Keith Lemon: The Film Trailers

With dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur just like his beloved Richard Branson, Lemon bids farewell to his hometown of Leeds and heads for the capital. When he becomes an overnight billionaire, it seems everything is going his way, but it's not long before he discovers that life can be just as cruel as it is kind.

(Originally seen a few years ago) There's not much to say, the ratings on this occasion speak for themselves, 2.6 is a rarity on IMDb, you know what it means and I agree with the people trashing this piece of cow dung. I turned it off after forty something minutes, as it was painfully embarrassing and didn't understand what comedy was, and Keith Lemon who is a likable, rather funny guy on his TV shows absolutely makes a mockery of himself here, proving he cannot make a feature length film with any decent jokes whatsoever; it's vulgar, cringeworthy, unfunny and one of the worst comedies ever made, a film to avoid like the plague. 0/10

I didn't bother going to see this movie because I was told it's a load of crap and people walked out half way though the movie it was that bad. I was thinking to buy this movie on DVD but thought what's the point I will be wasting my money and I was right. When this movie came on the TV I taped it and watched it later on and what a load of crap and I thought everyone was right. Note to Keith Lemon don't make another movie just stick to Celebrity Juice and Through The Key Hole. I doubt this movie did very well at the box office but again people might of got caught out and money wasted. I wonder if Keith will look back on this movie and think okay that movie is a load of crap.

I'll be the first to admit that I am a Leigh Francis fan. I really enjoyed Bo Selecta (even though it clearly wasn't for everyone) and I also like Celebrity Juice - I'm not a die hard fan and haven't seen every single episode, but if it's on then I will watch it. It's always risky adapting a small screen idea to the big screen, but when done right it can work (Sacha Baron Cohen's Da Ali G show started out as a channel 4 show that worked well as a big screen adaptation when he released Ali G in Da House which was an incredibly funny film. Likewise, we had Harry Enfield and Chums and then Harry Enfield and Friends adapted to the big screen as Kevin and Perry Go Large - another big screen film that I enjoyed). Presumably, this was Leigh Francis' attempt at appealing to a wider market and I'm sorry but this is an 'Epic Fail'.I knew before watching this that Francis would go for the jugular and go for all out crudeness as his way of generating humour - which he clearly does. I have no problem with crude humour, but geez if you're going to go down this road at least make it either funny or original (or preferably both), but Francis seemingly decides to do neither.I'll admit that I was a little bit concerned when we're quickly introduced by his Craig David character from Bo Selecta in a somewhat pointless cameo - it was funny 10 years ago, but it's kind of lost its appeal now. I suspect that those that haven't seen Bo Selecta may find those scenes involving the addition of Bo Selecta characters funnier than those that are familiar with them (such as me), but either way it's still pretty lame. It didn't help that the jokes are fairly repetitive (the gag with the Spice Girls and "you're my favourite Spice Girl" was pretty lame). We also have the same joke repeated regarding the Gary Barlow, Ronan Keating & Simon Pegg confusion - it might have worked a bit better if Simon Pegg would have appeared in the film, but I'm assuming that he had the common sense to steer clear of this mess.Even when Francis plays his 'trump' suit - ie vulgar humour he still manages to get this wrong - there was nothing original, nothing that was funny - pretty much all the gags fell flat.It didn't help that the story made no sense and was completely ridiculous (yes it's a Keith Lemon film so I didn't expect it to be entirely coherent), but come on. This film insults the audience intelligence by having us believe that placing a Lemon on the back of a phone will make it a world wide seller. Yes his surname is Lemon, but outside of this I didn't understand what was funny or what made this a big seller? Perhaps I missed the joke or maybe there was some hidden irony? Who knows? It was lost on me. The plot twist regarding this is even more absurd. Francis also parodies other films such as Candyman and The Shining, but again fails to be innovative in this respect.The only reason that this film got a 2 instead of a 1 is because there were occasional moments when Francis seemed to remember the 'less is more' approach - the destination on the bus saying 'T'Leeds' (which is a parody on how those from the North of England speak for those that are unaware of the joke) and Peter Andre speaking to Jason Donovan saying 'Singing is not for me' were subtle moments of humour that were actually quite funny. The 2 villains of the piece not wanting to miss their favourite reality programmes was also quite funny. There was also one karaoke members choice of song for his wife that also made me laugh.Yes, ladies and gentleman this is a terrible film and really isn't worth seeing. I think the main problem is that Francis doesn't have enough ideas to stretch a film even past its relatively short 85 minute running time. He recycles jokes throughout, uses characters that he used 10 years ago (wouldn't be a problem if they were any different from 10 years ago). Another problem is that Francis became annoying for the most part and really does go to show that his Keith Lemon is best handled in small doses. It's not the worst film ever made, but it is pretty damn Schhh11111tttttt!!!!!

I came on here and saw a Tsunami of negative reviews? i was 50/50 if i should watch it? all i can say is its Pretty good! the story could of been better BUT if your after a film with lots of famous actors this is it! They could of done more with it and asked the actors what they thought would of worked? Anyways its a small bag of laughs for sure plenty of boobs in it so not for kids and lots of swearing in it which i wasn't aware of? the plot is a spoof one so not to be taken seriously also there is a mixture of American humor and English which does work really well & its really easy to see it does, i don't think i would watch it again as i did get bored half way into it but as a first timer its worth the watch
