I Want Candy

We are told that I Want Candy is a British American Pie. They wish. This vaguely smutty teen comedy feels more like a soggy pasty as it offers a limp mix of Brian Rix farce and mild sexual shenanigans. The young cast is energetic and not without charm but the lame script lets the side down.

Film students Joe (Tom Riley) and Baggy (Tom Burke) aim to turn their end-of-term project into a masterpiece to make the British film industry take notice.

Thwarted by a pretentious professor (Mackenzie Crook), they discover that finance is available for a porn movie if they can get Candy Fiveways (Carmen Electra) to be their star.
