Kevin & Perry Go Large

'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.

I had just been on vacation with some of my friends and we had been out clubbing every night.So we really had the feel for this movie.We also like this kind of humor.The soundtrack in the movie is great and Kevin and Perry is just hilarious.They are so stupid that it is cool.

Music on another level film what a cracker eyeball Paul Dave ducker get in

Considering the TV show sketches stretch to a few minutes the director actually did a very good job in stretching it to over 80m without it becoming boring.A few good cameo appearances from several well known actors on TV and you`ve got a good blend of stupid,watchable entertainment.My only slight niggle was who was the film actually aimed at.My point being the 15 cert,and considering alot of fans are probably below that age. Rating 8/10.

A strange and bizarrely captivating movie that one thinks couldn't possibly be made if the main character didn't already have a cult following.

Sort of like the Inbetweeners movie is they were a cartoon and twice as good (which still isn't amazing quality), Kevin is a boorish parody of youth with delusions of grandeur and Perry is his gullible friend. They are both played with a veteran professionalism by two middle aged actors.

Crude, often excruciating and frequently gross, it's so shameless in its juvenility that it's sort of hard to look away.

I almost had my fill of Kevin berating his parents by the midway point but I must admit it was sweet to see them pursue two girls almost as clueless as them and it all end satisfyingly.
