Is Harry on the Boat? (2001)

So much average

How sad is this?

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Is Harry on the Boat is a hilarious tale of holiday reps in Ibiza, portraying the typical 18-30's holiday to a tee! The actors performances are brilliant, Danny Dyer as new rep Brad, introduced to the debauchery,including an interesting competition, as we are by the hilarious Wil Mellor as Greg. And of course we cant forget Marios 'Big Man!!!'.A brilliant film full of laughs that I would recommend to anyone! Though it is not without its serious moments the laughs come thick and fast. A summer movie to watch with mates that makes you dream of holidays, or even packing in your day job and signing up to be a rep yourself!!p.s The soundtrack generates much interest but an official soundtrack was never released unfortunately. However i do know that one of the songs is Jaydee- Plastic Dreams. its from my favourite bit of the film so check it out for yourself!!!

Whilst I can;t pretend to have experienced many of the things in the storyline, Sex, drugs, flirting, relationships, revenge, sun, alcohol etc. I can relate to some and appreciate that the others are good representations of the sorts of things that can happen.I found the feature length production to be greatly entertaining and full of well acted scenarios creating a good sense of what it could be like to have a lucky lifestyle of a young holiday rep.The only fault I could give is that they only made a one off, based on the book. there was so much scope for at least a mini series of say 6 one hour follow up stories.Nice scenery, nice bodies, fun story. Great location.

I had read the book and that was a good read. The film had the usual cast you'd expect, a mixture from Human traffic, Hollyoaks, Eastenders and Ralph Little made a cameo. It didn't really translate to film that well, as it didn't explain the characters and their relationships enough. However it was shot well, in a kinda quirky style not too original though. In summary watch it for a laugh but the book is a lot less superficial.

I have not read the book but I will now an amazing cast a cracking example of what great young talent the uk has to offer Danny Dyer is just perfect as the lead Brad, The storyline is nice and flowing and although it isnt quite like the ibiza i remember, it was closeWell worth a watch ....
