Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Jackson Booth-Millard I saw clips of this on TV and thought it looked like a reasonable looking comedy, but then I forgot that I had heard about it before somewhere, so I certainly became keen to see it. Basically on the Goonbred Estate somewhere in London lives young wannabe bad boy Kenneth (Kidulthood's Adam Deacon, also directing) or 'Kay' as he prefers to be known, he thinks he has all the moves and swagger, but he is just deluding himself to realities. He works for Laimsburys and ends up getting punched trying to act hard, and he quits his job after being insulted by Russell (Richard Blackwood), followed by his family being skint and bailiffs coming round. Hoping to fix his problems Kay starts selling weed, and when he finds out he is selling on his turf Tyrone (Richie Campbell) starts terrorising Kay and his friends, nicking their money and stuff, including a Sony PSP from Lesoi (Michael Vu), some sneakers from T.J. (Jazzie Zonzolo), a phone from Bookie (Femi Oyeniran) and a Spanish-English journal from Enrique (Ollie Barbieri). Because of him being a wasteman and allowing these things to happen Kay's friends ditch him, and to get them back he decides to sneak into Tyrone's to steal back the stolen stuff, and this is while he is in the house making love to his bitch Maria (Big Brother 7's Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace). Tyrone ends up caught by his real girlfriend Tasha (Little Miss Jocelyn star Jocelyn Jee Esien) having sex, and when he finds out that he was set up by Kay he is vex and goes to beat him up severely, and that is when the friends come aid him, only to end up getting beaten themselves. But Tyrone's boss, one of the biggest serial gangsters in London, shows up and breaks up the fighting, putting him in his place, he tells Kay and his friends if they get bullied by Tyrone or his gang again they should inform him. In the end Kay and his friends have their lives return to normal, he gets his job with Laimsburys back, and he meets the beautiful Shay (Mz Bratt). Also starring Ashley Walters as Cracks, Dennis Pennis's Paul Kaye as Tony, Dead Set's Jaime Winstone as Yasmin, Terry Stone as Terry, Eddie Kadi as Tunde, Jason Maza as Darren, Carmell Roche as Kesha, Birds of a Feather's Linda Robson as Pauline, Smack the Pony's Doon Mackichan as Patricia and Lethal Bizzle as Lloyd. If I didn't know I would think that this film was spoofing all the recent British teenage dramas, Kidulthood, Adulthood and 4.3.2.1 for example, it certainly gives us some great laughs with the stereotypical characters with their chavvy attitudes, street lingo and what they get up to, with a good cast of recognisable actors and a witty and very funny script this is a very watchable urban comedy. Good!

jezebel-j I'm a hard one to make laugh. The Hangover...meh. Shaun of the Dead...OK. Admittedly there are better crafted films, cleverer, snappier, whatever. I don't really like comedy that tries to be too intelligent. What I love is silly, leave your brain at the door, and just make me forget all my workday stress. I like to LMAO. And this doesn't disappoint, AT ALL.I had read reviews...all of them suggested I shouldn't bother watching this. But being the perverse creature I am, and almost in a way WANTING to put it down (I'm a huge fan of the Noel Clarke hoods)I announced last night (to groans) that this was the evening's viewing. I'm so glad I did.Being a 40-something (yeah, that'll surprise your "not for the over-30s" crew) middle class parent of teenagers, I'm already well used to the street slang, and in this film, every single tiny nuance of the culture and language is used to send itself up - brilliantly. Not much of a story, not much of a plot - it doesn't matter. Listen to your own kids speaking to their friends; look at their text talk. It's all here and ridiculed...but in a loving way.Well done Adam Deacon; this was a great debut. It ranks up there with 4 Lions for me. And the next time I have an absolute b****** of a day at work, I might just watch it again ;)The African Traffic Warden is one of the funniest things I have seen in forever. Kudos.

if_time_Was_god Watching Anuvahood, it becomes clear very quickly that Adam Deacon the director was trying to make a British version of Friday, the classic American 'ghetto' comedy. Almost every aspect of the film has been influenced by Friday; for example the theme tune of the neighbourhood bully in Anuvahood is basically the same as the one in Friday but with a beat added to it! However, it doesn't come anywhere near to the brilliance of Friday, not even close! The main problem is that in Anuvahood all the main characters are played so stupidly over-the-top for the whole film (watch it and you'll understand). If you're looking for clever, subtle humour then look elsewhere.Having said all that, Anuvahood does have its moments and overall it was quite entertaining (it is undeniably a unique and quirky film); some bits are VERY funny (my favourite was with the African traffic warden!)and it has some truly disgusting bits (one involving ketchup and feet).However, for most of the film I wasn't laughing, just thinking "Friday is so much better than this."One more thing; if you're not familiar with the slang of the 'gangsters' in London, definitely don't bother coming to see it!

contact-5-318764 I'm not from London but I am from an area in Manchester where I can identify with some of the scenes and the characters.I think there's some excellent observational humour in this which is quite flat and hollow on the surface but if you think about it there's some real depth there.An example is that there's a latent running joke that the gangster teens are either gay or desperate - one of the characters is very camp in his mannerisms and behaviour while one of the key antagonists is ripped and speaks really high pitched but has some interesting secrets....The main character, K is what you'd probably assume is a pretty realistic portrayal of people who are aiming to emulate gang culture - and it's great how he's just a normal person, in fact one that''s not really grown up and fights with his little sister, who he can only get back by being a childish bully and threatening a 10 year old. (funny moment)The serious scenes are softened by some ridiculously odd humour which really works for me and keeps the film light and very funny - literally a laugh a minute for me, and I'm very cynical and judgemental.I know a few people who dress much like some of the characters which makes it all the more real for me, and the music is really well suited.The cinematography is nothing to write home about but the narrative flows very well and the casting is spot on - it all seems to 'fit' neatly together and there's some seriously top notch moments. If you can't take dat den I'll get my boys ;)I'm going to be quoting this for a long time and will be an instant addition to my collection once released on DVD. For fans of Ali G and silly observational humour. "This is too emotional, man"
