I was really disappointed with this film. It could have been really good. Maybe it could have actually challenged stereotypes of black inner city 'yoot' and inner city communities using the force of comedy or being actually funny; making fun of inner city 'yoot?' What we have instead is this abomination. A boring played out storyline full of played out stereotypes. It doesn't even feel like a film. It feels like some TV comedy on Channel 4 or BBC3. If you're over 15 and don't live on or near an inner city council estate then you won't find this funny whatsoever. The only people i've heard like this film are the people (or kids) the film is making fun of. Even worse, if you live out of London or some inner city estate in Manchester or Birmingham or know the 'grime music' references you just won't understand and get some of the jokes. Speaking of the jokes it's all 'we've heard it all and seen it all before' territory. So much more could have been done when Kenneth (Adam Deacon) sneaks into his rival's flat for his stuff back. The characters are so unlikeable too. They just seem so cliché, like they were just thrown together quickly after watching Kidulthood, a load of documentaries of 'kids on London Estates' and listening to a load of Wiley and 1xtra. They're also really stereotype and, well... stupid and annoying. Lots of comedies have played on stereotypes in the past, but this is just boring as hell. I could go as far as it feels a bit racist. Every character either instantly forgettable or so embarrassing you wish their character dies as every joke is taken a bit too far. The sex scene for example is something that is just cringeworthy. This film just makes you wanna watch 'Friday' instead. At least the storyline of that film was entertaining and Chris Tucker and Ice Cube were really likable and played their roles well. Don't bother watching this film. It insults the intelligence of the audience. Adam Deacon has potential as an actor, but definitely not as a director.

being a fan of this genre of film i was looking forward to watching this...i now wish i hadn't bothered! poor plot line, massively overacted and very little to substance to the so called 'jokes' if you are not from the uk (and even if you are!) it is very difficult to understand the plot to this film. i still think that adam deacon is a talented actor when he is not so much in the lead role (see 4,3,2,1 and adulthood) but his first attempt at film making leaves a lot to be desired! the only saving grace and why i didn't give it a lower score than i did was the soundtrack which contains some up and coming and already established British music acts.

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Kenneth (Adam Deacon) likes to try and play the big man, but his front usually gets dashed pretty quickly. Unable even to hold down a simple job at a super-market (Laimsbury's!), he takes abuse from his mouthy mum who's fallen behind with payments and having trouble from the bailiffs, and has to duck and cover from the hyper hard man on the estate who's out to put him down. Until a chance encounter dealing some stolen weed brightens his prospects a bit, as well as making a new friend in a Spanish relation of his uncle's. But it's all building up to go wrong, leading Ken to a final showdown that will test his will as a man.Kidulthood and Adulthood have become cult films of their time, high-lighting the modern 'urban street culture' a lot of the modern youth follow, in particular the fashion sense and slang. So Adam Deacon, star of both films, is in a good position to make a film sending them up. Which is why it's so surprising the result is such an amateurish effort, that fails where something like Ali G Indahouse worked. Both of Noel Clarke's sink estate dramas aimed to pull no punches and dive into the unflinching underclass of 21st century Britain. This meant that, while good films in themselves, they were mostly quite downbeat, grim viewing. So it was welcome that the next 'hood' effort would be a more light hearted affair. Sadly, you can see most of the jokes coming a mile off, and too much of it feels forced and over the top, with inconsistent characters, including a villain like Wesley Snipes from Demolition Man on steroids, and some random, pointless characters being introduced and then never heard from again. That's not to mention most of the dialogue being spat out so ridiculously loud and fast you'd do well to pack some Alka Seltzer on your trip to see it. A disappointing mess. **

This is not a Kidulthood/Adulthood... far from it..It is looks to be a comedy from the trailer, but ends up being a weak comedy-drama.The language in this film is London 'street' for a majority of it and perhaps only suit a certain audience. The characters aren't likable to be honest even the character Kenneth annoys you at times. There are only a few funny scenes. Mostly involving the character Tyrone, but some of it just unintentional.Is it watchable..just about...but once you have you wished you hadn't bothered.The script is poor and you feel you seen it all before, but only better written and acted.
