To Be Someone

I remember this being touted as some sort of sequel to Quadrophenia.

It is, of course, nothing of the sort, what it is is a third rate wannabe Guy Ritchie gangster movie with some scooters thrown in.

Is it still worth watching though?

No, it's utter, utter drivel and genuinely best avoided.

Ok, I admit it, as an old scooter riding mod I was suckered into buying the DVD. Within 5 minutes of watching it I regretted that decision. Despite the obvious potential of having a number of the Quadrophenia cast this film is possibly the worst film I have ever seen. And that includes the 10 minutes of "the sex lives of the potato men' starring Johnny Vegas.

Nothing to do with the mod or scootering scene, just a shameless attempt to cash in on the history of Quadrophenia with a 'comedy caper' that, simply, stinks.

Shame on everyone connected with this film.

So much potential, but it failed to deliver.

The music was good in most parts, but the story was let-down by the script. Some great stars in this, such as Leslie Ash, Toyah Wilcox and others, but it was just poorly written.

As a Brit myself, I was thoroughly disappointed with this movie.

Just awful. The best bit about this film was when it finished and I could throw the DVD in the bin. I wouldn't even grace a Charity Shop shelf with this garbage.

Terrible cast, terrible dialogue, atrocious acting and I use the word acting lightly.

Quite frankly the worst film I've ever seen, and I watched Cats. The acting is laughable at best and the green screen for the car driving scenes looks like it was done on a zx spectrum.

The true shame is I wanted to enjoy a bit of quadrophonic related nostalgia. This isn't it.
