Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
As the clock strikes midnight and Kevin turns 13 his parents realise to their lasting horror, "he's losing the power of rational thought; and the use of his arms; he's become a teenager!". Kevin and best pal Perry are two of the most enduring characters from Harry Enfield's Television Programme, because they embody such familiar stereotypes. Everyone knows a teenager exactly like them, hormones out of control and desperate to break free from hated parental solicitude. Kevin is constantly at war with his parents ("That is so unfair, I hate you!"), and as far as he can see, the whole world is against him. He tries as hard as can to be hip with his friends, pretends to be grown-up and mature, and is constantly dying for a shag--but is of course mortally afraid of the opposite sex. Square parents are "sick-makingly pathetic" and pretty much everything is "unbelievably embarrassing" in Kevin's world.

On this tape, the brief Kevin and Perry sketches from the TV show are organised under handy guidelines, such as coping with your friend's parents and tidying your room ("I like it like this, I can find everything when I need it; just because I don't share your stupid bloody middle-class values of tidiness"). Harry Enfield's Kevin is brilliantly supported by Kathy Burke's wonderfully vacant Perry ("alright our Kev, sorted, mad for it", he opines in a newly acquired Lancastrian accent upon returning from a trip to super-trendy Manchester). The parent--offspring exchanges have an uncanny ring of truth about them, as do the schizophrenic switches from teen-speak to parental address. This is comedy for everyone who either is or was a teenager. "Kick all the old people out of the sitting room and enjoy". --Mark Walker

This video should be compulsory viewing for all parents of teenagers! It might help them to understand their troubled offspring a bit better.It is very funny,and compulsive viewing - watch it again and again.

I saw this first at my friends house and i loved it!You could watch it over and over.Must have for newcomers or fans!

Rating:

- A generally funny video with
some great moments. It's just a bit short and long-time followers of the series may have seen some scenes before. Worth buying if you adore the series of if you're totally new to it.

Rating:

- Don't dis it or you in trouble
This is a work of genius. Kevin on his 13th birtday turns into a teenager and his parents find out that nothing is ever going to be the same again. Togheher with his best mate Perry they have fantasies (eg getting shagged)and also driving their facist parents in to misery

Rating:

- Very funny
This is a very funnny video which is taken with clips from the tv show. A video that you could watch over and over.
