Cath Clarke Guardian The whole thing has a decidedly sitcom feel, though if it was made for TV the script would have had a thorough going over. Rated: 2/5 Sep 17, 2021 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) A muscular contender for the worst movie of 2021, this clueless abomination is saved only from eternal ignominy by the honourable central turn from Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, daughter of Andy Serkis. Rated: 0/5 Sep 17, 2021 Full Review Romey Norton Film Focus Online La Cha Cha is a very silly film, which showcases the more weird and wonderful side of British people. You can tell the actors had a huge laugh filming, providing the audience with some fun and enjoyable moments. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media A few half-decent jokes are tossed into the mix, but the cast and crew probably had more fun escaping being shut indoors than anyone is likely to have watching this.

john c This is totally "off the wall" Welsh humour. Reminds me of the Satellite City series that can still be seen on YouTube I believe, undoubtedly due to the heavy Boyd Clack influence. To me this is a classic and I hope it gets the awards and financial return it deserves. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitly a MUST SEE!! This movie had us laughing from beginning to end . With its dry humor . Much needed humor with all that was going on the last few years. WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!!! I give it 2 thumbs up ...Thank You for the much needed laughter A BAYA Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A vivid, funny and serious movie... For the first half of this film, I watched with mounting impatience and bewilderment, what on earth was La Cha Cha about? What sort of cluttered, disorganised imagination and humour was being displayed? And then, the film came together at just the point it unravels: La Cha Cha, an outdoor commune for old people has to be sold, and the whole commune under danger, unite in trying to save it, and the stranger who until now has been regarded with dislike and suspicion, becomes the main hope. The earlier suggestions of Bruegel and Hieronymous Bosch in the odd glimpses of nudity or bare bottoms or ingestion by huge fish start to make sense. Like the Flemish painters there is rich colour so that if you close your eyes afterwards, the colour comes flooding back. This is a vivid, funny and serious movie, about the gruesomeness of ageing, but also about the freedom to enjoy it in its own manner. I liked this film the more for not having a smooth, slick opening - there is something particularly rousing about having your mind changed, being shocked from bemusement to appreciation. The end illuminates the beginning. It is an unusual film with some hilarious moments, and highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredible film. Keith Allen has done it again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Live in South Wales so this film is based in the area I live in, Like Twin Town it shows the quirkiness of Welsh Culture unlike Twin town its pretty laugh Free. It does have some funny lines but I don't think they will translate so well with non Welsh people. There are some moments that are spoken entirely in Welsh (without subtitles I must add) and that was an odd choice as 70% of Wales cannot speak or understand their own native language. Script needed more editing but I have to say for a movie filmed entirely on smartphones it looked pretty nice. Anyway the cast are great there are some jokes and it looks good but don't expect Twin Town Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the fact the audience at Snowcat Cinema (Penarth Pier) were laughing out loud all way through it says it all. Its a funny, crazy film that doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes a poke at healthcare, property developers and has some wonderful cameos. The fact it was filmed during the pandemic using clever use of solo scenes, limited groups, outdoor etc should be considered in the production Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
