Amazon.co.uk Review

A bawdy, ultimately moral tale of hedonism's complications, Is Harry on the Boat? is probably the most memorable film to come out of the culture of young singles' holidays on Ibiza. Tour rep Brad (Danny Dyer) is determined to win the informal competition among the male reps to sleep with as many female clients as possible, while his friend Mikey (Des Coleman) is looking for true love. Brad gradually learns responsibility and human concern from the awful examples set by corrupt manageress Alison and self-serving treacherous super-stud Mario. Along the way we get some memorably gross-jokes and one or two moments of rather touching tenderness, as well as a convincing portrait of what people go to Ibiza for--loud, large times of music and drunken excess. Dyer is convincing as a young man who learns better from experience and Des Coleman makes Mikey a three-dimensional, soulful romantic with a wicked sense of humour rather than merely Good personified. --Roz Kaveney

4.0 out of 5 stars Sex, drugs and house music in Hollyoaks....no, Ibiza!, 11 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Is Harry on the Boat? is the the movie made for TV adaptation of Colin Butts' outrageous summertime novel following the antics of Club 18-30 style holiday reps Brad (Danny Dyer, Human Traffic), Greg (Will Mellor, Hollyoaks) and the rest of the crew (featuring Davinia Taylor, Hollyoaks and former Eastender Daniela Denby-Ashe) in their search for the ultimate good time on the White Isle of Ibiza. Featuring a great soundtrack of some classic feel-good music, Is Harry on the Boat? (rhyming slang for something quite interesting!) creates that holiday atmosphere down to a T and makes you crave a stint in the sun where the drinks are flowing, the tunes are pumping, the pills are popping and the sex is non-stop, for the guys anyway who are on a race to reach 50 points. While perhaps not wholly realistic as the morning after sees no hangovers from hell and all the characters are extremely beatiful, the story has been superbly re-told on screen with all the humour and scandal perfectly acted by people who really make you want to leave your 9-5 job behind and live life to the max while you're young, free and single. Top stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must own for all red-blooded party goers, 9 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This film follows the fictional lives a group of Reps living and working in a 18-30 style hotel. Both the guys and girls are having separate competitions to see who can sleep with the most of the opposite sex. The plot follows how they each attempt to win the competition and how it affects their lives. If you liked Human Traffic this movie is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool...
Great film, I remember seeing it somewhere a couple of years ago - I would buy the DVD but the price people are asking on here (£45+) is bloody ridiculous.
