Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent, 12th October 2023Sumotherhood review
Adam Deacon's Avuvahood follow-up falls flat.
Victoria Luxford, City AM, 12th October 2023Sumotherhood review
At times the tone is over the top, with characters shouting their way through scenes, and there are moments when silliness takes over and the humour becomes childish. Nevertheless, the movie is overall entertaining, has box-office quality and is refreshing in that it speaks of (and to) the urban scene with a mocking voice that is highly empathetic at heart.

The follow-up to 2011 goofball gang drama parody Anuvahood, it's taken years of perseverance and the goodwill of the UK's entertainment industry to get Adam Deacon's latest film on screens. And now that he's conquered his demons, he's ready to make us laugh at them.
