Cemetery Junction (15)

An absolutely ace film, gervais and co don't claim it to be anything more than what it is. As a truly uplifting and visually stunning screen play with perfection in both cast and sound track, this film is epic. Its true there is no explosions and bruce willis doesn't kill any russian terrorists, but if you watch this film with an open mind you will enjoy it. Great to see gervais and merchant working together, gervais is back to his best after a rather bland and bland directorial debut. Best part of the film has to be the karl pilkington pop up, genius. Could have done without gervais actually being present in the film. Of course this film is predictable, I don't think the story would have had the desired uplifting effect if freddy turned out to be a ghost or snork developed testicular cancer. Great film 5 stars.

Dull, hackneyed, predictable, unfunny, banal. I'm surprised it was only 95 minutes, it seemed longer. Disappointing.

There are touches of Our Friends in the North and Play For Today - but all said and done it's not very good and with the cast and a sharper script it could have been a lot better

Enjoyable, with some lol moments, and a slightly rebelious streak. Maybe it could have done with a bit more grit, but any film that features some Led Zep can't be all bad! Good chemistry between the leads.

Seemed like a bad episode of Heartbeat. No real story if you think about oit. Gervais playing the same tired charachter.

some previous gervais films have been a bit of a let down to me but this is really his first big screen project that kept me smiling from start to finish. the plot itself was somewhat predictable but never uninteresting the characters felt at all times real, which drew me in and their are genuine heartfelt moments in the film such as bruce's reconnection with his father. the cast was near enough perfect for what was trying to be achieved, perhaps the only uneccesary performance was from Ricky himself which although at times funny the film was capable of greatness without his input. Gervais' humour often involves his being the butt of the joke which did provide a realistic veiw on race back in the 70s but at no point was this film even slightly racist as it was only their to view peoples awkward response to the odd racial jibe. this film is unlikeley to go down as a classic but its representation of three young men coming of age and finding their own path in life certainly makes it a feel-good light hearted comedy that is well worth watching.

I really enjoyed this film, which came as a bit of a surprise. I'd heard some of the negative comments levelled at this but went in with an open mind (plus there was not much else on). I loved the relationship between the three lads and the whole feel of the film. Having lived through the 70's I can remember a lot of the awful fashion and the feeling that everything foreign was a bit exotic but also a bit scary. I liked the way the film developed and loved the banter between Freddie and Julie. Ok, it won't win many awards and won't push any boundaries back but it is a warm, intelligent film with a fantastic soundtrack and a great young cast. Go see it!!

Brilliant film 5 star. But as dave's comment about the music from 1973. ( observation not a critism) Was the word FIT commonly used to descripe a good looking person in 1973 ?

I think this is the most fantasticly brilliant film i have ever seen in my existance. its better than a jam sandwich, joe i have to say your analogy is simply shiiiiite- NOICE.

Awful. This sorry effort seems to have come from a script knocked out on a lazy Sunday afternoon and, at best, is film-making-by-numbers. Hackneyed, with every coming-of-age cliché being roped in to help, this felt a very dated piece of work and I am not referring to the period setting. At times over sentimental, with stock characters doing the obvious, it manages to be both predictable and surprisingly banal. With an apt title I can only see this abject, wearisome, is-this-ever-going-to-end film being the nail in the coffin of Gervais' and Merchant's foray into this genre of film.
