The summary for this movie makes it sound awful - I hope it's good, though. JJ was my favourite last gen, so I want him to do well.

Have you seen the tv spots for it? It looks godawful. People are saying it's funny so maybe it's just the editing, but it truly looks like one of the worst films ever.

I don't know why they thought it'd be a good idea, Kidulthood and Adulthood were fantastic. /personal gripe lol.

No, I'm Canadian and I doubt it's going to come out here.

I saw Kidulthood, though. It was out of control.

Count yourself lucky lol, it really does just look atrocious. It's supposed to be a comedy/spoof based around the characters Moony and Jay from Kid/Ad (though the ones the play in Anuva don't use the same names, or anything other than the fact that both Adam Deacon and Femi are in the film), so it just makes no sense. Plus it has nothing to do with Noel Clarke who wrote both prior films, and was curated without his consent, so it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

...god, sorry I seem to do nothing but rant here. :| I don't mean to be a pain lol, sorry!

I don't really know the premise of it, but it's the sequel to Kidulthood and Adulthood, right? I've only seen Adulthood but it was really good, so I assumed this would be too. And then I saw the adverts...

How were the first two marketed? This is being shown as a comedy (and a bad one at that) whereas the others were dramas.

It's technically got nothing to do with either films except for the fact that Adam Deacon and Femi are involved, and they played Jay & Moony in the Kid/Adult films. Basically when Noel Clarke (who wrote both, and directed Adult) took a break from twitter, Adam and Femi started joking on there that they wanted to do more -hood, stuff, like a comedy and then started writing it. It all picked up really quickly & by the time Noel came back from his hiatus things were in motion for the film. He was (understandably, in my opinion) raging about it & every since there's been passive aggressive tweets on both sides re: loyalty and other such ridiculousness. (I followed them all at the time which is why I know so much but it got so childish that I don't follow any of them any more ( ... )
