Quite the anomaly. Paul Kaye puts on an incredible performance.

This movie has been entirely under my radar until Sound Of Metal came out and made waves last year. A few different people brought this movie up and called it "the original Sound Of Metal". While the primary plot point is generally the same (professional musician goes deaf and tries to deal with it in the best way they can figure out how), the movies couldn't be more different tonally - and guess what, they are both completely worth watching. While Sound Of Metal is a hyper-realistic, bleak, tasteful film - It's All Gone Pete Tong is almost the polar opposite. It's fully over-the-top, comical, loud, in your face, lightning paced, and hilarious.I was entirely unfamiliar with lead actor Paul Kaye but his performance as cocky Ibiza resident DJ Frankie Wilde floored me. He perfectly captures the highest level of comic character acting while simultaneously capturing a very real, very depressing element of a man completely lost in the sauce (his head all the way up his own ass, you could say). The film uses a mish-mash of filmmaking styles to conjure a very unique vibe when viewed as a whole - when I first turned it on I thought that maybe I was about to watch an actual documentary, but that very quickly transformed into something else, but even then, I still found myself wondering if this was in fact based on a true story or not. It felt like it had to be! (It's not).The first half of the film is such a riot that it demands a score as high as I've given it. However, I did find the second half to be less fulfilling as it very much turns into a sappy sort of happy ending that honestly feels a bit too far of a stretch from reality to be effective, and also a bit too far from the masterful hilarity of the first half of the film - like, why ditch it? If it would have kept the same tone all the way through it could have been a complete masterpiece.Now, I've gotta ask... why the hell is this movie called It's All Gone Pete Tong??? Pete Tong is an actual DJ and film producer in real life, and only appears once at the beginning of the film, interviewing Frankie Wilde - and then we only see his name once more, as the support act on a show flyer. That movie has almost nothing to do with him - why is his name in the title?! Second, I feel the need to add that this film was the follow-up to FUBAR - the second film from that director. I had no idea until doing research, but, it makes sense tonally & stylistically - it seems that this is his most acclaimed film, and I can see why. It stands out big time. The Fubar guys have small roles as absurd Austrian musicians too! I recommend this to those who are into absurd, over-the-top comedy.
