There can hardly be a movie genre more knackered than the post-Trainspotting ensemble/coming-of-age/drug-zeitgeisty/one-crazy-night comedy. Ten or 15 years ago, at the tail-end of Uncool Britannia, we seemed to get a new one every week. We are the Freaks, from writer-director Justin Edgar, is set in the 90s and looks at first as if it is going to satirise these 90s cliches. But actually we don't get anything other than more cliches: the film is made up of secondhand ideas, characters and riffs. Jamie Blackley plays Jack, a bloke hanging round in his hometown one summer, waiting for a grant (those were the days) to go to uni to study creative writing. His mad friend Chunks (Sean Teale) and nerdy, useless friend Parsons (Mike Bailey) are up for a night out, but Jack is still mooning around, thinking about pretty girl-next-door Elinor (Amber Anderson) who is much more cool than she looks. Michael Smiley does his best with the role of lairy drug-dealer Killer Colin. Production standards are high enough, but, as so depressingly often with indie Britfilms, this is a script that wouldn't pass muster for any British TV series.
