To get straight to the point just please don't watch this film. I know you read see this on reviews a lot but this genuinely is the worst film I've ever seen! Normally I can tolerate a bad film as I can understand that the writers had an idea and unfortunately it hasn't worked out as they had planned. In the case of this film there can't of been a plan. The plot has no structure (or actual point), script is all but non existent and the acting is shocking. I decided to watch this one Saturday night as it was a new title with an on demand service and I really wish I could have my time back. I didn't want to just write a negative review but attempting to find a positive from this showing, for me, is impossible. My advice if you're really looking to kill time is to go find a wall of wet paint and watch it dry. I promise it will be more entertaining
... View MoreI'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.
... View MoreBritish 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).
... View MoreIt seems like this film is getting a lot of flack from critics, so thought I'd come on here and set the record straight.If you want a film that is deep, thought provoking, post-modern and reflective of British Cinema; don't bother. If however, you want 90 minutes of laughter and chaos then this is the film for you.With a stellar cast and amazing music soundtrack, Big Fat Gypsy Gangster has given comedy a kick up the backside and finally provided us with a film that is funny. None of this laughing under your breath maybe once or twice in the whole film, this will have you in stitches throughout.I wish some of these critics would give this comedy credit for what it actually is: a really funny film. The makers have made something that's hilarious, so there's no need to over analyse it.I can't think of one film in recent years that has made me laugh like this one. Yes, there are flaws in the script and blah blah blah but to put it simply, this is a gangster comedy and Big Fat Gypsy Gangster does what it says on the tin! Job Done.
