“Gazza” (Peter Andre) is in the boozer regaling his mates with a story that is so remarkable that his best mate “Johnzie” (Jamie Lomas) thinks it’s going to blow their socks off. He was facing disaster with his beloved nan looking like she was about to be turfed out of her care home unless he can find £35,000! There is virtually no hope he can manage this until he discovers that he is the doppelgänger of an imprisoned Jamaican gangster who is about to inherit $3 millions. He comes up with a plan to learn the patois, don the dreads and head to the sunshine with his mentor “Winston” (Wil Johnson) to try and convince the local population that he is the true heir! Can he pull it off? Preposterous? Well, yes. It’s clearly a labour of love for Andre and director Fredi Nwaka who did just about everything on this production, but the film just doesn’t work. The script is weak and contrived and even though the supporting cast, especially the scene stealing “Uncle Godfrey” (Oliver Samuels) do inject some life into the film at times, the whole production is little better than amateur and misses way more than it hits. There’s a lively soundtrack but that’s about the height of it.
