This could have been great, but the script lets it down. The cinematography is brilliant. The colour grading and edit is fantastic. The story is meh, and the acting could be better. But, for a comedy film, it just wasn't funny.

So Much Potential
Solid idea, poor execution
I was 15 at the turn of the millennium so thought this would be a nice homage to the era and an easy watch. Unfortunately the writing let it down. It just wasn't funny. The journey from North London to South London should provide for an epic tale - everyone I know has got a dozen stories from back in the day about this kind of thing, but this one was a bit tame. Tbh the whole thing just seemed like an attempt to cram as many late 90s references as possible with a pure garage cd playing in the background. A missed opportunity.
Disappointing
I genuinely admire Reggie Yates. All the way from Sunday mornings with Fearne and Dev...to his recent documentaries.
But this was bad. Really bad.
It badly lacked 'polish'. The idea was OK, I guess. Nothing new that hasn't been done before.
Anyway, this came across like it was made by someone that heard about the era from someone...and made a movie about it, without actually being there.
Too much cringe for me...and editing that adds to the cringe.
Sadly, this wasn't the icing on Reggie's cake that I wanted it to be. Over-reliant on the music of the time.
Many better films to watch in this genre.
