Critic Reviews

Scott Foundas

The movie catches us up so profoundly in Frankie's self-destructive spiral (and gradual rehab), it's as though we’re seeing it all for the first time. I'd like to say that's because the story is true, only it isn't. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The downward arc of the first two acts of the movie is made harrowing and yet perversely amusing by the performance of Paul Kaye. Read full review

Dallas Observer Robert Wilonsky

This is phony, absolutely, but the good feeling it leaves behind is plenty real. Read full review

Marc Mohan

The only problem is that he's been such a shallow, ridiculous figure that exhuming any real sympathy for the guy is a Herculean task. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

In addition to possessing the most confusing title of the year, Canadian filmmaker Michael Dowse's high-energy dance-club saga It's All Gone Pete Tong arrives in an elaborate package of spoof and deception that should win the admiration of any practical-joke connoisseur. Read full review

Keith Phipps

If only any of it were funny. Read full review

Peter Hartlaub

The mockumentary-style delivery of a serious subject proves to be an unworkable mash-up. Read full review

Will go down as a cult classic. Paul Kaye strangles his part to death and you just have to love it: he was born to play Frankie Wilde. [***SPOILERS***] Sure it gets a bit soft at the end, but you feel for Frankie and want him to end up with the deaf bird. A great supporting cast and Will go down as a cult classic. Paul Kaye strangles his part to death and you just have to love it: he was born to play Frankie Wilde. [***SPOILERS***] Sure it gets a bit soft at the end, but you feel for Frankie and want him to end up with the deaf bird. A great supporting cast and hilarious set-pieces (the Austrians in the studio; the manager's sweaty rants against...heat; even a deft send-up of Victoria Beckham by Kate Magowan as Frankie's wife). Loved the soundtrack, laughed happily through the film. Don't know what that says about me, but that's my kind of entertainment.… Expand

This movie is tops. I like it almost as much as I like Requiem for a Dream.

Focusing on the extentsive damage it does that most us are aware of yet continuesously dismiss. That life style creates an extrodenary level of enjoymment to the point that it out-weighs any other alternative around us. The power it has over the mind pushes you into an unconsious spiral of thoughts which eventually blinds you from anything other than itself. This movie goes into the detail of these issues that we know extist yet prefer to ignore, not even giving it the chance for us to deeply understand just what horrifing things it can lead to, that and the fact we choose to dis-believe due to our own ignorance and temptations. After watching this film it opens your mind to the over-whelming consequnces of what's possible, that once again you can't help but to disbelieve such awful things can happen. For any punter cruising along the social scene of nightlife the film is a must see! It will open you to think differently bout the film itself and how you can relate to your own life.… Expand

It was a pretty well made movie. Sure, as a comedy, it wasn't particularly funny, some parts dragged on for a bit too long and it wasn't the most entertaining movie to watch, but it was pretty interesting to see where the story would go and the acting was actually pretty good.
