Review: Get Duked!, Amazon Prime Video
I know we are running short of new product because of lockdown, but have we got this desperate yet? Get Duked! is a mess of a film that has plenty of energy but not much in the way of style as it follows the adventures of four hapless lads who get more than they bargain for when they set off to do the Duke of Edinburgh award in the Highlands.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 31st August 2020Get Duked! review
Four millennials on enforced DoE manoeuvres are pursued by an angry aristo in Ninian Doff's sharp feature debut.
Simran Hans, The Guardian, 29th August 2020Get Duked! review
The zany trip your Duke of Edinburgh's Award should have been.
Nick Levine, NME, 29th August 2020Get Duked! Funniest film of the year
From the Diary of Wimpy Kid-esque opening titles to a duel with a fork and the results of cutting heroin with chicken soup, this The Hills Have Eyes-meets-Hot Fuzz is a mirth-filled minor masterpiece. I just wish they'd kept the film's original, much more appropriate title - Boyz in the Wood.
James Croot, Stuff.co.nz, 28th August 2020Get Duked! review
The unapologetic amateurism becomes deadening.
Kevin Maher, The Times, 28th August 2020Review: Get Duked!
A silly stoner comedy about teen delinquents bumbling their way across the Highlands contains every bit of the stupidity and hijinks you'd expect. All with major style.
Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting, 26th August 2020Get Duked! review
In this busy British comedy, four teenagers are dumped in the Scottish Highlands, where they spiral into high jinks and danger.
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times, 26th August 2020Movie review - Get Duked! (2019)
In its own slippery game of generational cat and mouse, Doff's film is one that brazenly revels in absurdity; unashamedly committing to increasingly implausible sub-plots involving bread thieves, dim-witted police prejudice and the sharpness of forks.
George Nash, Flickering Myth, 25th August 2020Get Duked! review
What surely would have made a good reality-TV series - three juvenile delinquents from the big city, plus an awkward kid with no friends, are dropped in the Scottish Highlands and left to find their way back to civilization - works even better as a dark comedy goof when a couple of lunatics start shooting at them from afar.
