When British brothers, Andy and Chaz head to states in search of the American dream, they get more than they bargained for…
By Sean Borg
Thursday friends and celebrities gathered in Hollywood at Dim Mak Studios on Hollywood Boulevard for a private screening of the series Andy & Chaz Bugger Off To America! Currently in the works, and I have to say, it went down a storm (er, so did the free Vodka)…
On arrival, attendees including Bai Ling, and Mama Mia actor Emrhys Cooper (with his lovely mom) posed proudly for their mug shots for a sea of paps at the red carpet event.
With their motto, “Going straight has never been so crooked,” blue-collar cockneys, Andy & Chaz, played by Craig Robert Young (pictured left) and Darren Darnborough (pictured right) can’t seem to stay out of trouble and one thing leads to another, and another… and eventually this ‘bloody’ gruesome Guy Ritchie/Tarantino-esque caper (which sees Chaz dismembering the body of an A-list Hollywood star with a hacksaw) is out of control…
Now if that doesn’t have you all wanting to watch, then just wait till you see the scene where Andy shags a prostitute to death…say no more!
The project, the brainchild of ex Charmed star Young has been in development for over two years, but the buzz on this hilariously daring dark comedy series is only just beginning and the suits in Hollywood are starting to sit up.
Young told me, “It’s a great time for British actors to bugger off to America, we are overwhelmed with the response and attention that Andy and Chaz has garnered so far, the use of media applications, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook has really got us noticed and helped spread the word.”
He added: “Andy and Chaz is what would happen if you put Pulp Fiction and The Hangover in a blender!”
Directed by talented newcomer Richard Keith, Andy & Chaz Bugger Off To America! is sure to be a series you’ll get to see on a TV set in the not-so-distant future….
All-in-all a good night was had all round, and after one too many vodkas I scarpered for the door… I didn’t want to end up having my mug shot taken for real, if you get my drift…
My Verdict: Excellent series, but hangovers are messy!
