Starring Leigh Francis in the title role, and he served as co-writer too, the film sees Keith Lemon taking an invention off to London to try and make his fortune. Things don’t quite go to plan, as you might expect, and across 85 minutes, Lemon finds himself navigating a mixture of ups and down. It’s a film strewn with celebrity cameos, with Francis joined by the likes of Emma Bunton, Gary Barlow, Phillip Schofield, Jedward and David Hasselhoff, and there’s fun to be had in spotting famous faces as they breeze by. If you’re not a hardened Keith Lemon fan, though, there’s not too much more entertainment on offer. Most of the jokes fall flat, sadly, and the movie feels a good deal longer than it actually is. The disc offers footage that wasn’t available in the theatrical release, though, and there’s been real and appreciated effort made here to offer extra value. And, if you’re in the right mood, Keith Lemon: The Film isn’t without the odd chuckle. Furthermore, if you’re a hardened fan of the character, you might just be in for a treat. --Jon Foster
