Best Geezer

Best Geezer is a super film full of great characters and comedy. Following the naive but driven film makers through a shady world that could have backfired with devastating consequences was a gripping treat. The film quality is exceptional as is the writing complimented by a great soundtrack. The use of multiple sets and actors works to provide a fully realistic and engaging experience in the little explored world of Canvey Island. Truly touching with beautiful twists and turns a must see. This film deserves a wide distribution, audiences will love it congratulations to Raya Films on another success.

BEST GEEZER is a sweet geezer comedy about 3 Essex island guys who decide to make a movie and fund it any way they can. The 3 lead characters aren't particularly business savvy, but win us over with their ambition and dreams. They are us. And we love them for it. Surrounding the 3 guys, there are a slew of other hapless blokes with dreams, but the ones pulling the strings and coming off with smarts and abilities are the women. So ladies, don't bypass this film! It's an all-round good-fun romp through a Southend island community full of heart, comedic shenanigans, and hope. SEE THIS FILM AS SOON AS YOU CAN!! Highly recommend.

Best Geezer is a good attempt at making a comedy. It's hard to keep an audience on their seat but this feature doesn't seem to do that at times. Felt like it was too long to make a story like this however it was good to say the least. Average actors, some shine, some don't. Give it a watch cause it's worth it.

James Smith's Best Geezer is a lighthearted dramedy overflowing with unusual players and low-budget pluck. It completely rejects cynicism as it commits to its follow-your-heart ethos. Though undoubtedly wholesome, keep in mind that our heroes are making a cockney gangster film, and so there is plenty of swearing, often delivered with a ferocious snarl in the movie within the movie, Kick Your Head In. Fans of Ted Lasso, Snatch, American Movie, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno should find plenty to enjoy here. Look for it to arrive on Amazon Prime in the near future.

This film celebrates the quirky but good natured oddness of the Essex hinterland, with a delightful character driven comedy. It is a perfect blend of drama laced with comedic moments which draws you in and gets you rooting for the unlikely protagonists of the film as they go from bumbling corporate video producers to suddenly finding themselves attempting to produce a blockbuster 'Geezer" film, aspring to rise from the insular backwater of Canvey Island to the bright City lights of Southend on Sea. It is well paced, well shot and has some great dialogue as well as some delightful character acting. A great example of independent British film making.
