Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee is the latest film from Shane Meadows (Dead Man's Shoes, This Is England, and Somer's Town). This film is like This Is Spinal Tap, but it's involves hip hop instead of metal, I must say, this movie is pretty damn funny.
The film stars one of my favorite current British actor Paddy Considine (who improvised and came up with the idea along with Shane Meadows) as Le Donk, a man who has been trying to make it big in the music world and is trying to land an opening gig with The Arctic Monkeys. He also gets the director Shane Meadows to follow him around while trying to land the gig. Le Donk decides to be the manager and the beat-maker for Scor-Zay-Zee, who is actually a pretty good comedy rapper.
I was pretty much laughing throughout the whole film, except for the first 10 minutes where the laughs were a few and far between. The rest of the film had me chuckling or laughing throughout the film's short running time (71 minutes).
The only problem is trying to understand what they are saying at first, but overtime you'll get the hang of it and it becomes easier to understand as film plays. If you like British humor, you'll enjoy this.
Overall Grade: B+
