Synopsis

Jip (John Simm) lives in Cardiff, works at a clothes shop and is sexually paranoid. He lives for the weekends, going out with his friends and getting drugged out. The film focuses on one such weekend; Jip, Koop, Nina (Koop's girlfriend), Lulu and Moff go out to a club in Cardiff on Friday night with devious intentions. Throughout the course of the film, Lulu and Jip eventually get together and have sex; Moff has a discussion with a fellow partygoer about how Star Wars is a drug fantasy, and Koop and Nina argue over her flirtatious behaviour. The film ends with Jip and Lulu dancing in the street in a parody of 'typical' love story films.

Quotes

Jip : "All that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. I've got 48 hours off from the world, man. I'm gonna blow steam out of my head like a screaming kettle. I'm gonna talk codshit to strangers all night. I'm gonna lose the plot on the dancefloor, the free radicals inside me are freaking man! Tonight I'm Jip Travolta, I'm Peter Popper, I'm going to Never Never Land with my chosen family, man. We're going to get more spaced out than Neil Armstrong ever did. Anything could happen tonight, you know? This could be the best night of my life! I've got 73 quid in my backburner. I'm gonna wax the lot, man. The milky bars are on me! Yeah!"

Jip and Moff : "Nice one Bruva !!!"
