When he thinks his hamster Abu has just a week to live, Harry Hill and his gran take the hamster to Blackpool. However, Harry’s twin Otto wants to kidnap Abu and sends Ed and Kisko to pursue them.
I only knew anything about this movie after recently seeing Harry Hill after seeing him promoting his movie on an episode of The Graham Norton Show.
In my books this will probably not go down as an all-time classic movie, but this is definitely the kind of movie that you watch when you are having a bad day. I was completely charmed by the unashamed stupidity that this movie openly embraced from chickens packing high calibre automatic weapons, a briefly mutated 150 foot hamster and the most unconvincing disguises that I have ever seen henchmen wear and I also loved the musical numbers that where spread throughout the movie. Sure some of the jokes might have fallen a little flat but that did not matter because of how charmingly stupid this movie is.
