Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox film Dog Eat Dog is a 2001 British sex comedy film, directed by Moody Shoaibi and written by Moody Shoaibi and Mark Tonderai.[1]

Plot

Four friends, Rooster, CJ, Jess and Chang, dream of making it as DJs but first they need cash — lots of it, and fast. Their lack of funds is compounded by problems ranging from small (cheating girlfriends, mothers in sleazy movies) to large (the towering presence of Tunde, the local porn king). They come up with various schemes, each more harebrained than the last—stealing library books, breaking and entering, dognapping—all with a spectacular lack of success. And into the bargain, they've fallen foul of drugs baron, Jesus (Gary Kemp), whose slogan is "You've gotta have faith in Jesus".

Cast

Reception

The film received mixed reviews. According to Time Out, "[Shoaibi and Tonderai's] debut feature basically resembles an extended sitcom" and "The film's gross-out humour actually smacks of the Farrelly Brothers' sloppy seconds, right down to the compulsory semen gag."[2] Jamie Russell, writing for the BBC, gave the film two out of five stars, concluding that "Its heart is in the right place, but there's no escaping the fact that this is lightweight stuff."[1]
