Sumotherhood

I had looked forward to this film I knew what I was getting silly comedy nothing to serious. I liked anuverhood it was strong. Sadly there was to much shouting and swearing in this. Some of the characters are just silly they add nothing the cameo's add nothing really a lot of the lines are recycled from other films and it almost like a slight pause after saying them as if to say look what we just said.

I do think Adam Decon can write something better than this something stronger funnier.

It makes a change not to have all these hard hitting gang films though. If you want to remove ya brain and zonk out this film is for you you won't remember it a few days after seeing it.

Annoying, cringy and REALLY not funny even though the acting and storyline tried sooooo hard to be funny. I'm sure all the celebrities that got tricked into appearing in this feel a little ashamed to be associated with this failure deep down. I'm sure their aspirations were the complete opposite to the finished product. Adam Deacon shouldn't have tried to use "hood" at the end of any of his film titles to try and borrow clout; making people think it has anything to do with Noel Clarke's well written trilogy. Adam needs to figure out what year it is and stop living in the past. I would have given the storyline grace if it was written by a secondary school child/group of friends 10 years ago. I think his blame game has come to an end now.... this film was self-sabotage at it's best! SMH (this waste of time was so bad, I kept stopping myself from turning it off and then made my very first film review)

I wasn't expecting this to be amazing but thought it would at least be funny from the trailer. This was definitely wrong. Don't get me wrong, there were a few funny moments and an unexpectedly bizarre cameo from Jeremy corbyn that made me laugh, but overall the directors were trying way too hard and it just fell flat. If they hadnt tried to force the comedy so much it could had worked, but instead it just felt overdone and cringey. I felt genuinely bored for most of it as did my partner and the majority of the cinema...a packed screening and probably heard about 2 laughs the entire time. I'm rating it 3 stars to match the 2 laughs I had and 1 for the cameos. Don't waste your time on this poor attempt at nostalgia.

This movie is the definition of that one student in secondary school whose whole humour consists of repeating and rinsing the same jokes over and over, but now attempts to make a full career out of it. I think due to this, as well as the fast pace, that some of the jokes land half ass or don't sink in very well leading to really dull segments. The forced in lingo gets tiresome within the first 20 minutes to the point making you think if the script was either AI generated or written by the same people who wrote the last season of Top boy. Fortunately there were moments within the movie(particularly the first half) where the jokes were genuinely funny.

Was gonna give it a 4 but it was genuinely good to see faces from the old YouTube 2011 era such as the two main characters themselves and others( Diary of a Badman, Smokey barbers and Black and Brown). Not to mention the acting is top notch and the budget was utilised well.

Overall it's a film I would recommend to watch once and not numerous times.

You know how Home Alone 1 and 2 are timeless classics...and every other Home Alone after them have been absolute abominations...

Well that's exactly what we have here with 'Sumotherhood'. Kidulthood and Adulthood were brilliant, but every spin-off since has been pure garbage.

Appearing to be written by school kids on a bus home from school...unfunny, OTT stereotypes, forced, pointless cameos, almost zero story...the whole thing is just WACK!

I literally only laughed ONCE, during the Ed Sheeran scene...he was only on for about 45 seconds...and the fact that he was the best thing in the entire film, tells you all you need to know.

These guys are living in the past and trying way too hard to keep this franchise alive.

Get some professional writers, start a new project ..and move on!
