it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Now, I'm reliably informed that Keith Lemon (or the guy who plays him - whose name I don't actually know) does other - very popular - shows like Bo Selecta and Celebrity Juice. However, I never saw any of those.I rented Keith Lemon, on the grounds that I kept seeing articles and interviews about it in The Sun newspaper. The papers were also full of stories on The Inbetweeners Movie (which was awesome!) so I kind of considered, based on the massive newspaper publicity campaign, that this one must be worth a watch too.It's not.I was about five minutes in when I gauged the level of this movie. In short, it's just not funny. I don't mind toilet humour. I don't mind crudeness. And I don't mind silliness. However, crude, silly toilet humour has to actually be funny to pass. Keith Lemon used all of these and just never manages to make a joke. It relies on celebrity cameos every couple of minutes. Most of these are misfires and come across as forced and badly-acted.It's just bad. Seriously, check out the other reviews on any other website (I wish I had). The majority of people are giving it one star (and that's positively generous).I'm tempted to watch Bo Selecta or Celebrity Juice to see if they're any better. I'm sure this guy must have made some good stuff, otherwise he would never have got this travesty of a film off the ground.Stick with The Inbetweeners Movie if you want a taste of British humour at its best. Just bury Keith.If life gives you lemons, don't make a movie about them.
We bought the Blu Ray ridiculously cheap, and just thought it would be good for a giggle. Well we were in stitches within minutes, but then the film started to go downhill. The scene where Keith was beaten up was nasty and unnecessary, and the dream sequence was just bizarre and didn't work. The film then continued to be mildly amusing and of course crude, with one visual gag in particular involving Kelly Brook having us howling. I think one of the main problems with the film was the storyline just wasn't strong enough to have any sense of believability,plus there wasn't much of the prattish but likable Keith Lemon, he wasn't likable for most of the film. If you can get to see it cheap then do so,it's not the worst film ever by a long chalk.
This film is juvenile and as an acute embarrassment to the British film industry as it is truly unrepresentative of British humour and sets back a well deserved reputation that Brit Comedy has worked hard to achieve.It would be hard to include a spoiler, inasmuch as the film is way beyond spoiling without any help from me, it is infantile, crassly unfunny and to give it "1" our of "10" is giving it far more than it is worth. Leigh Francis, to give Lemon his real name, is worthless and an acute embarrassment to the entertainment industry.It is hard to find anyone sufficiently mediocre in the US with whom to compare this person, perhaps Chevvy Chase is the nearest. My apologies to anyone who saw this.
I don't ever write reviews, but I've made an exception for this film. It is, without a doubt, the worst film that I have ever seen in my life. I did not expect much from it from the trailers, but tried to go into it with an open mind. The entire film desperately attempts to revolve around crude humor, but takes it WAY too far and ends up being completely vile and foul. There was no originality or wit and the script was ridiculous and predictable in certain points. After about twenty minutes, I truly felt like I could not take any more of it so I attempted to have a nap next to my friend...who was already asleep from it.Thank God it was Orange Wednesday and my ticket was half price...
