I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

What makes it different from others?

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I should say that the title refers both to what happens to the lead character, and the film features the DJ Pete Tong. Based on the true life of legendary disc jockey Frankie Wilde (Paul Kaye), this Ibiza rave based film uses both documentary style and regular comedy drama. Wilde clawed his way to the top as one of the best DJs, but his success turns to tragedy when he develops a hearing disorder. He is given a hearing aid which he can only use if he has to, and of course he should be giving up his DJ mixing. Unfortunately he is permanently deafened wearing his aid while hearing a loud tune, high volume, on a stereo. In his depression he is drug taking and drinking heavily, but he has found a way to get back into creating his fantastic mixes. Obviously he learns to lip read first from his new partner Penelope Garcia (Beatriz Batarda). Then, using his feet on the stereos he manages to recognise the beats and create the fantastic music he did when able to hear, and some of course praise him for being possibly better deaf. Also starring Kate Magowan as Sonja Slowinski, Mike Wilmot as Max Haggar, David Lawrence as Horst, Neil Maskell as Jack Stoddart, Monica Maja as Charlize Bondo, Paul J. Spence as Alfonse, Pete Tong of course, and DJs Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk and DJ Tiësto. Kaye makes for an alright performance, and the music is very good listening, but it isn't exactly the funniest comedy films I've ever seen. Okay!

Paul Kaye's TV show "Strutter" is great, so I was curious what this movie was like. I was disappointed that it isn't an all-out comedy, but some sort of mix of satire/parody and drama. Considering the world that is being spoofed, i.e. the shallow, moronic world of talentless "world-class" DJs (i.e. button-pressers), this could have been a great comedy in a "Spinal Tap" kind of vein. I have no idea why they opted to spend such a large chunk of the plot on the DJ's mostly drug-induced downfall. The problem was that there were too few gags overall. As in "Strutter", Kaye enjoys playing extremely decadent, on-the-edge-of-total-ruin, frustrated junkies/alcoholics, but in this movie he over-indulges, I got the feeling. The script was written as if to allow Kaye to have as much fun as he can, but the movie is less funny for it.On the other hand, Kaye is a very good actor and interesting to watch, if not always funny due to the movie's dramatic pretensions. Plus, the movie was not dull. There were some sporadic funny/amusing moments; the best one is when he tries to extinguish the fire-crackers he strapped onto his head, and when one of them launches. There were also some brighter moments in the recording studio.And, of course, the idea of a dumb DJ going deaf from all that noise, and then being able to record and perform in spite of total deafness, is a clever premise that mocks this idiotic scene. A logic/inconsistency problem, though, is that this DJ's character doesn't match that of who we're shown in the introduction. Drugs or no drugs, the DJ makes too big of a transformation once he goes deaf and then gets clean. First he is a moron and then he isn't. Would be okay for a comedy, but doesn't quite wash in a semi-drama.

'Pete Tong' is a movie that admittedly grew on me as it went along. I really wasn't getting into this movie, which is about one of the top DJs in the world, and his reaction to becoming deaf. GREAT subject matter. Wasn't quite sure about why I didn't get into the movie as much as I could have at the beginning. Maybe it was because I really didn't care for a character that was filthy rich, takes lots of drugs, parties all the time and is generally scummy. I'm sure that's it. But as we go along, and as he is more accepting of his hearing loss and what to do about it, he really started to grow on me, and I was sort of cheering at the end (but booing at the very end though, the ending sucks). I have no idea who this Paul Kaye is, but let me tell you, he has the most riveting blue eyes I've ever seen, so it's next to impossible to forget someone like him, he makes his character (actually named Frankie Wilde) someone you'll remember. He's very good in this role, and I would like to see some more of him. The supporting cast is alright I suppose, but not really memorable. As a partially deaf man, this was not necessarily the best movie about my condition. I actually prefer DEF, which was a short about a fully deaf teenager wanting to become a rapper. This is a somewhat okay alternative I guess.

The movie was not what I expected at all, really I had no idea what the f**k this movie was until I rented it, I just wanted to check it out, and I loved it, no it's not the most tame movie, and the language is constant, but a great movie, and I believe to be well done... the reason that I like it so much I guess would be the part when he finds out he's deaf, or "going" deaf, and I thought it was kinda sad that his wife left him >:( ah well that's what happens when you do SO much drugs! oh well the CD is pretty sweet... check the movie if are in a good movie and wanna see something that's funny, messed, and definitely politically incorrect, and totally interesting, It's all gone Pete Tong! hard to believe these guys made FUBAR =S
