Pirates is what you get if you buy your People Just Do Nothing from wish. If Human Traffic was written by a children's TV presenter and JLS fan, it would be this.
The storyline is fairly basic - a group of mates want to get in to a club night because one of them fancies a girl, and the film just follows their escapades through the evening. The ending is as underwhelming as the rest of the film.
There are a couple of laughs in it but the majority of the humour is clichéd, predictable and at times cringeworthy. A prime example is the moment in a record store when the lead character reads backstreet boys lyrics and everyone in the store cant quite remember the backstreet boys name.
The characters, whilst likeable, are not particularly engaging or believable. Whilst the name Pirates suggests it follows the lives of pirate radio DJs, this is only a minor element to the film. The 90s references again are very clichéd.
The only positive is the soundtrack. The film is full of old school garage anthems, very nostalgic. However, most of the tunes are also in People Just Do Nothing and the Big In Japan film at some point - which is far superior.
Even if you love Garage, give this one a miss.
