Storyline

Kevin and Perry are two 15-year-old boys whose desperation to lose their virginity is so great that it inspires a sort of awe. In the rare moments when they're not thinking about girls, Kevin dreams of being a singer and Perry aspires to be a dance-music DJ. When they manage to stop a bank robbery, they're given a sizable cash reward and decide to go on holiday to Ibiza, which is supposedly populated with thousands of beautiful women willing to sleep with anyone. Bu after the boys pack plenty of condoms and sunscreen, Kevin's parents announce that they're tagging along. Undeterred, Kevin and Perry make the trip and meet superstar DJ Eyeball Paul , who may or may not listen to their demo tape. The boys also encounter Gemma and Candice, two scruffy teenage girls who are nearly as eager as Kevin and Perry to get horizontal.

Goofs

Eye-ball Paul's villa is on the Port Deportivo Marina. Every time Perry and/or Kevin is seen outside the villa, they subsequently walk along the jetty towards the water. These jettys don't actually go anywhere, so unless they travel by boat, they'd just have to turn around and come back again.

Quotes

Dad: And after all...
Mum: You're my Wonderwall...
Kevin: You're not supposed to know that song! You're not supposed to know Oasis even exist!

Crazy Credits

At the very end of the credits Kathy Burke (who plays Perry) is heard shouting something like "Ooooool!".

---

Alternate Versions

In all of the American releases most of Perry's dialogue (played by Kathy Burke) was dubbed over so that the audience could understand her 'dumb' comments.

User Reviews

Cheesy film but I like it

Kevin & Perry go large (well they certainly do in this film). The way Kathy Burke & Harry Enfield act as teenagers as if it is quite lifelike, i think she does a better job and she does put on a good masculine voice (at times). The D.J played by Rhys Ifans is i suppose your typical D.J, thinking he is the dogs ******** and is a nasty *******, and he plays it extremely well top marks Rhys. Laura Fraser and Tabitha Wady, Whos the better actor? Id have to say laura she seems more comfortable in front of a camera than Tabitha (sorry Tabitha). The one scene that we all know about is when they decide to clean up, doesn't it make you cringe? (I hope girls in real life don't look like that lol). O.K some people may say its a bad film but they're more than likely comparing to those big blockbusters e.g lord of the rings. But in its own right its a great film if you ask me. The music in the film is your typical Ibiza music and i like that sort of stuff. The funniest scene would have to be when Kev and Pel are with Mr and Mrs Patterson in the restaurant and Pel gets a "banana" because Mrs Patterson is speaking Spanish. The worst scene (thats easy) Where they exit the airport and Pel says "Kev look the girls of our dreams" oh dear how bad that was. All in all great film.
