Popcorn (2007 film)
Popcorn is a 2007 British teen comedy film written and directed by Darren Paul Fisher. It was filmed in 2005 at one of Londons largest multiplex cinemas, Odeon Greenwich.
Matthew Leyland from the BBC gives it two out of five stars, saying that few of the jokes hit the target and the leads were dull. He acknowledges the films ambition, which uses slapstick, sight gags, sound gags movie dialogue finishing characters sentences and mangaesque inserts. Anna Smith from Empire Magazine also gave the film a negative review, rating it one out of five. She states that Popcorn is a wellmeaning British comedy that fails to deliver the laughs or the romance. Paul Newmans blog review pointed to a positive aspect of the film, in that it doesnt follow the typical Hollywood format, but feels more like an indy comedy.The film makes use of mangastyle artwork and comic strips by United Kingdom resident Original Englishlanguage manga artist Sonia Leong of Sweatdrop Studios. The artwork is used as both posters in one of the characters rooms, and as illustrations in the plot. ........
