Quotes:

Roy 'Chubby' Brown: Listen mate, the day I pay 50p to get into my own show is the day I show my arse in Woolies' window.
[cuts to Brown stood in a shop window, with his pants down]

Not Even Chubby Fans Think Much Of It !

" The following film contains bad language " said the announcer before U.F.O was broadcast . What he failed to mention was it also contains bad directing , bad acting and a really bad script . This is bad, pathetically bad . I`ll give you an example : a bunch of lads in a van take down their pants and stick their bare bottoms up against the windows to impress a bunch of bimbos driving by . The bimbos drive off and a car with a couple of nuns drives up alongside . Finished laughing ? Did you start laughing ? Did you smile ? Neither did I . I`ll give you another example of belly laughs in this laughfest: Roy " Chubby " Brown says to a jobsworth " The day I pay to get into one of my own shows is the day I show my arse in the front window of Woolworths " Guess what the next scene involves ? Oh you`ve seen U.F.O too ? You haven`t ? well in that case you`re bloody lucky because this is the British equivalent of FREDDY GOT FINGERED and I can`t describe how pathetic this is , there`s no sophistication to Brown`s humour , there is no humour to Brown`s humour which consists entirely of Brown saying the F and C words as often as he can . Compared to Chubby Brown Bernard Manning is a comic genius

Before anyone asks why I watched U.F.O if I don`t like Brown let me point out that I`ll watch a movie with the express view of commenting on it at this very website and I`ll happily watch pathetic crap because it`s easier to write about than a film I liked , this being the case all I will say this has been a very easy review to write because of the pathetic subject matter.

One very strange point though , most of the people who watched this and voted must have been fans of Brown in much the same way only Iron Maiden fans watched ROCK IN RIO or Pink Floyd fans watched THE WALL or U2 fans watched UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY , but ROCK IN RIO had an average vote of 9.3 , THE WALL had an average vote of 7.3 while UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY had an average vote of 7.9 . U.F.O has an average vote of 3.1 which seems to indicate the average Roy " Chubby " Brown fan thought this film was pathetic garbage too
