Kenneth (who likes to call himself Kay) begins to realise he's just another wannabe bad boy... even less than a loser in fact. After quitting his job at Laimsbury's, Kay vows to become a respected gangster... or cry trying. A pulls-no-punches, coming-of-age story, centering on one directionless hopeless "shotter", who finds his true worth in the face of urban adversity.

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Steineded How sad is this?
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
jason31-321-904744 Again thoroughly enjoyed another Adam Deacon movie this guy along with Ben Drew are the two most important actors/directors this generation has right now at the moment in my opinion. This movie does exactly what it is supposed to which is to make us laugh our arse off! Anyone who doesn;t find Tyrone hilarious needs a sense of humour transplant immediately? Is this movies a masterpiece? lol of course not its not supposed to be, Has Adam Deacon spent 4 years polishing every single scene just like a Kubrick or Kurosawa movie? Of course bloody not lol. This is a quickly and very cheaply British movie made with realistic dialogue, scenery, costume, music, script, of course it is realistic if it isn;t then how else do the young underclass of Britain dress and talk etc? Its spot on in fact. Now this movie isn't perfect in some places, Fair enough, But this movie is entertaining and makes me want too watch many more Deacon efforts and feel proud that all these talented British actors are giving it a go instead of actually dealing drugs or standing in a job centre. My advice is lighten the hell up when watching these movies ffs. To anyone else who found this movie hilarious good on ya'h. Big well done to Deacon and rest of crew an excellent effort. By the way one last thing this was twice as funny as the original Friday movies just not as polished.
dave-ross390 watched this film as i didn't have much eles to watch last night and wished i watched it sooner now, i am not really into comedys normally its action and i mean action movies, all i did was laugh at this filmn, so funny threw and threw and i rated it 10/10 coz it deserves that score, Adam Deacon who plays the big i am but really he is a nobody runs the film, his part is very good, fast smooth little talker with no back up at all, i will be watching this again coz like i said its so funny and a good story, bit boring story but its the life he is living, you need to watch it to find out, fancy a good comedy then this is your film. only been released 18th march 2011 and already getting the ratings.
The_Movie_Cat Similar sentiments appeared to be echoed by Noel Clarke, as this semi-spoof of his two Hood films caused a clash between Clarke and Adam Deacon on Twitter. It's a shame it overshadows Anuvahood, because it's an easily watchable film that flies along like all good cartoons do, even though it's nevertheless an odd mix.While fairly amusing, subtlety is not in evidence here. Deacon's character works at a supermarket called Laimsbury's and all concerned roll their eyes, overplay their dialogue, exaggerate body language... it's a full on sillyfest where even Big Brother's Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace is on hand to spoof her own Big Brother catchphrase, pretend to receive cunnilingus and reference Mike Tyson. Fun for what it is, if you're prepared to get in on the gag, but never possessing anything remotely resembling reality or intelligence.And yet... fifteen minutes before the end the whole thing changes. Not only are we suddenly supposed to believe in, and care for, Deacon's band of two dimensional comic misfits, but the violence is ramped up. And this isn't comic violence, as demonstrated throughout the film, but sickening, graphic bloodied violence that makes Kidulthood and Adulthood put together appear tame.It's an unusual decision that throws the film completely, like having the climax to Reservoir Dogs serve as an ending to Laurel and Hardy's Way Out West. Sure, other cartoons have gone in for face-distorting occurrences... but after Tom's face was smashed in by an iron he could always put it back to normal two frames later.
Awais This is not a Kidulthood/Adulthood... far from it..It is looks to be a comedy from the trailer, but ends up being a weak comedy-drama.The language in this film is London 'street' for a majority of it and perhaps only suit a certain audience. The characters aren't likable to be honest even the character Kenneth annoys you at times. There are only a few funny scenes. Mostly involving the character Tyrone, but some of it just unintentional.Is it watchable..just about...but once you have you wished you hadn't bothered.The script is poor and you feel you seen it all before, but only better written and acted.
