my own fault, expecting something worthwhile, from a film that was funded, in part by FilmFour. I was not expecting, however to be crawling with embarrassment by the end of it. I can only assume that Justin Edgar is a big Tom Sharpe fan, since he used so many of his scenarios - the drugged dog being ever so reminiscent of "The Throwback" etc. etc. The sets were impressive enough and the filming although patchy, evoked enough atmosphere, but "Trainspotting" in Birmingham, this was not. The dragging up of B list celebrities did nothing for the standard of acting either - over the top, or in the case of the lead, Luke De Woolfson virtually non-existent, as he looked constantly surprised to be there at all. There are certainly some very funny moments, but none of them very original - like knowing the punch line to a joke while someone is telling it, the laugh is automatic. I'd like to have something clever to say, to sum it all up, but I'd rather just try and forget that I payed money to see it.

This film came about after the rush of gross out teen comedy's that have been coming around. The film itself is ok, set in Birmingham (mmmm). It follows the son of a rock star, who must not break key conditions set down by his father in order to inherit his millions. Of course he does and must put things right before his 18th birthday. There are some funny moments in here, if u look hard enough. There are also some fine looking ladies and the Birmingham accents are fun to listen too. And copy to impress your mates. This film is best saved for a drunken Saturday night when you want to waste some time with you friends, and look at the 'talent' on display. Not the acting kind. Or, go out with you friends and have a good time. 3/10

This film includes all properties needed for a successful film. Its humour and filthy-ness make the movie a must see. Justin Edgar is a director and writer who will soon be known world wide for his fantastic wit and origiality. If you like waynes world and american pie this movies for you and if you did not like them see it anyway.
