Loved this film when I first saw it upon first release and still love it now.. Great to watch with friends and allow yourself to be transported back to the golden age of clubbing.
I think this movie struggles to be understood in many countries hence the average score, it helps if you're from the UK, are a certain age and have also seen the K&P series on the TV or at least understand what the gag is!
Will definitely be giving this another watch not too long from now.

Plot summary
Kevin and Perry are two 15-year-old boys whose desperation to lose their virginity is so great that it inspires a sort of awe. In the rare moments when they're not thinking about girls, Kevin dreams of being a singer and Perry aspires to be a dance-music DJ. When they manage to stop a bank robbery, they're given a sizable cash reward and decide to go on holiday to Ibiza, which is supposedly populated with thousands of beautiful women willing to sleep with anyone. Bu after the boys pack plenty of condoms and sunscreen, Kevin's parents announce that they're tagging along. Undeterred, Kevin and Perry make the trip and meet superstar DJ Eyeball Paul , who may or may not listen to their demo tape. The boys also encounter Gemma and Candice, two scruffy teenage girls who are nearly as eager as Kevin and Perry to get horizontal.

Kevin & Perry Go Large
One of Harry Enfield's comedy favourites has now come onto the big screen in this hilarious comedy film. Kevin the Teenager is obviously the virgin, along with his best mate Perry (Kathy Burke),and they are both DJs. They one day buy a porn magazine and read about lots of sex going on in Ibiza. So Kevin asks his Mum (Louisa Rix) and Dad (James Fleet) if they can go to Ibiza, obviously they object at first, but they change their minds eventually. So when they do get there, that is when more mayhem begins. With the help of their new "friend" Eyeball Paul (Rhys Ifans),the manager of the Amnesia Club, they want to attract two girls that they fancy, Candice (Laura Fraser) and Gemma (Tabitha Wady). Also starring Paul Whitehouse as Bouncer, Patsy Byrne as Old lady and EastEnders' Steve McFadden as Bouncer 2. A very worthwhile comedy, particularly for the teens, and if you have the DVD you can enjoy all the clips from Enfield's TV creation. Harry Enfield was number 10 on Britain's Favourite Comedian, and Kevin the Teenager was number 15 on The 100 Greatest TV Characters. Good!

The Joke Wears Thin
Though I find HARRY ENFIELD AND CHUMS a very funny show I wasn`t really expecting much from KEVIN AND PERRY GO LARGE and I was right . The problem is that Kevin and Perry were created and written for a comedy sketch show where sketches are tightly written and last for a couple of minutes so to stick them in a feature film in which plot and character development revolves around a couple of 14 year old virgins trying to get their legs over seems like a lost cause . That said I did snigger a couple of times like when Kevin is confronted by a girl he claims to have [email protected] or when Perry does a poo in the sea , but the banal unsophisticated humour wears thin very quickly . Perhaps it would have worked better if we`d had a couple of cameos from other Enfield characters like the Scousers and Mr you don`t wanna do that
