Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

magnumco It was always the filmmakers intention to give this film the look of a well lit, Hollywood style movie and I must thank them for that because they succeeded in that endeavor. Too often, British films will be poorly lit with blown highlights and detailess shadows and then try to get away with it claiming that it was deliberately done for an artsy look. That fools nobody and the makers of Neils Party are to be commended for paying great attention to this important detail in film-making.The films storyline will be understood by anyone who can still remember their own 18th year and though it might be predictable at times it succeeds because of strong performances from the young cast. The performances come across as realistic and believable. it doesn't appear forced or over the top.To use the American vernacular, it's a cute film and a very good first effort for the filmmaker. it brings a new look to a part of Britain that's rarely shown, not the gritty working class landscape nor the affluent manor houses that have become tiresome exports this past decade. Instead, we are treated to a view of life in a rural market town albeit from an area with the highest real estate values in Britain.

gina-221 A delightful cast of inept characters showing the wild side of Uckfield, East Sussex! The movie engages us in the world of sexual desperation and peer pressure on the eve of leaving home for University. Who ever said it was easy being young! Smart pacey dialogue and laugh out loud gags make this fresh look at the UK pre-college scene ideal for a 'good night in' with friends. In the growing world of indie film-making Neil's Party shows that budget isn't everything and that a unique take on a familiar story makes for real entertainment and clever film-making can deliver high production values on screen. Well done to the filmmakers - I'm looking forward to whatever is 'coming soon' from this talented team.

Pavan Katepalli If you are a fan of the American Pie series, then you will not only be disappointed with this movie, but appalled by the bland humor. The movie did have its times though. The nudity was half wonderful, but not as good as American Wedding. I laughed plenty during American Wedding and got very excited during a lot of parts (if you know what I mean), but I did not have that same sense of pure enjoyment as I did while I watched Neil's Party. The audio was poorly done. Every time someone talked, you heard some static in the background. Since everyone was buying liquor legally. There was just no fun in it. Big deal everyone was drinking. Anyone 18 years old could do that. Neil is a weak skinny loser just like all his friends. American Wedding is so much better.

errolwellington I had the pleasure of catching a sneak preview of Neil's Party last summer when it was shown during the SweetHD event at the Edinburgh Festival. What a little gem of a teen comedy, and from an English production team already! Although a low-budget effort by US standards it really goes to show how you can stretch a buck...er, well, pound then, when there's a neat idea and enthusiastic artistes behind you. The young cast managed to bring a welcome freshness to their roles & the guys in particular really nailed the snappy one-liners to the mast. Shan't spoil the best gag in the film, sufficed to say the Farrelly Brothers now have some fresh competition. The look of the film was also a welcome change from the usual 'grim, gritty' fare we get in the indie UK market - it was all snappy, clean colours and bright high-key scenery. Although this was a work in progress back when, I gather the production team have finished post-prod and the film is now with a US sales agent. Keep an eye out for this one on the VHS/DVD shelves; well worth a look-see if you're tired of the UK faux-gangster genre now swamping the known world.
