willcundallreview Rating-4/10Anuvahood is an urban film which is meant to be a comedy but completely misses the marks it set's itself and then becomes a juvenile effort at being a drama. Set in London somewhere it is also a crime drama and even trying at that seems under average and poor, but let me tell you more thoroughly why it is a very poor and under average movie.The story is not the worst I have ever seen but because it is a comedy film it makes the story seem stupid and the characters are also really silly. It moves at a fast enough pace for you to get through it and not be completely bored but by the end you feel you have wasted some of life watching this, but still go ahead and watch it, I am sure someone may like it. Finally on the story it is not dramatic either and fails to dramatise anything, well actually it is badly dramatic probably describes it better.Adam Deacon can be a fine actor and usually we see him urban roles but in this he fails and although he is not too bad in this film, the story ruins any chance of anyone in this doing well at acting. I found some of the supporting cast boring and as if they have been plucked from an over dramatic soap, also the villain is ridiculous who although acted well in the comedy role was not funny himself and ruins again any chance of humour, just plain average acting overall.I hated the script and is the biggest reason I didn't enjoy this film with it's stupid lines that are meant to be humour and when you finally think a thrilling part is coming out it turns out to be bad humour. In all the mess I enjoyed some of the sets they used for fights and running scenes which actually worked well with what was going on in this Urban setting. Finally Directing was superbly average and not the worst thing by a long shot, but not good either.The only truly positive thing from this film was the more emotional part of the film where Kay played by Adam Deacon is sad to hear his family have no money and the emotion the family give off is also sad because you can see they want there son to help but he is too greedy with his own money to give it over. Other than the emotional part not much else to say at all in positivity.I think people may like it if they have seen films like Kidulthood or Adulthood but it has more cheek like Kidulthood and of course Deacon features in these and in comedy type role in both. I am also sure someone will find it funny because I have seen worse films that people like also so it would be no surprise to see someone excited and thrilled by this.Overall it is Very Poor if not a wholly Bad movie coming in at a rating of 4/10 ,to be fair it is a strong one of that, but goes down due to what I said. I think it is far from the worst film ever and parts are enjoyable I guess like the beginning so just watch it for yourself and see what you think about it all, it may have damaged the London Urban film market but that market of films can produce some fantastic pieces as well.
jason31-321-904744 Again thoroughly enjoyed another Adam Deacon movie this guy along with Ben Drew are the two most important actors/directors this generation has right now at the moment in my opinion. This movie does exactly what it is supposed to which is to make us laugh our arse off! Anyone who doesn;t find Tyrone hilarious needs a sense of humour transplant immediately? Is this movies a masterpiece? lol of course not its not supposed to be, Has Adam Deacon spent 4 years polishing every single scene just like a Kubrick or Kurosawa movie? Of course bloody not lol. This is a quickly and very cheaply British movie made with realistic dialogue, scenery, costume, music, script, of course it is realistic if it isn;t then how else do the young underclass of Britain dress and talk etc? Its spot on in fact. Now this movie isn't perfect in some places, Fair enough, But this movie is entertaining and makes me want too watch many more Deacon efforts and feel proud that all these talented British actors are giving it a go instead of actually dealing drugs or standing in a job centre. My advice is lighten the hell up when watching these movies ffs. To anyone else who found this movie hilarious good on ya'h. Big well done to Deacon and rest of crew an excellent effort. By the way one last thing this was twice as funny as the original Friday movies just not as polished.
dave-ross390 watched this film as i didn't have much eles to watch last night and wished i watched it sooner now, i am not really into comedys normally its action and i mean action movies, all i did was laugh at this filmn, so funny threw and threw and i rated it 10/10 coz it deserves that score, Adam Deacon who plays the big i am but really he is a nobody runs the film, his part is very good, fast smooth little talker with no back up at all, i will be watching this again coz like i said its so funny and a good story, bit boring story but its the life he is living, you need to watch it to find out, fancy a good comedy then this is your film. only been released 18th march 2011 and already getting the ratings.
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!
