SummarySet deep in the Scottish Highlands, Get Duked (formerly titled "Boyz In The Wood") is an anarchic satire of generational politics, hip-hop loving farmers and hallucinogenic rabbit shites that puts the youth of tomorrow against the status quo of yesterday.

“Boyz in the Wood” is a jolt of irreverent fun that wants you to laugh at the stupid and depraved behavior of teenage boys but also to know that at the end of the day, the kids will be all right.

By mixing slapstick humor, outright silliness, and a psychedelic edge, Doff trades tension for laughs. He also has a political point to make about class divisions and the haves-and-have-nots.

I really enjoyed this one, very funny. At times of course a bit dumb etc but typical for such type of comedies. Was lots of fun

So even though Get Duked! is a slapstick, rap-fueled horror comedy about a bunch of Scottish inner-city kids being hunted in the glens by a pair of rich snobs disguised as the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, you could slap a "Filmed at Ealing Studios" card at the end, and you'd know exactly what to expect.

Doff may have thrown in a kitchen sink of clichés, but he knows exactly how to marry them together. The result is an endearingly uproarious affair.

A general lack of urgency are the main things holding Get Duked! back from being as good as it is promising.

Boyz in the Wood isn’t perfect (there isn’t really a wood in it as such and the title is a bit strained), but there’s likable wackiness and weirdness, one or two sizable laughs and a very bizarre deus ex machina moment.

A too-familiar vibe hangs over much of the film, whose comic violence is nothing new and whose banter underwhelms, but the pic gets more fun as it goes, especially after an unlikely hallucinogen makes its entrance.

★ A dark, surreal comedy out of Scotland, brought by a cast & director who knew what they wanted & grabbed it. Explosive with visuals & rap, with a surprising twist of the sinister. Always wondered what the boys in Stand By Me would be like, drug fueled & hunted...

¿Get Duked!' channels 'Trainspotting' and Taika Waititi tell a story of misfits that group together for an adventure of a lifetime. There are some good laughs in there and even a social commentary that may be very obvious, but it works in the end. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
