I have been quoting this film for the last 19 years and it still makes me laugh today, I recognise that it is very much of its day however I do know of a 21year old who puts this on a list of his favourites too. "See this ear........plastic" the lines just go on and on. don't watch this expecting to see citizen cane, watch it for what it is, a funny silly snapshot of adolescence in the suburbs of London in the 80s. Great fun spotting the cast members Lookout for Wicksy,Billy Mitchell, Jacko and a very young Caroline Quentin. I wish i still had my MK 3 Cortina! or was I the "fast flash passenger" i love it

(Being released on DVD in UK early February 2005) It has been shown on at least one occasion on British terrestrial television and I remember film critics slaughtering it in the TV guides. (Stick to the period drama boys & girls.) If you want to know what life was like for (us) ordinary London teenagers in the 80's, find this and enjoy. Well established British actors with acne, a microcosm of my life back in the day. Dodgy sets, dodgy acting, dodgy continuation, very entertaining nevertheless!!! Food fights, real fights, queues for the toilet, going upstairs for a quickie. A sizzling soundtrack of the day showcasing pop-punk, Bowie and the like. Wild Stallion anyone? Memories.......

This film is the most dumbest, rubbish film I have ever ever seen. It was worse then a night at the Roxbury (which in itself was one of the worst excuses for a film ever)Only my drunken gibbon of a mate Lee liked it.Awful, truly awful.People who like this should watch good films like Ghost Dog, Way of the Samurai.
TERRIBLE

A sort of British prequel to "Animal House", except that British teenagers relationship with alcohol seems to be more serious than their US counterparts. Almost a series of vignettes featuring early performances from a number of British actors now very familiar on UK TV screens. Some hilarious moments (...the young policemen promising their sergeant that they will "get p***ed in a responsible fashion"), but much of the humour will be lost on crossing the Atlantic. Best viewed with a plentiful supply of beer and peanuts.
