After finally killing The Doctor, The Master has no meaning in life. So he comes to Earth, wipes his own memory and changes his name to Jip. He then befriends Danny Dyer. Jip then realizes he has no meaning in his life so he runs for Prime Minister and wins under his real name, Harold Saxon. When The Doctor returns to Earth with Captain Jack Harkness and Martha Jones, Saxon remembers exactly who he really is and history repeats itself.

Dire.

A catalogue of Friday night's pills and powder intake does not a movie make. Nor do five endlessly self-justifying bores constantly winking and nudging and screaming and sledgehammering the viewer with "THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU'RE ON DRUGS! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOU ARE ON DRUGS! AM I RIGHT? AM I RIGHT?"

That it has the gall to reference TRAINSPOTTING, an immensely superior film which throws its own failings into almost comic relief, is just one of the many artistic decisions on director Justin Kerrigan's part which completely baffle me. Nothing quite so baffling though as the generally held view that it is something of a "British Cult Classic". A turgid mixture of nostalgia (the turn of the millenium setting always feels a bit anachronistic for a film centred on rave culture) and borderline propaganda. I've had comedowns that were more pleasant.

The only people I know of that love this film also think drugs are cool. They're also far too old to be thinking drugs are cool. In fact I'm almost sure you have to be on drugs to even endure this the whole way through.

Meh, acting was shit and made me cringe. I found it really cheesy. And not even the good kind. But the try hard kind.

Super soundtrack, great camera work in this psychedelic drug and music fuelled monster of a film. 4/5

The film is full of actors giving good performances, has good moments that act as a social commentary and/or are funny, but these moments come rarely, as the film is too much of a mess to enjoy, ultimately resulting in a general sense of dullness.

The people that cite this movie as a favourite are invariably the kind of people I don`t want to socialise with.

Rewatched this classic 90s movie and it was still just as good as I remembered it!

One of the best soundtracks ever, brilliant comedy, great story - just a class A film
