This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Again thoroughly enjoyed another Adam Deacon movie this guy along with Ben Drew are the two most important actors/directors this generation has right now at the moment in my opinion. This movie does exactly what it is supposed to which is to make us laugh our arse off! Anyone who doesn;t find Tyrone hilarious needs a sense of humour transplant immediately? Is this movies a masterpiece? lol of course not its not supposed to be, Has Adam Deacon spent 4 years polishing every single scene just like a Kubrick or Kurosawa movie? Of course bloody not lol. This is a quickly and very cheaply British movie made with realistic dialogue, scenery, costume, music, script, of course it is realistic if it isn;t then how else do the young underclass of Britain dress and talk etc? Its spot on in fact. Now this movie isn't perfect in some places, Fair enough, But this movie is entertaining and makes me want too watch many more Deacon efforts and feel proud that all these talented British actors are giving it a go instead of actually dealing drugs or standing in a job centre. My advice is lighten the hell up when watching these movies ffs. To anyone else who found this movie hilarious good on ya'h. Big well done to Deacon and rest of crew an excellent effort. By the way one last thing this was twice as funny as the original Friday movies just not as polished.

As a fan of Deacon's previous work watching Anuvahood was like torture for the eyes and ears. Whilst clearly a capable actor his writing and directorial skills leave much to be desired. The film consists of a plot which starts nowhere and finishes in the same place, characters who are not only unbelievable but boring to watch, and 'jokes' which fail to deliver. Whilst admittedly there are a handful of one-liners which do raise a laugh it is hard to believe that anyone could enjoy this movie. As a part of what I would imagine the target audience for this film to be, I was almost offended by this offering to cinema-goers. There's a wasteman on every street? Yes and apparently on every cinema screen as well.

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Kenneth (Adam Deacon) likes to try and play the big man, but his front usually gets dashed pretty quickly. Unable even to hold down a simple job at a super-market (Laimsbury's!), he takes abuse from his mouthy mum who's fallen behind with payments and having trouble from the bailiffs, and has to duck and cover from the hyper hard man on the estate who's out to put him down. Until a chance encounter dealing some stolen weed brightens his prospects a bit, as well as making a new friend in a Spanish relation of his uncle's. But it's all building up to go wrong, leading Ken to a final showdown that will test his will as a man.Kidulthood and Adulthood have become cult films of their time, high-lighting the modern 'urban street culture' a lot of the modern youth follow, in particular the fashion sense and slang. So Adam Deacon, star of both films, is in a good position to make a film sending them up. Which is why it's so surprising the result is such an amateurish effort, that fails where something like Ali G Indahouse worked. Both of Noel Clarke's sink estate dramas aimed to pull no punches and dive into the unflinching underclass of 21st century Britain. This meant that, while good films in themselves, they were mostly quite downbeat, grim viewing. So it was welcome that the next 'hood' effort would be a more light hearted affair. Sadly, you can see most of the jokes coming a mile off, and too much of it feels forced and over the top, with inconsistent characters, including a villain like Wesley Snipes from Demolition Man on steroids, and some random, pointless characters being introduced and then never heard from again. That's not to mention most of the dialogue being spat out so ridiculously loud and fast you'd do well to pack some Alka Seltzer on your trip to see it. A disappointing mess. **

This is not a Kidulthood/Adulthood... far from it..It is looks to be a comedy from the trailer, but ends up being a weak comedy-drama.The language in this film is London 'street' for a majority of it and perhaps only suit a certain audience. The characters aren't likable to be honest even the character Kenneth annoys you at times. There are only a few funny scenes. Mostly involving the character Tyrone, but some of it just unintentional.Is it watchable..just about...but once you have you wished you hadn't bothered.The script is poor and you feel you seen it all before, but only better written and acted.
