Best Geezer is a super film full of great characters and comedy. Following the naive but driven film makers through a shady world that could have backfired with devastating consequences was a gripping treat. The film quality is exceptional as is the writing complimented by a great soundtrack. The use of multiple sets and actors works to provide a fully realistic and engaging experience in the little explored world of Canvey Island. Truly touching with beautiful twists and turns a must see. This film deserves a wide distribution, audiences will love it congratulations to Raya Films on another success.

British humour at its best
daveoblade13 October 2023
Absolutely love this film. From the Directors and writers of the award winning film Casting Kill comes a classic comedy that will have you chuckling throughout, especially if you hail from Essex UK. This film, like its predecessor, Casting Kill, has won awards and has been selected for the Skiptown Playhouse National Film Festival West Hollywood.
The story follows 3 hapless 'Geezers', fed up with making corperate videos from their shop in Canvey Island Essex, who decide to try their hand at making a Geezer film worthy of being shown at the Geezers awards. It features some top performances from a relatively unknown cast who nail every comical moment that you'd expect from the cast of Only Fools and Horses. The script is well written, well directed and well delivered and I can only see a bright future ahead for all involved. This film has already won awards and I am sure many more are to come. The only questions you will be left with is, what is a GEEZER and what makes a GEEZER. Because this is the best GEEZER movie you'll ever see.

Geezers with Heart
tbamberger-462673 August 2023
BEST GEEZER is a sweet geezer comedy about 3 Essex island guys who decide to make a movie and fund it any way they can. The 3 lead characters aren't particularly business savvy, but win us over with their ambition and dreams. They are us. And we love them for it. Surrounding the 3 guys, there are a slew of other hapless blokes with dreams, but the ones pulling the strings and coming off with smarts and abilities are the women. So ladies, don't bypass this film! It's an all-round good-fun romp through a Southend island community full of heart, comedic shenanigans, and hope. SEE THIS FILM AS SOON AS YOU CAN!! Highly recommend.
Must see comedy !

Wow this film takes you on an emotional roller coaster following the dopey trio of friends who run their own corporate filming company aptly named "canvey video extra" and their dreams to make it big in the movie world and make their own "Geezer" movie . You can see this pokes fun light heartedly at the gangster flick genre and the comedic stereotypes. You really get involved with the characters Neil , Billy , Dave and Billy's wife Sue. Jed is a wonderful stereotypical character of the Geezer world with his bright orange tan and whiter than white teeth with his funny entourage to. You will laugh you will feel your heart warmed and you will find yourself rooting for the trio to get to the top accolade of the filming world and win a "Geezer" the gangster flick version of an Oscar! I won't spoil it for you but it's a must watch and it's something light hearted no hidden agendas and a film you can get lost in and just enjoy . This is the best comedy I've seen in a while!
Top Notch Essex Comedy Drama
garyget12 June 2023
This film celebrates the quirky but good natured oddness of the Essex hinterland, with a delightful character driven comedy. It is a perfect blend of drama laced with comedic moments which draws you in and gets you rooting for the unlikely protagonists of the film as they go from bumbling corporate video producers to suddenly finding themselves attempting to produce a blockbuster 'Geezer" film, aspring to rise from the insular backwater of Canvey Island to the bright City lights of Southend on Sea. It is well paced, well shot and has some great dialogue as well as some delightful character acting. A great example of independent British film making.
