Top review. Having only recently read 'Take It Like A Man', Boy George's compelling and brilliantly entertaining autobiography, I was excited by the prospect of this. I've never been a Culture Club or Boy George fan, but I love tales of rock 'n' roll excess and I was happy to find the book did exactly this. This film, however, proved to be a bit of an anti-climax.

Whilst everything appeared to be accurately depicted and the era authentically portrayed, the problem was that it stopped just as things were getting interesting.

The book really came into its own once Boy George and Culture Club found fame but film stops dead at this point, with the exception of a few flash-forwards to when George was engulfed in controversy and smack addiction. I appreciate what went on before is relevant but what was shown in the film should have been condensed down, allowing the majority of it to focus on what happened thereafter.

But I guess that ultimately wasn't the point. I definitely think George's fame, popularity and infamously colourful life warrants a screen adaptation, but merely giving us an insight into what went on beforehand makes me think this was a missed opportunity. On a slightly more positive note, to hear that the lead was only 17 is astounding and he did a terrific job in what must have been a very challenging role. Details Edit. Release date May 16, United Kingdom.

United Kingdom. No word yet on what he make of his cartoonish portrayal, but we can guess. From South Wales to the king of the West End underground, Strange was the hard-to-please doorman of Blitz , the club that incubated the New Romantic movement, which in turn staffed the charts, boutiques and style magazines of the 80s.

His trick was to hold up a mirror to desperate punters trying to enter and ask them: "Have you seen yourself? Would you let yourself in? Things haven't panned out so well in recent years: his autobiography, Blitzed! His talent was for seizing the germ of an idea or spirit, and spinning it into something bigger and more fantastical — as manager of the Sex Pistols, an early collaborator with Vivienne Westwood, and with his own recordings.

He died of cancer in April, aged Fronted by Annabella Lwin and best remembered for the enduring cover of I Want Candy , this briefly successful concoction of squealing vocals and African drum beats was contrived by Malcolm McLaren to promote Vivienne Westwood's clothes.

They've intermittently reformed but never troubled the charts since — their website shows their tour diary empty since summer The straight north London boys amid the preening peacocks of the Blitz crowd, this five-piece — led by songwriter Gary Kemp, with brother Martin on bass — were mocked for their "tea-towel chic" but cleaned up in the charts throughout the 80s with hits including True and Gold.

They split in amid recriminations and legal battles — the Kemps went into acting they played the Kray twins, then Martin had a role in EastEnders — but reformed last year for a world tour and a new album, due this year. It wasn't just the Boy George show. His tempestous relationship with good-looking drummer Jon Moss helped drive and destroy the band. One of the best scenes in Worried About the Boy features George crashing his Ford Granada into Jon's ornamental pond then vomiting in it.

Bassist Mikey Craig and hairdresser Roy Hay on guitar and keyboards completed the lineup. Various reunion attempt followed. Craig ended up performing with a Culture Club tribute act, Culture Dub.
