LouieInLove I simply don't see the purpose of this film. It's called 'We Are Freaks' however there's nothing at all exceptionally different about the characters. I'd say the kids are all normal/verging on fairly dull middle-class youngsters. Perhaps the film should be called: Woo! We're Really Crazy & Mad-Capped Weirdos, Honest!Clearly I'm being ironic with my suggested title, but it is more accurate than 'We Are Freaks'. 'Boring Unoriginal Pre-Accountant Brats' would be another title more in sync with the Characters on screen.There's not much more to be said. A dull story & dull characters in a dull world. Perhaps they are freaks? Not! (early 90s reference there)

leonblackwood Review: I really got tricked by the advert of this movie because it looked quite funny, but after watching it I was really disappointed. I thought that it was going to be about a group of friends that has a mad night out, but they're not even together that much through the movie. It's about the mad situations that each individual character finds themselves in after one night out. One of them ends up babysitting a girl that he fancies, brother. Another one ends up driving around with a girl who steals drugs and the last friend has some severe trouble with his penis. Not the best concept in the world. Anyway, the movie isn't that funny and I lost interest in the characters who I found dull after a while. The script is weak and the whole feel of the film is pretty cheap but on the plus side, it's really short. Disappointing! Round-Up: I never heard of any of the character before so I can't really comment on there overall acting skills. I know that the leading character is quite annoying and the other characters wasn't anything special. The annoying music throughout the movie really got on my nerves and the narrating became tedious after a while. Maybe that is why I hadn't heard anything about the film and why I haven't seen any of these actors before. Anyway, it's not a movie that I will be watching again in a hurry or will I be recommending this to any of my close friends.I recommend this movie to people who are into there buddy movies about a group of friends, in The UK, who get up to mischief on a mad night out. 2/10

Daniel Morris I heard about this film from the press reviews which were generally quite positive for a British comedy, so I thought it might have something to it. I downloaded it while the wife was out and loved it. It reminded me of being young, not fitting in and feeling like a bit of a loser.I expected some kind of Inbetweeners cash-in but its much smarter than that, this is a film with something to say about youth, alienation and Thatcher's Britain. The characters represent different strata of the class system so we have rich kid Chunks who can't take life seriously, middle class Parsons and poor Jack, whose character is interesting because in socio-economic terms he is working class, but miles away from the usual working class Ken Loach clichéd archetype.Its actually a very smart teen movie which subverts all those tropes like the geeky guy getting getting the girl - in this film she turns out to be a pill popping raver with issues. Or the bad boy learning something from a wise youth like in American Graffiti - in this film he kills him accidentally! In the end nobody learns anything which I understand will irritate a lot of people used to the 3-act Hollywood morality play. At least this is something different even if it doesn't always work.The acting is good and its well-directed, a shame it didn't get more of a release but I'm sure its destined to become a cult classic in years to come with kids sitting watching it in their bedrooms smoking dope! I am a Freak!

Red-Barracuda A teenager awaits word on whether he has been accepted to the University he applied for. We watch him and two of his friends – the freaks – embark on an eventful night on the town.Going into this one I was sold mainly on the idea that it was going to be a film about British teenagers in 1990. This would be something I could relate to having been one then and having very fond memories of it. So I was up for a bit of that. Unfortunately for me, We Are the Freaks turned out to be movie that didn't feel very 'early 1990's' at all. Despite a few pointers such as Margaret Thatcher's resignation, a chunky car phone and some music references this could easily have been set in the present day. There was no soundtrack to give the feel of the times; all we got on that front was some utterly pointless references to pop bands of the day.Sadly, pointlessness is a good way of describing We Are the Freaks in general. There are many scenes that go absolutely nowhere and moments that happen for no overall purpose. It heavily feels like a film that is trying to 'be different' at all times, like it's too cool for school. The fourth wall is obliterated within the first few minutes and it's rammed to the gunnels with post-modern techniques that continually remind you that you are watching a movie. All of this would be okay in the right hands, as a skilled film-maker can use these devices to great effect. But We Are the Freaks is pretty poorly made and conceived. The writing is particularly terrible with a script that tries hard to be funny and clever but hardly ever is. The acting seemed under par as well but this may very well be a result of the awful script and the fact that all the characters have no depth to begin with. It's not a term I use much but this is a very self-indulgent movie. In fairness to it it's fast paced and visually interesting at times. But in the main it was a bit annoying to tell the truth.
