Kevin and Perry were the appalling teenage lads created by Harry Enfield for his TV show; he's Kevin, Kathy Burke is Perry. This film was an attempt to cash in on those characters by taking them out of their usual setting and putting them in club-land, Ibiza.
Co-written by Enfield and directed by Ed Bye, 'Kevin and Perry Go Large' is perhaps the worst movie of 2000. Endless jokes about erections, zits, porn, sex, and poo do not a good or funny movie make. Now and again a scene might raise a smile - the antics of Kevin's parents, finding Ibiza sparks a second honeymoon for them, and Kevin's horror at realising they are sexual beings while he's still a virgin; the OTT DJ Eyeball Paul (Rhys Ifans) who finally gets his comeuppance on the packed dance floor; and the boys' terrible dance mix.
But the laughs are few and far between. I was left thinking fondly of previous Enfield creations like Stavros and wondering what on earth James Fleet and Ken Cranham were doing in this total trash.
