Kelly Brook’s Unforgettable Acting Stint in “Keith Lemon: The Film”
Little-known fact about TV star Kelly Brook: she ventured into the film industry and starred alongside comedian Keith Lemon in a movie that has been widely criticized. “Keith Lemon: The Film,” released in 2012, saw Brooks play herself as the love interest of Lemon, while the rest of the cast included celebrities such as David Hasselhoff, Gary Barlow, Peter Andre, Emma Bunton, and even Jedward.
Controversial Reception
The film, directed by Paul Angunawela, faced harsh criticism from both professional critics and viewers. A review on Rotten Tomatoes stated bluntly, “To be honest, it was the worst film ever. Keith Lemon is ok for TV but not for the big screen.
Kelly Brook was D-list. It’s not funny at all. Holly and Fearne should have a bigger part.
Overall, rubbish.” Another viewer added, “To say this film is bad would be an understatement. The ‘jokes’ are that bad and immature they make you feel uncomfortable, and the story looks like it came out of a child’s English class.”
Brook’s Acting Career
Kelly Brook has been in several films, but this one seems to be her least successful. The movie follows Keith Lemon after his business failure in London and his girlfriend’s disappointment in him. He then creates a phone invention that lands him millions, allowing him to live out his dreams. However, the plot twist involves Evil Steve who kidnaps Rosie (played by Laura Aikman), and Keith is faced with rescuing her.
Contradicting Views
Despite the negative reviews, not everyone found the film terrible. One fan of Celebrity Juice said, “Never seen Celebrity Juice before, but thought this film was freaking hilarious!” Another commented, “A great and funny comedy full of just what you would get from letting yourself into the world of Keith Lemon and his crazy life. Some people think the film is crap, but if you watch it and like Keith Lemon, then you will love the film, and it is well worth the money.” The film can be streamed on Amazon Prime or rented on Apple TV.
As Kelly Brook prepares to face challenges in “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here,” her acting career remains a topic of interest. Whether she regrets taking on such a controversial role or looks at it as a memorable experience, the film serves as an interesting footnote in her diverse entertainment ventures.
