This film is fantastic. The most remarkable thing about it, is that almost anyone will find it funny. As a 14 year old i found it hilarious because of all the jokes about teenage life, which is very accurate despite being written by a middle aged man, adults (espiecially paents) will laugh at how exagerated the behaviour is and how the characters are similar to quite a few teenage boys and also children will laugh at just how silly they act and talk (although it probably isnt suitable for them) lol.

Overall this film is hilarious and you should certainly watch it no matter how old or young you are and is a dead cert for fans of Harry Enfield.

Even if you don't buy, just make sure you watch it as you'll remember it forever.

And buying it would be a great addition to anyone's film collection.

This is one of the most timeless comedy classics i have ever seen, i still watch this film regulary, if you like pure immatur humour this is definitly for you, made extra special for me by the setting and sound track seen as i am a huge fan of trance music. A must not miss film here

To start this review,I must specifically say one sentence: Its so funny,when I watched it,I was 13 and by that time my dad was continuously saying the phrase of Harry Enfield as Kevin- "WHAT, WHAT DID I DO?!" to me that is extremely annoying when my dad does it, but when Harry Enfield says it, you'll laugh your head off. I am 14 now and the point is of this movie is as many users have said, is about teenage life. It also has non-fiction life about this film and I can tell you as a fact, because I have witnessed many situations like this.

If you are a teenager ( like me), even if you are going to be a adult, or just a adult who loves comedy, watch this film as it can be a flash back of your teenage-hood and 100% it will crack a smile on your face easily.
Worth the price and before I finish this review, GET IT NOW!!

This is one of the only films that truly epitimises the quality trance music of the late 1990's. Tunes such as CRW's "I Feel Love" and Ayla's "Ayla" serve this film excellently as a feel good summer film, that makes you just want to go to Ibiza right now and head straight off to Cream to get hammered! Harry Enfield's "pulling voice" cracks me up when he is talking to the laydees. Make sure you buy this film just so that you can get in the mood for a mash-up.

I approached this movie with some trepidation. Harry Enfield hadn't been funny since the divorce from Paul Whitehouse, so sitting through an hour and a half of one of his more annoying creations could have been quite painful. I could almost hear that voice in the back of my head saying "You don't want to do thaaat!"
I was a little suprised to discover that it wasn't Porridge the movie that I was watching. Whilst most British comedies are over long episodes of a situation comedy, Mr. Enfield and co have put great thought into translating their creations to the big screen. The jokes traditionally hit the mark (come on, floating poo, how could it fail?) and the two leads are spot on in their portrayal of a geeky rights of passage.
The plot is simple enough, Kevin and Perry go to Ibizia in hope of losing their virginities and end up being lackies for the most heinous DJ around. Not sure why Kevins dad is played by Hugo from the vicar of dibley though, it somewhat takes away from the believability of it. Don't ask me how, it just does.
What earns this release the coveted 4th star is the extras. Several making of featurettes that are interesting make up the normal standard, but there's more. The boys music video is included, but best of all is the inclusion of the best bits of Kevin from Harry Enfield and Chums in 'Kevins guide to being a teenager' that I think may have been previously released on video on its own.
A Saturday evening film that will give you a laugh and get you in the mood to go out and, bizarrely, squeeze a few spots.

Harry Enfield had a very successful sketch show with Kathy Burke in the nineties which managed to chuck out some great memorable characters. The Kevin and Perry characters were one of the more famous sketches (along with Wayne and Waynetta Slob) to come out of the show and in 2000, they made a feature length (well, 75 min) film about the two awkward teens going on holiday to Ibiza to try and get laid and get their music played. Whilst there are some funny moments, some gross-out, the characters are unfortunately one joke wonders that, whilst fitting a sketch show perfectly, struggle to adapt to a big screen outing. That's not to say it isn't enjoyable as it certainly has some good moments, Rhys Ifans is great as Eye Ball Paul and Paul Whitehouse's cameo as a bouncer is hilarious. Rent it. 2.5/5

Great fun to watch. Especially with teenagers! Still up to date despite being a few years old now. I recommend it

We watched Kevin & Perry Go Large again just before going off on holiday. It was great fun to watch and hasn't dated. We looked out for Eyeball Paul whilst we were away but didn't spot him!

This movie makes me laugh every time I watch it. For anyone who has ever been to the sacred clubbing town that is Ibiza, then you will get a lump in your throat and love in your heart at the tracks that are played. Most awesome is 'Follow Me' by Lange...gives you a serious case of throwing your hands in the air and waving them like you just don't care.
Feel good movie that can be watched time and time again. And just remember, no ugly people, ok!!!

I've loved this film and found it really hillarious all the way through since the day I first watched it (about 7 years ago now). The storyline to it is very interesting and the humour is brilliant, and there's good humour in it in pratically every scene.

One thing I love about comedy is when abnormal characters are thrown into a normal world of normal people. You just wouldn't see people like Kevin and Perry in real life. The two characters in general are brilliant. One of the funniest things about them is their relationship with super star DJ Eye Ball Paul (Rhys Ifans). They really believe he's a nice bloke and really likes them, yet it's very obvious he is far from nice and is taking the p*ss out of them.

One funny moment is when he mentions that he's going to give his bathroom a bit of a paint and asks them if they fancy giving him a hand. Kevin and Perry (as they like him) are more than happy to. Eye Ball Paul lets them do ALL the work, including getting rid of a floater he had trouble flushing. Afterwards Kevin says to Perry "Eye Ball Paul is so nice letting us do all that work for him".

Amongst the other funny moments is the scene at the bank and Kevin's daydream funeral (one funny line in that scene is "you shouldn't have made me wash" the last line of Kevin's letter the priest reads out).

The funniest moment of the film in my opinion is the floater scene (you'll know what I'm on about when you get to it).

In this film Kevin (Harry Enfield) and Perry (Kathy Burke) are two teenagers, who want nothing more but to lose their virginity. They also have a dream of becoming famous DJs. While reading a magazine, they realize that if they go to Ibiza, they're garanteed to lose their virginity.

Eventually they get to Ibiza (and to Kevin's dissapointment, his parents come along two). They're they meet Eye Ball Paul and with his help plan to become DJs, and in the meantime they attempt to go out with two girls.

This film is really good and very funny, not to be missed by any fan of comedy. Eye Ball Paul is the best character in the film (although he's an A-hole). Get this film now.
