More Drama than Comedy, not at all true to the book
When I first read Spud, it made a huge impact on me. I saw the book as near perfect. Of course, when I heard about the film, I was jumping up and down. Today I went to see it. What a disappointment. It has it’s strong points: 1. John Cleese 2. Troy Sivan 3. John Cleese 4. John Cleese 5. Interesting cinematic interpretation of dairy-style book

Unfortunately I can’t think of much more. Troy Sivan is the perfect cast, he sings amazingly, acts amazingly and looks the part. John Cleese, well, I don’t really have to say anything.

The story is not at all true to the ‘near-perfect’ book. It lets out most of the high points of the book as well as all the subtleties that the fans of Spud were hoping to see in the movie. And where it does contain important points of the book, it is in some way changed. This was disappointing to say the least.

If you have read the book and have already developed a firm mental image of the characters, go see the film. If you haven’t read the book, read it first and then go see it, or better yet, rent it on DVD. This is not a film that needs to be seen on the big screen.

Disappointed
SPOILERS

The crazy eight is a bully group at the beginning of the movie. They picked on Gecko and later Spud. Gecko even calls the school hell. When Spud visits Gecko in hospital Gecko tells him that he shouldn’t listen to Rambo and try to impress him.

After awhile we see Spud preparing for the Oliver Twist. I was actually proud of him when he put on the wig because that was the sign that he doesn’t care what the crazy eight thinks. (they were picking on him that he looks like a sheep with the wig). When he is invited to come out on the stage he TAKES OFF HIS WIG!

For all three movies I have been hoping that he will confront the crazy eight. I couldn’t enjoy their adventures having on my mind what they had done to Gecko.
