In the mood for ...

This is obviously aimed and made for a very specific demographic and a certain audience. That doesn't mean that others who just let their guard down, won't be able to enjoy. Beware though that the movie takes it sweet time. Whether you are aware of the inciting incident with the bag or not, you will be wondering when the movie will finally kick off.

Now the long prologue is there to introduce us to the characters and their world. But they are rather paper thin and do not need a lot of introduction or any kind of depth, that isn't there in the first place. Scenes are there for entertainment purposes (like two rappers), which could have been easily been cut out of the movie. Some people will be completely annoyed by our main characters, but if you stick with them, you will have a somewhat decent movie. Even though the payoff towards the end is almost criminal in its simplicity. But you either roll with it or you don't ...

This is literally the worst movie I have ever seen. The characters are extremely annoying and stupid and the ending is terrible.

It's not just a party

Warning: Spoilers
Derrick (Joivan Wade) comes home from "university" and does the accidental bang swap. Drug Money. Party. Bad guys want money back. Yawn.

I am frankly bored of the switch bag film especially when it is lame and doesn't have anything to offer. The jokes and gags simply were not funny, at least to an adult. Teens or Tweens who dream of having a party and being popular might fall in love with the film, one most of us will see and forget, mon. Acting not that good either.

Guide: No swearing or nudity. Some adult situations. Implied sex.

Not for all audiences.

I personally found it a very entertaining watch, but then again, I'm from hackney so got all the jokes as I understand the culture. It's fairly low budget and acting is so so ( has a school drama vibe to it), I can understand how many audiences would totally reject this movie but I personally found it quite funny and love supporting local actors.

I love this movie this my third time watching it I first watch this back late 2018. I love the story the plot, the setting just everything. The cast everybody just seems perfectly well creative whoever doesn't like this movie is lame. Needs to go and get a job. Get their life together do what they gotta do.
