Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

jackstomlinson Love this movie and great acting!Looks good, hilarious subtle comedy, and you hate a character in the beginning that you end up loving at the end.Stupendous job.

SnoopyStyle It's a mockumentary of DJ Frankie Wilde (Paul Kaye) who is well known within the Ibiza club scene. He marries video vixen Sonja Slowinski (Kate Magowan). Then he disappears for a year. Nobody knows why, but he's actually gone deaf.I didn't like this style of mockumentary. It has those short interview clips to drive the narrative. Unless the individual characters are funny or crazy, it doesn't add any comedy to the movie. I'm not usually a fan of narrations, and this is the worst of them. Paul Kaye does an engrossing performance as the wild DJ. The biting satire of the clubing world doesn't always draw blood. But Kaye's performance does.

jduffin9 I have read a couple of reviews that said that it is a tough first act or that they did not like the first part of the movie. I just thought I'd give another perspective.I LOVED the first act. It is a great dark comedy/mockumentary in the mold of Christopher Guest on various pharmaceuticals. In fact, at first I was let down by the second part because it was much more straight forward and uplifting, yet not as entertaining. But after further review, I think it was necessary and makes it a complete movie.I just stumbled on to this movie but will look out for anything by Paul Kaye, or the director/writer Michael Dowse in the future.Who hasn't had bad speed?

polyethylene7 This film is hands down EXCELLENT. Perfect casting, great acting, funny and touching plot, and great script and cinematography. This is the best "mockumentary" I have seen, next to Spinal Tap, and anyone who enjoys FUBAR should see this movie (same director), and vice versa. You don't have to enjoy dance music to enjoy this film. The movie works on many levels: as an overall comedy parodying the lifestyle of an off-the-wall British DJ, as a commentary on the perils of hearing loss in the music business, as a mockery of the hedonistic, reckless lifestyle which pervades the island of Ibiza (all night partying, drinking, and snorting), and as a critique of wealth, materialism, and greed in the music industry. Mostly, however, this film is just enjoyable to watch and offers something to anyone with a good sense of humour and a penchant for the mockumentary genre. Plus, this film is (partly) a Canadian production, from a Canadian director! Vive le Canada!
