Worst film ever - Brighton review by BB
Would have given film zero stars but wasn’t sure if that was possible.
Bizarre premise, gratuitous language, racist and sexist language - no excuse that it was set in far less liberal times.
Wonder why good actors like Lesley Sharp and Phil Davis agreed to do this film.
Even more I’m wondering how I came to order it!

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT - Brighton review by MW
Appalling film ... from the 20 mins I could bear to watch.
How could such a fine group of actors get involved in this? These are characters for whom it is impossible to have any empathy. It's difficult to believe any film-maker could be drawn to such dross and I can only hope the cast were very well paid, as it could only have harmed their careers. Not deserving of one star.

So so bad - Brighton review by Ed
So bad my wife couldn't watch more the 20 minutes. Weak storyline and 90% of it isn't even in Brighton. The pier at the very end is Eastbourne. Seems to be the only reason it is called Brighton is so they can have Gay people in it!!
