Bula Quo! – review

Are Status Quo's Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt actually starring in their own action movie?

It's surely a hallucination: an action movie, cobbled together to mark Status Quo's 50th anniversary, in which Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi are forced on the run in Fiji after exposing an illegal gambling ring. I may have witnessed Craig Fairbrass thumping somebody into unconsciousness with a flip-flop. The hits ring out loud and clear, and Parfitt and Rossi are typically laidback and likable. The rest's rather too relaxed: all low-octane, MacGyver-y escapes on golf buggies and scenic railways, it's cosily plodding and not notably rock'n'roll – but then, isn't that somehow so very Quo?

Rating: 2/5

• Action and adventure
