Simple story line, instant well predictable ending. Most actors don't bother to actually act (Ella-Rae Smith, Fabienne Piolini-Castle, and Alhaji Fofana actually did a good job). Home made visual effects. Only watch this if you like 60's style cinema.

A D minus effort, very much cheesy British tv fair from the 80s, the baddies were annoying, most of the dialog was mind numbing, and the kids were like a hang over from the 80s, fake rebellion and wishful outsiders, probably written by some old f@rt longing for their lost youth.
This is well below standard for movies these days, although the locations were nice and low level london street scenes, and some of the actors did the best with what they were given, which wasn't much. Ella-Rae Smith did really well in particular. Actually, some of em were pretty bad.
It's like a bad kids TV show, it's aspires to low budget. Bad on all levels. If you are five and have never seen a a film or TV programme you will love this, everyone else give it a miss.

Didn't understand the basics of this movie. The lead character is in his 20's and looks 30 dressed up as a schoolboy. The accents and the way they speak sounds as though they are making a bad attempt at auditions for Oliver.
Terrible movie. I wouldn't let my children watch it as it's dumb. Wasn't even funny.

Another movie that looks like it was written by a 12 year old. It sucks!
If you're over the age of 12 then I'll stick my neck out and suggest that this film is not for you. I saw this with my two kids (aged 8 & 10) and they loved it. They haven't stopped going on about that matchbox creature.
For me, it reminded me of the films I saw when I was a kid - it's not a Marvel film nor a Harry Potter by any stretch but a low budget film aimed at a young audience. If you've got kids under 12 then I'd say give a go - they will love it.
Bye-bye.

High concept British comedy sci-fi film with gorgeous teen cast, set to be stars of the future. They are a terrific team on screen and so watchable.
Great music and a snappy script from Roland Moore take us through an enjoyable ride with some really surprisingly heart touching moment.
Cameo roles of faces known and others rising make this an easy to enjoy family film, connecting predominantly with young teens but charming all ages.

So refreshing to find a family movie that is British and not a cartoon! I watched this in a cinema packed with kids and they where laughing and cheering all the way through as Tim figured out how to spend the last 2 hours of his life. Tim's father has died and has left him hurt and confused about what is important in his life. When he discovers the Vitaltron, built by a suitably batty scientist (Siobhan Redmond), it's a chance for him to work out who he wants to spend the last 2 Hours of his life with.
Also loved the twist at the end...

I was so happy to let my youngest watch this and see positive female characters in a kids film for a change. All 3 of the female leading characters are strong roles and not confined to being the 'girlfriend' like so many other films do.
My youngest is 9 and she loved it!
Low cost family entertaining teeny weeny comedy, also severely animal friendly so let fuss and pipp have a look too. Love british actors when with good pronounciation and 'earable diction, funny story in a way of moviemaking thats dying out, namely the crank and prank comedy. Grumpy old man recommends.
2 Hours is a really enjoyable ride from start to finish. Its rare to see an independent film with such convincing and likeable lead actors especially from teenagers and it is an endearing and charming family film that anyone can enjoy. The production values are also really good and the production design and sets are really fantastic.
I had the pleasure of seeing this in a cinema and the whole audience was engaged and laughing, it really brought people together as the genre should.
Great film to watch, and the producers Di and Andromeda have done a fantastic job bringing it all together.

All stops are pulled out for this glorious teenage romp. There is a certain innocence about this movie which put me in mind of the charm of Bill Forsyth's "Gregory's Girl" from back in 1980. It has style pace and an interesting plot which causes in one a taking stock of life's priorities. I look forward to seeing more movies from Mr Newton.
