The barrel-scraping dash to bring TV comedy to the big screen sours considerably with this crude, unfunny film starring mahogany tanned, mulletted, mouth-breathing Keith Lemon, alter-ego of comedian Leigh Francis (‘Celebrity Juice’, ‘Bo' Selecta!’). The back-of-the-fag packet script sees failed businessman Keith catapulted into an instant fortune after sticking the picture of a lemon on the back of a mobile (like Apple, geddit?). There are 13 year-old boys (you’d hope) who’d squirm at how puerile this is: erection gags, penis enlargement jokes, plus some titty titters to stop it getting too phallic. The constellation of C-listers making cameos (Gary Barlow, Peter Andre, Jedward and a couple of lesser Spice Girls) makes the Olympic closing ceremony look like a meeting a of Pulitzer winners. Career lows all round, then? Except possibly for Kelly Brook, who’s had her fair share – here, as Keith’s new girlfriend, she fellates an asparagus tip.

@Nick Manzi: If 'On the Buses' is your idea of 'Great British Humour', that probably explains why this movie turned out the way it did.

Big fan of celeb juice, but this film was a waste of money, yeahh some bits might have been a tad funny "I'm dripping like a fried egg sandwhich" but wasn't as near as funny as celeb juice, keith is a funny man when it comes natural fto him but written down by who ever wrote the film just made him look like a dork, stupid film!

Captain Crunch. If only the film was as amusing as your review. Sarcasm per chance?

A resplendent homage to Fellini and Truffaut. Dark and dystopian in places but with the gentle intelligent wit of a modern day Herzog. This movie is a munificene of magnanamous majesty, betrothed at it's core to the very fundamentals of a society at one with itself. Keith Lemon, I salute you, sir!

An interesting view from the Producer who very clearly has a huge financial interest in this turkey lasting longer at the box office. Perhaps we can have the stars mum offering her opinion next?

Won't be watching. It looks awful and I've read some pretty toxic reviews. By the way, it's Leigh Francis not Harris.

You're all miserable old farts who do not appreciate modern comedy! This is a work of art by the new generation of TV stars who come together to create a masterpiece of cinema. In years to come, you will look back at your reviews of this film and realise how stupid you were. This is a modern day comedy classic.

The TV show is deeply unfunny so if you paid money to see this you only have yourself to blame. What did expect?
