Cemetary Junction

It gets three stars in the Guardian but gets the comment that it "looks weirdly like a US coming-of-age movie about three American teens skilfully transplanted to a Brit setting". That's what strikes me about the trailer and stills: the characters look to cool to be British. Believe me, British teenagers in the 1970s were not cool.

Blurb from the film's official site: "In 1970s England, three blue-collar frienRAB spend their days joking, drinking.."

Blue-collar? You creepy, cretinous, yank-obsessed tw*t.

I too hate Gervais and will enjoy watching this die at the box office just as his other tepid attempts have.

The invention of lying was one of the worst films Ive ever seen....but I have to say this was a very sweet film.

Trailer looks awful, then up pops Julia Davis!

I wish it was a film written and directed by her, she's much more talented than RG.

 

[chaotic optimist]

I think it looks good, one of the boRAB on radio 5 reckons it will be seen as a classic in years to come

[The Changeling]

I think that's a perfect description of the film.

 

[MIKE!]

Apart from the fact it was not a 2hour film - it was 90 minutes.

I quite enjoyed the film which surprised me. Not the best of films script wise, but enjoyable.

I really don't like Ricky Gervais, can't stand The Office, but actually enjoyed this film . I didn't find it funny although clearly others in the audience did judging by the really loud guffaws . I'm glad I saw it cos I was going to give it a miss.

I was avoiding this because of the Gervais but it's brilliant. He's hardly in it, I found it funny in places and it has a fantastic soundtrack. Recommended by me

 

[Staciebabyy]

Incredibly I wanted more of RG and less of the annoying teens.
I need help.

I thought it was clich

Yup, I quite agree. I knew from the trailers that it wouldn't be up to much, but I wasn't expecting how lame it actually was. It's not the sort of film you can even dislike, it was too personality-free for that.



Not sure I agree with you here, I didn't notice any clever and/or snappy dialogue, I just thought it was unforgivably weak.

In fact, I was so un-engrossed, I started picking up on stupid details: "that font's from the late 80s... that song's from 1976 not 1973", etc., and I don't normally do that!

In an effort to not be completely negative, I thought Emily Watson did amazing things with the little she was given. And I think the fella who played Bruce is one to look out for, he could be really good given a decent script. Oh, and Felicity Jones, always lovely to see her, she's gorgeous.

 

[trixiepop]

yeah , wasn't too impressed .

and it didn't ring true , I don't think they really caught the 70's acurately .
