If you're a fan of Bulla it's a must see.Great performance by Ricky Grover.We need Bulla back on the box.Thoroughly enjoyed it. I think that it showed that Bulla has a lot more depth than you could ever get across on the shorts that he made his trademark on the 11 0'Clock show. One of the funniest parts of the film for me personally was the part where the old boxing manager is bemoaning the advent of cage fighting and Bulla responds to descriptions of cage fighting incidents of eye gauging and biting with "but that's a beautiful thing.I can't see anything wrong with that.A sport has to evolve. I also laughed out loud when Bulla stabs the reporter in the arm with an infected needle to make sure he's listening. I have seen a couple of bad reviews but I think it's from people who don't appreciate alternative comedy and don't like to think to deeply or listen too closely in order to take in irony. For me it was a long awaited must see and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
British comedy is accepted throughout the world as the best because it doesn't treat the viewer like an idiot. While idiots may not get it the rest of us will find this a hilarious comedy. I love watching comedies like this where you are not constantly being told when to laugh by the movie company. There are moments in this film when you will be rolling on the floor with laughter (idiots excluded). And all this on a budget of only £1.3m is to be applauded. When you compare it to bigger budget productions that were not even as close to being this funny it does make you wonder why they bother? I know, the answer is money. Big actors draw big crowds. But seriously, if you can just forget about all that and enjoy a movie then pick this one. Great acting, great lines. You will laugh (idiots excluded).
The second worst Britsh movie I have ever seen - which is going some as the modern Brit movie crowd only deal in cliché when it comes to the flicks. You even get a bunch of smug posh people lurching round big old houses or a gang of awful 'villains' with cameos from plastic gangsters and soccer players.
For some reason most Brit movies feel like they have been made up by a bunch of self satisfied tits talking utter bs in some rich fool's over sized kitchen after a night out drinking Vodka Gimlets in Soho and snorting poorly washed cocaine.
Oh...wait a minute.
Propa Norty Geezahs. -10.

I gave up on this after half an hour, no jokes at all, a complete waste of time. A bit like watching some mates doing a home video version of Eastenders only worse. I can't believe anyone would release this. Lots of 10/10 reviews here that must be fake. Ricky Grover cannot act to save his life. This film is so bad I'm compelled to warn people to avoid it. Big Fat piece of turd would be a better title. It stinks. Watch the fast show mock up cockney barrel of monkeys if you want some cockney gangster comedy. Why do you have to write 10 lines to review this when one word will do fine. For gods sake just let me submit the bloody review.
I've watched this film through from end to end four times now....seriously I have and every time I've discovered more laughs that I've somehow missed from the previous viewings.
In addition to which I've had two friends call up to say "Did you see that bit.....!!!!!" which I didn't....so I'm going to watch it again.
Have to say this is a refreshing, mad "British" comedy with a great cast which in my opinion we've been missing over recent years....and I would hazzard a guess will become one of those cult classics that we in the U.K. are known for.
My two sons think it's brilliant and are now walking around with dark glasses repeating parrot fashion most of the lead character "Bulla's" lines......something my friends and i did as youngsters with "Monty Python".
Very very funny.....not P.C. in the slightest....and thank god for that..!!!!! about time someone had the balls to make something off-the-wall and what highlights what we all really do find funny and are to frightened to laugh at because of all the "do-gooders" out there telling us it's "anti this or anti that".....good on you guys for getting this out there.
