You won't be disappointed!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

As comedy movies go, I want Candy just isn't funny. It makes you smile a couple of times but thats it, we are not talking American Pie territory here.The movie itself is about 15 minutes too long and stutters to an dull and boring end, i.e the award ceremonies which was to predictable and unnecessary.Cast wise OK, except for the cameo of Alan Carr and his stupid hat trying to be Quentin Tarantino ?, did he really need a speaking part, he's much better at being funny than acting funny.In summary worth a look after the pub, but its never going to be a classic, Brit comedy.

The pretentiousness of the acting in a throwback 70's England, the accents, it is too apparent that they are there to "normalise" a lack of freedom. The English accents are phoney, and I am referring to the leads, and they're English! There aren't and never were stereotypical "gangster like cultures" in England; seeing the mock up in belittling youngsters with "you're surrounded with evil in some industries; keep quiet and under the influence of the monopoly that is running the movie industry in England" will only result in every truly refreshing pro establishment youngster that can conceive reality appropriately being fooled into submitting to the paradigm that following Ealing Studio mighty formulas will help weaving reality with social engineering, resulting only in social engineering prevailing, of the type they want to enforce in England even. All the emphases, all the mannerism, have been conceived by writers that know how to project in writing a "switch", a literal switch to turn on and off vomiting; youngsters in England will get a headache and a sensation of vomit from every cinematographic effort intended to induce vomit within this movie, and there's plenty of them. Young English people in this movie, those supposed to be students getting out of an art college, are directed to assume 70 year old people demeanour, but of 70 year olds that were living in the 30s! That odd vomiting sensation again, and again. There's an odd effort to project a conformity, to propagate how people in their place remain in their place; can you believe "writers that make it in England" are only producing this garbage? We've given them computers, affordable word processors; they can cut, paste, rearranged and modify at will, a luxury filmmakers of the 20's didn't have, but this is all they can come up with? It stinks, and you know it's done on purpose. Parents in the 21st century imitating Carry On characters?! What gave the writers the idea that is a paradigm that is well perceived or marketable? It is neither in fact! The Carry On franchise had parodies for the time the were made; in a 21st century context their parody doesn't apply; pass me a strong paper bag. Youngsters in England aren't that insecure; that interpreting a wayward son of a parent with a "blooming" business means approximating the worst possible middle class hero available in England is just wanting not to have more people filling up the cinemas.England has been placed in trance, with a fascination with celebrities that approximate the lowest common denominator. The humour is silly; a mid 20's character in England isn't making shallow jokes like a chap in his early puberty years. For the producers of this movie, the purpose is to propagate mediocrity in English made movies; before is too late that is, before some movement in England finally wake everyone up and make aware that the establishment, 99.99% of the population that is, shouldn't put up with the self elected leaders which only represent 0.01% of the population, these latter being the anarchists, the anti-establishment. Absolutely everything has been put together with care avoiding any hint of reality; there's a storyline throughout this movie that has been conceived while in a cotton cloud; I feel like vomiting. I suppose this movie might have been made more watchable if everyone in it was going around without arms; that way they would have had much less chances in between takes to hide their eyes and face in shame, especially some of the lead actors; acting is acting, not an imitation of one's regurgitating character. Often the same joke is repeated over and over, a classic "repeat a lie times enough until it becomes true"'; but it doesn't work with bad jokes to start with, not matter the reiterations. Characters in this movie imitate other characters already present on UK TV channels; there is this tangible effort in the "UK movie industry", masqueraded in laziness, to avoid portraying new and really outstanding and entertaining characters, probably because they might be trouble with the severely weak self-righteousness of the monopoly capitalism running amok in England.This film is in a new genre; definitely not comedy; it's in between drama and horror, but also with a little action, like vomiting action and getting out of the theatre action. Whoever watched the end result with a minimum of brain must have gotten an headache, it is such a sleeper; but wasn't it blatant by reading the script in the first place? England is better than what the junkies directing and writing this junk have had the omen to distribute as a movie. Let me through, I need to vomit; remembering one the scenes has triggered the switch again. 0/5 Even funds from the UK National Lottery have been wasted on this movie -1/5 then! thematrixexpert@yahoo.com

Two film students head to London with their script which they believe will be the first step to Hollywood, they hook up with a dodgy film producer who agrees to finance the film, provided they can get porns hottest star Candy Fiveways (Carmen Electra).I Want Candy' it must be said is quite a sweet and charming film in a 'The Full Monty' kind of way, sadly though unlike that film, the laughs are few and far between it must be said, I think I went a full hour before a proper laugh, a very amusing scene that all I shall say "required wet wipes"! The only selling point this film would seem to have is the chance for men to see Carmen Elektra in various sexy outfits and states of undress, something I'm sure you could see say in a Playboy DVD, if she has one that is, not that'd I'd know about that sort of thing! Lightweight fluff all in all with a serious lack of laughs I'm afraid.5/10

I went to see this movie without any expectations and not really knowing much about it and I really enjoyed it, I came out feeling thoroughly entertained. And I rarely laugh out loud in the cinema.I think the reason people have been disappointed is that the advertising has been misleading - pictures of a half-naked Carmen Electra - when there isn't much of this in the movie itself. So if you want a soft porn movie with scantily clad women this isn't for you. But if you want great light hearted entertainment it is.Admittedly the storyline is not a complex one, but after a long week that's exactly what one needs on a Friday night. I was thankful for being entertained without having to try.The mixed cast works well. Great performances from two unknown leads supported by established actors such as Eddie Marsan and Mackenzie Crook carry this movie through. Overall, a great British feel-good movie which doesn't take itself too seriously.Look out for the bathroom scene!
