Mullets!!

Rating: 1/10 (12 June 2006)

I went to see this film purely because I am a West Ham fan. I was expecting it to be terrible. Man, I was wrong......it was far worse than terrible. To describe this film as terrible would be an insult to every other film that's ever been described as terrible. I saw it last year when it came out and I plan to watch it again soon, so that I can refresh my memory as to how terrible it is. I'll be adding to this comment when I have.
To compare Charlie Hunnan's accent to Dick Van Dyke's is also a HUGE understatement. In Mary Poppins, DVD sounds like one of the Krays in comparison to Mr Hunnan.
I only chose the one star option, as I didn't want people to think the lack of stars meant that I was undecided or even actually rated the film. If there was a way I could give this film negative stars, then I'd give it minus 10 out of 10! The one positive of this film, is that the flashback scene involved some of the most hilarious make-up and acting I've ever seen. The mullets were a thing of beauty! If this film wasn't so hilariously, appalling, terribly, horrifically bad, then the "I learnt more kicking the crap out of MIllwall fans than I ever could at Harvard" storyline would be wholly offencive. As it is, I did actually enjoy this as one of the funniest films I've ever seen. But as a piece of cinema, it is a disgrace. Who paid for a German woman to write and direct a film about British football violence. Whoever it was, they are as guilty as Alexander for creating a movie that should be considered a stain on the stinking crotch of bad films.
Can't wait to see it again!
