Kevin and Perry, the two gormless teenagers from the Harry Enfield Show, go feature-length in a movie that this novelization is based upon. It tells the complete story of Kevin and Perry's adventure in Ibiza.

Review:

Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke's hideous, acne-pocked and perpetually horny teenagers are on a quest to pop their cherries and according to Kevin's faded copy of Mixmag, there's only one place on earth where the women are tall, gorgeous and up for anything. That's right, the gruesome twosome are off to Ibiza, the fabled Love Island, and they're taking with them a tape of their own tune, "Big Girl" (that's going to make them Superstar DJs,don'tcha know?) and a relentlessly purile canon of jokes about "stiffies and floating turds", and--horror of horrors!--parents that still have sex. Because while this Balearic holiday promises to be Kevin and Perry's coming of age, Mum and Dad just have to tag along to look after their son, catch some rays, and check out the "groovy" new sounds coming from Ibiza's local discos. And that's SO UNFAIR!!!

Kevin And Perry Go Large, then, demonstrates that rave culture has finally, irrevocably been swallowed up by the mainstream. Fear not, parents--the book balks at any explicit references to ecstasy usage-but all the same, it's hardly the most sanitary of reads. Take, for example, the section where the hapless Perry pushes a mammoth turd round uber-lord Superstar DJ Eye Ball Paul's toilet U-bend, just so he'll give their record a spin. Or the chapter on how to pop zits. Or the erection that foils a bank robbery. Or the ... oh, you get the picture.

Enfield's humour works, as ever, by exploding clich�s--here, that of rave culture, holidaying Brits, and of course, the mannerisms of the difficult teenager--into repulsive, lurid caricatures. It all paints a pretty ugly picture, but take a look at the state of Ibiza now-it's an unpalatable truth that Kevin And Perry Go Large is funny because it's oh so true. --Louis Pattison
