Least entertaining British comedy ever.

A wretched excuse for a film.

Kevin, Harry Enfield, and Perry, Kathy Burke, are 15-year-old boys equipped with raging hormones and minimal brainpower. They decide the best place to assuage their libidos is the holiday island of Ibiza, but Kevin`s mum and dad, Louisa Rix, James Fleet, accompany them. On Ibiza, they meet acne-infected girls Candace, Laura Fraser, and Gemma, Tabatha Wady, and also superstar DJ Eyeball Paul, Rhys Ifans. The stage is set for Kevin and Perry to go large.

The Carry On comedies, denounced as stupid in their day, have a cult following now and, indeed, seem quaintly charming when compared to this unspeakably dreadful piece of trash. The film, which sadly was a success in Britain, is a spinoff of Harry Enfield`s tv show, which is obviously a programme to avoid at all costs. It`s firmly in the vein of the vulgar comedies of the Farrelly Brothers, but much less funny and much more revolting. The sight of two mature adults, one of them, Kathy Burke, a notably fine actress, playing utterly moronic teenagers is embarrassing in itself; the plethora of erection jokes, ejaculation jokes, toilet jokes and acne jokes are both tiresome and hideously ugly. After seeing this wretched excuse for a film I felt sad and in some way diminished.
