magnumco It was always the filmmakers intention to give this film the look of a well lit, Hollywood style movie and I must thank them for that because they succeeded in that endeavor. Too often, British films will be poorly lit with blown highlights and detailess shadows and then try to get away with it claiming that it was deliberately done for an artsy look. That fools nobody and the makers of Neils Party are to be commended for paying great attention to this important detail in film-making.The films storyline will be understood by anyone who can still remember their own 18th year and though it might be predictable at times it succeeds because of strong performances from the young cast. The performances come across as realistic and believable. it doesn't appear forced or over the top.To use the American vernacular, it's a cute film and a very good first effort for the filmmaker. it brings a new look to a part of Britain that's rarely shown, not the gritty working class landscape nor the affluent manor houses that have become tiresome exports this past decade. Instead, we are treated to a view of life in a rural market town albeit from an area with the highest real estate values in Britain.

gina-221 A delightful cast of inept characters showing the wild side of Uckfield, East Sussex! The movie engages us in the world of sexual desperation and peer pressure on the eve of leaving home for University. Who ever said it was easy being young! Smart pacey dialogue and laugh out loud gags make this fresh look at the UK pre-college scene ideal for a 'good night in' with friends. In the growing world of indie film-making Neil's Party shows that budget isn't everything and that a unique take on a familiar story makes for real entertainment and clever film-making can deliver high production values on screen. Well done to the filmmakers - I'm looking forward to whatever is 'coming soon' from this talented team.

blapovsky I thought this was a great movie. I've seen a lot of teen comedies and you get to know what's coming and what to expect, so it didn't bother me that the story was quite predictable and the jokes were only OK. What made this one stand out was the characters - I really liked them and they definitely reminded me of me and my buddies.The romance was good too, definitely something my girlfriend appreciated while I was more attracted to various other elements (the main girl was HOT and she showed it all straight away) Not as good as American Pie but a lot better than most of the rest. Definitely recommend. And did I say the main girl was HOT?!

TransPM How many times have I told myself not to watch UK movies? Plenty. This time, however, I didn't pay close attention to the country that produced this movie. "Fortunately," I didn't get to wait long to recognize the putrid ingredients in this poorly cooked slice of a British Pie movie. The flavor of the jokes here totally smells as if they have been picked up and placed on a plate straight from a men's toilet left full after an American party. The guys spoke too much like the blondest social butterflies where they didn't have to and would frigidly say nothing in the parts where I so expected them to open their mouth. The girls had no spice either: they must have been hand-picked by the worst looks in the pool of extras. Choose a movie. Choose a review. Choose where to watch it. But why would anyone want to watch a movie like this?
