Directed by Geoffrey Sleight

Genre: Comedy
Date: 2009

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

Logline: An east end Londoner tells it like it is down the local chippy.

It was only a matter of time before this Sleight got a review. I've come across his stuff before. A similar work of him standing ranting some obtuse story to camera. This could possibly be a dire attempt to showcase his writing and acting abilities. In which case, I encourage you not to watch this film. It's like buying fur, the web page hits will only encourage him to keep making more.

Apart from the cheap home video set up, the uninteresting kitchen background and shoddy camera microphone audio, Sleights narration of what sounds like a high school drop outs Saturday night is droll, long winded and unconvincing. For a comedy, you'll find it hard to find anything funny about the material. Sleight's performance on the other hand...

I imagine Sleight has jumped on the Guy Ritchie bandwagon and is trying to sell his east end authenticism to the world. If he's lucky, he'll maybe get a job as a (hopefully non-speaking) extra on Eastenders. Waste of webspace me thinks.

Best Bit: Sleight's authentic dental work. Should probably have eaten some 'apples an pears' as a child.

Worst Bit: The comedy. Or lack off.

Final thought: What's he going back to the chippy for? He's standing in his kitchen, the lazy git.
