Review of Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010) by Chärles Dævid H — 01 Oct 2014

This movie is out of it's mind, but in a good way.

The story is about a young boy, Dury nearly died after being stricken with polio. Though the ravaging disease would leave him permanently disabled, however, it would also instill him with the drive and perseverance to become one of the most influential musicians of his generation. Along with his band Ian Dury & the Blockheads, the unpredictable rocker would become a key figure in the new wave movement of the late '70s.

Andy Serkis in this movie was pure brilliantly mad and you can see in this film that he is giving it all and I totally respect him for that, because some actors try to be over the top and try to be down right nuts, but the results are mostly Comedy and not taken seriously. The movie that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and natural born killers look to it. where in those movies they didn't care about being normal or keeping it safe, no they go full nuts and showing weird images, and this movie is no different. My only nick picks with the film was the beginning, i'm not saying it was terrible but it kind of throw me into this world of madness that was in Ian Dury's mind. Some of the characters in the film are pretty lame and forgettable. And that's it for problems, overall this movie had a good story and a fantastic performance from Andy sekis.
