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!!!!!

... The only difference being I'd get some pleasure before the vomiting from that. I had to watch this in sessions because I could only take so much of the badness at once. The bar wasn't exactly set high to begin with, what with the awfully painful dream at the start and then shoehorned celebrity cameos in the titles; in fact the most realistic reaction a person would have to Keith Lemon is portrayed in one of these cameos by Emma Bunton.There is a saying in catering that "the first bite is with the eye". Basically dress up an idea so it looks good to the person you're persuading. That statement is something that Francis has clearly never taken heed of as asking a woman to perform a sex act on him by saying "could you nosh me off" isn't exactly dressing up the act with any persuading imagery.Watch if you have an IQ so low that watching Playdays feels as mentally challenging as a dissertation.Also how big an ego do you have to start your film with you having sex with a model? I state that because Keith Lemon doesn't so much feel like an act from Framcis as an excuse to be crass with no redeeming features and get away with it.

Popularly viewed as one of the best British films ever made, the multi- generational comedy Keith Lemon The Movie is a touchstone of cinema: one of the most widely imitated, quoted, and lampooned movies of all time. Keith Lemon and Kelly Brook star as Keith Lemon and Kelly Brook, respectively. It is the late 2000s in London and Keith is, in the parlance of organized comedy, a "godfather" or "don," the head of a Lemon family. Unfortunately not nominated for any Academy Awards and not winning for Best Picture, Best Actor (Keith Lemon), or Best Adapted Screenplay, Keith Lemon The Movie will hopefully be followed by a pair of sequels.

it's rare you see a film that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever; keith lemon is beyond awful.if you gave a bunch of 14 year old kids a camera and told them to make a film for a class project, they'd do something better than this. rubbish script, random z-listers having a go at acting, shot and edited in a way that would make a random youtube video look like citizen kane. hasselhoff is not funny - ever, neither are jedward, thinking you can charge money for people to watch them is an insult to the audience. why anyone would think this should have a cinema release is beyond me. i was dragged along not really knowing what i was going to see; i wish i'd stayed at home a stuck pins in my eyes.
