Big Fat Gypsy Gangster (2011)

hyped garbage

Good concept, poorly executed.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There are no two ways about it: BIG FAT GYPSY GANGSTER is a terrible, terrible film. It's a skinflint production, written, directed, and starring the same guy (the unknown and untalented Ricky Grover), and it's a wannabe gangster spoof about a hard man who comes out of jail and gets involved in various shenanigans with the local underworld.BIG FAT GYPSY GANGSTER appears to be mining the likes of CHOPPER for inspiration as it portrays events in a quasi-documentary style. Yes, this is supposed to be a comedy, but the laughs are of the lowest common denominator style; nothing funny here, just offensive scenes of dwarfs being abused and other lowbrow stuff. It truly is a bottom of the barrel production, with zero redeeming values.Grover is one of those modern leading men in low budget British cinema (like Simon Phillips) who have no discernible charisma or acting talent. In order to put some names on the DVD case, a bunch of has-beens have been incorporated randomly into the storyline, the most incongruous of whom is an embarrassed-looking Derek Acorah. Others, like Steven Berkoff, Dave Legeno, and Geoff Bell, should really know better. Cameos from the likes of Michael Smiley, Peter Capaldi, and Laila Morse just seem to consist of them swearing constantly, which I suppose is supposed to be funny - if you're a 14-year-old schoolboy.

To get straight to the point just please don't watch this film. I know you read see this on reviews a lot but this genuinely is the worst film I've ever seen! Normally I can tolerate a bad film as I can understand that the writers had an idea and unfortunately it hasn't worked out as they had planned. In the case of this film there can't of been a plan. The plot has no structure (or actual point), script is all but non existent and the acting is shocking. I decided to watch this one Saturday night as it was a new title with an on demand service and I really wish I could have my time back. I didn't want to just write a negative review but attempting to find a positive from this showing, for me, is impossible. My advice if you're really looking to kill time is to go find a wall of wet paint and watch it dry. I promise it will be more entertaining

Gather the worst Eastenders Characters, add a few extras from proper British films. Put them together and what have you got. This pile of sh*t. Boring from the offset, rubbish script and really poor acting. Why certain cast members have lowered themselves to film this rubbish is be on me. Surely they can't be that skint. I would rather be homeless than have my name and face associated with this film. Lack of humour and lack of grit. Maybe the odd female may like it and without being prejudice I would say the GAY sector may enjoy this film. I would be embarrassed to release such crap. I could have done better with my little girls camcorder. I was even more disappointed that fat Ev wasn't in the film. It may have made it more interesting if Fat Ev and Tulissa were to have an x-rated steamy lesbian love affair. I may have given the film 2 stars. My overall advice is Please Don't Waste 91 Minutes Of Your Life Like I Did.

This has got to be the funniest film I have seen in ages, it is totally different from anything I have ever seen, it's absolutely mad! I couldn't believe some of the outrageous scenes especially the one with Bulla's Guru played by Steven Berkoff. I have already watched this film twice as there is so much I missed the first time, and I found it even funnier the second time round! I will definitely be recommending this film to friends as I'm sure they will thoroughly enjoy it as much as I have. There is a great cast with some very unexpected names cropping up, Derek Acorah plays a great part as does the brilliant Rufus Hound. This film is totally bonkers but absolutely brilliant!
