It reminds me of a quote in Empire Magazine about Parting Shots: there are British films that cannot find a distributor, young British directors and writers battling to get projects made - meanwhile, a restaurant critic who made Death Wish 25 years ago is allowed to foist a bloodless, unfunny comedy on the world. Except replace Winner with Lemon.

I never have understood what was funny about anything Leigh Frances ever did. He seems to have got on for some reason playing these vile charaters that are basically all sex mad and perverted and say and do rude shit over and over. Avid Merrion, The Bear Charater, Bo Selecta & now Keith Lemon. I wouldn't care if he'd had his few minutes of fame, but no, He's been picked up by Itv2 and even moved on to itv1 prime time & starred in ads. He's been to USA with his own show and then had this movie that was a MAJOR FLOP showing him up for the purile unfunny tired piss poor piece of refried shitcake he is. Yet he still resides on our tv screens pumping out his unfunny crude and tired Keith Lemon character with minor celebs sticking to him like flies around a turd. I can imagine Lemon being funny to 10 or 11 year old boys who think swearing and sexually explicit stuff is edgy in that way you do in the early double didgits, but most grow out of it by 13 or 14. But anyway he is done now and has overstayed his welcome can he please leave now & hang up the Lemon coat & either move on or do something that is actually funny and not just dick & boobs, jokes.

And Adam Sandler has in fact made a few good films (even a few good comedies, like The Wedding Singer). But Leigh Francis is just vile.

An awful film, I laughed once, when he referred to a premature ejaculation as having 'blabbed up'. The ironic thing is Keith Lemon is fully ensconced in the vapid world of light entertainment celebrity gladhanding that was sent up so successfully in Bo Selecta (before it ran out of steam), a sad example of parody becoming pastiche, from a man with nothing left to say.

I recently saw a few seconds of Keith Lemon’s show while scrolling through the channels, and it was funny for completely the wrong reason. One of the guests was singing “jing my balls” instead of “jingle bells” - as you’d expect, not funny in the slightest. But he wore the startled expression of a man who could see his career vanishing down the cludgie at breakneck speed right before his very eyes, with absolutely nothing he could do about it.
