Sick Product of a Sick System

Just perfect...

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I saw this in 1983 on a Sunday sitting on my mum's laps I live in Luton,Beds 20 years later I saw this again. I still remember all the words. Its another British film that never made it to the USA. To me its like a a version of a John Hughs movie. That may sound odd but thats just me. The mum and dad go out for a party, the kids get to tog her and throw a party. Lots of birds and drink what can go wrong. Lots of things. The actor that made this movie funny, is Toby"Top of Top on" Ha ha classic. Its so 80's. I love that line most of the actors say"Can you smell horese" ha ha. I can kind relate to Toby hes at a party and no one wants to talk to him. I am also love the fact they played Sex Pistols song. SEE THIS

I've watched this film since i was about 12yrs old i'm 29yrs old now and still love it. It really shows a purity of English. And when your parents went to party's while you had a baby sitter you know what they got up to which is pretty cool. Johnny always reminded me of my dad a proper cockney tart (cool fast flash fella!) every character is unique and brilliant i'm so surprised how this film is not well known. whenever i'm a bit down i put this film on and it cheers me up with the many classic lines (top on top off!) and (wild stallion "smells like horses"!) The cast are well known faces of todays television, billy Mitchell (eastenders), Caroline Quentin, Karl know man (flash adverts) tom king (emmerdale) Gary old man (2 point 4 children) and many many more faces. definitely a 10 out of ten for me

Awoke many memories from party's at my mates house when his mum and dad were not there,we were all "fast flash fellas" and my mate also drove a MK3 Cortina.I believe that we all had our own form from "wild stallion" aftershave mine was Brut a Xmas present but I still splashed it all over.This was unfortunately to no avail my mate Micky was always the one who could "pull the birds".This is probably why I could relate with Toby . I am now in my early 40's and living abroad and can not follow what a lot of the British actors are doing now.I try to explain to my brother in law what a cult film this is, this is not very easy as he is German and the humor is very different would be great to see it again on DVD.All the best to the other fans from this film a little it older but still young at heart.

To be honest, i only watched this movie for the sound track! The movie itself, wasn't all that was to be expected though. Personally, I thought they stereotyped the whole free-easy going, alcohol driven teenage thing, but all in all, the cast did try their best, and with a soundtrack like that, who could go wrong?!
