Defenitly one of the greatest movies. The movie is based on true events and I really disagree about the Comedy genre that some think it is. It is certainly an emotional movie that makes you reflect.

Frankie Wilde is a world wide known DJ, until he slowly losses his hearing that is. He then becomes desperate and locks himself up and disappears from the DJ scene. Then he comes back up and looks at life from the bright side. He tries to climb back to the glory he had when he heard but DJ'ing without hearing what your mixing is not an easy task. Will he manage to do so?? Find out yourself. But you can't deny some scenes that's impossible not to laugh at but the movie is certainly not comedy (excluding particular scenes)

This movie I reccomend to ANYONE who wants to see a decent movie. I liked it so much and i'm watching it over and over again. The story makes you reflect and think: It's sad being deaf, and how can you manage not hearing when you was hearing before? How can you make you have a job that you need your ears to make money and you lose your hearing ability? I certainly loved the movie and it made me reflect after seeing it. Perfect Flick. Must-See.

  The movie catches us up so profoundly in Frankie's self-destructive spiral (and gradual rehab), it's as though we're seeing it all for the first time. I'd like to say that's because the story is true, only it isn't.

  "Trainspotting" redux.

  The downward arc of the first two acts of the movie is made harrowing and yet perversely amusing by the performance of Paul Kaye.

  An acquired taste that you may not acquire. I did, but it took me a while.

  This is phony, absolutely, but the good feeling it leaves behind is plenty real.

  Like "This Is Spinal Tap," It's All Gone Pete Tong should have a long afterlife as a midnight-movie special.

  A smart albeit uneven jab at everything from the clubbing life to the male inclination toward Peter Pan.

  The British comic turned actor (Paul Kaye) appears in almost every scene and he carries that weight admirably. He manages the very neat trick of keeping you interested in a character who doesn't merit our affection but earns it nonetheless.

  Australian mockumentary offers plenty of cheap laughs early on.

  Colorful, sometimes endearing but highly uneven picture.

  Grounded by a gutsy, over-the-edge-and-back performance by Paul Kaye as Frankie, It's All Gone Pete Tong takes the long way around before finally redeeming itself.

  The only problem is that he's been such a shallow, ridiculous figure that exhuming any real sympathy for the guy is a Herculean task.

  Just inspiring enough, just scary enough, just sappy enough and just funny enough to get by.

  The entire movie rides on Paul Kaye's performance.

  It lacks the genuine wit to elevate it to a truly satirical level.
