Kelly Brook’s Forgotten Film Rated 0% on Rotten Tomatoes Resurfaces as She Enters the Jungle
As Kelly Brooks prepares to dive into the challenges of the jungle this weekend on “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here,” her previous work in film, particularly a notorious entry, has resurfaced in public discussions. In 2012, Brook starred in the British comedy “Keith Lemon: The Film,” which shockingly holds a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, joining the ranks of what many deem the worst films ever made.
In “Keith Lemon: The Film,” Brook portrayed herself as a love interest for the title character, played by Leigh Francis. The film emerged from the success of the television panel show “Celebrity Juice,” where the eccentric character of Keith Lemon originally thrived. However, the movie diverged markedly from the show’s format, treating viewers to a barrage of adult themes, explicit humor, and a host of celebrity cameos.
Directed by Paul Angunawela, “Keith Lemon: The Film” features a mix of well-known figures including David Hasselhoff, Gary Barlow, Peter Andre, Emma Bunton, and the ever-controversial Jedward. The narrative centerpieces around Keith Lemon’s tumultuous journey post-business failure and his attempts to salvage his relationship with his pregnant girlfriend, Rosie, portrayed by Laura Aikman. As Lemon stumbles upon a dubious phone invention that brings him fortune, the storyline spirals into a series of outlandish escapades, including a kidnapping plot involving a gangster named Evil Steve.
Critics have not held back in their reviews. One harsh critique encapsulated the general sentiment towards the film: “To be honest, it was the worst film ever. Keith Lemon is ok for TV but not for the big screen. Kelly Brook was D-list. It’s not funny at all.” Another reviewer expressed disbelief at its comedic attempts, describing the humor as “so bad and immature, they make you feel uncomfortable,” calling it an endeavor that felt reminiscent of a child’s school assignment.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative reception, the film did find a small niche audience. Some fans of the original television series found enjoyment in the film, with one viewer remarking, “Never seen Celebrity Juice before, but thought this film was freaking hilarious!” Another added, “If you watch it and like Keith Lemon, then you will love the film.”
As Kelly Brook embarks on her new adventure in the jungle, her involvement in “Keith Lemon: The Film” stands as a reminder of the varied paths in her career, from model to television star and now a reality show participant. “Keith Lemon: The Film” remains available for streaming on Amazon Prime, with rental options on Apple TV for those curious to explore what has sparked such polarized opinions.
