Memorable, crazy movie

I'll tell you why so serious

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

As a movie, this does not rate highly, but do not let this put you off, it is HUGELY entertaining.I have shown this to my family/friends and they all think it's brilliant for easy brain-out entertainment that needs little thinking about.Everyone will either know, or be able to guess at the predictable storyline of 2 teenage boys left to go-large on their first adult summer holiday.It takes you through ups and downs, and no matter how many times I watch it, I always find it entertaining. Although I have a digital copy, this is a film I always watch when it appears in the tv listings.

I went to the theater when it first came out because my girlfriend saw the trailer on TV and urged to watch this flick. So we sent the girls shopping and a buddy of mine and myself bought tickets in advance at the box office. The cinema guy looked up, gave us the tickets and said: "Five times the crap?!?" (actually he said sh...). Like I suspected even before he was so right ...Since IMDb forces me to write ten lines of text yet for this 'piece of art' I'm going to repeat myself and point out that neither you shall waste your hard earned money nor you shall waste money that was thrown at you as well as you shall not waste your precious time and brain cells on this dropping of dear animals.Hallelujah!

Who on earth told Harry Enfield that he was funny and should become a comedian? He is second only to Michael Mcintyre as the most annoying comedian on TV. He has made an admittedly successful career out of surrounding himself with real talent and playing off that. Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke are extremely good comic actors who can make anything they do funny - Enfield cannot. He over acts for comic effect and it just does not fly. This film is an abomination and just embarrasses the British film industry . Of course if you are really wedded to knob gags then Kevin and Perry Go Large will appear like Hamlet to you but somehow I do not think so. Any actor involved in this puerile rubbish must squirm when they are reminded of it. It seems that actors will do anything just to work. The Kevin and Perry thing actually did work on TV mainly thanks to Kathy Burke and the shortness of the sketches but as a film it is beyond awful. I just cannot believe that this thing got finance to be made.

'Kevin & Perry Go Large' is a really successful follow up to Enfield and Burke's original TV characters. There is always an ever present danger with feature length adaptations of TV shows, in that they'll not always transfer onto the big screen with quite the same clout (Think Family Guy).BUT, K&P have done very well.So maybe the content is crude, but quite frankly it's a perfect reflection of youth culture abroad (yet obviously within a slanted comedic context). People do go to such destinations as Ibiza, Malia, and Ayia Napa and they DO lose their moral code.K&P is if not anything else, a depiction of REAL youth culture.Whether it glorifies that culture or not is up for debate. I'd argue that it doesn't as I feel that Enfield's character rather pokes fun at the naivety of youth, and whilst I've been partial to my own dalliances in nutty behaviour, I can sense a critical undertone in the Kevin character.The film is funny, and the plot is definitely good enough to keep you watching. As a pre-pubescent teen at the first time of watching, I found the film better then, than perhaps I would do now - but I know I could always whip out the DVD, watch it, and enjoy it time and again.Enfield and Burke were obviously well versed in their roles, but as always too the Mum and Dad characters played by James Fleet and Louisa Rix, were fantastic. Their uppish standards and typical parental attitudes are thrown out the window in Ibiza, and the denigration of these standards not only shocks, but humours you too.Eyeball Paul (Rhys Ifans) is a refreshingly crude character, and the relationship between him and the boys is one of the anchors of the flick. Typically Ifans plays the role with precision, taking any subtleties and throwing them straight out the window.All in all, K&P is a good film, but perhaps nothing but. It's hard to tell whether it's supposed to be a no hold barred comedy, or a tongue in cheek critique on British society. Am I supposed to take the film seriously? Or not? For that reason, I've given it six out of ten.
