Julien Temple gets an "A" for effort in creating a modern musical recreation of the 1950's British Teen scene. The problem here is that the movie is too dark and risque for the family crowd and too light-hearted and tame for the adult crowd. It catches momentum in its third act, has a star making performance from Tony Hippolyte and Patsy Kensit, a great musical numbers by Bowie, Davies, and Sade, but would have benefited more by sticking closer to the source material of the Notting Hill Riots, instead of turning it into a cartoon.

The cast and guest appearances and performances make this a gem! So trippy and fun.

A general disappointment, but then with David Bowie and Patsy Kensit what did you expect.

Based in Colin MacInnes' novel about London life in 1957, when post-war austerity was shifting towards multiculuralism and youth culture. However, the film has little of the original's downbeat cool. Instead, it is a brash and breathless revival of the teen musical - Summer Holiday meets MTV. Much-hyped, it was widely panned on its release. But although meandering and patchy, it is visually stunning with a great soundtrack - cameos from Bowie, Sade, Ray Davies, Paul Weller and Slim Gaillard showcase the continuing vibrancy of British pop culture.

English. And overly stylized, even messy, but consistent. Very 1985 for 1958.
