Robbie Lockie we found this documentary on Netflix, I'd heard about Lauren's transition. I did not expect to be confronted with such a mocking and withered attack on an eccentric British family.I felt like the entire family where on trial the entire documentary.This whole documentary is an assignation on a collection of people.The constant pauses and attempts to trap the the person in front of the camera, the awful organ music.What an utter mess.Watching stuff like this makes me realize and determine to produce good documentaries about interesting and unusual people.Is this the dribble that was on TV 12 years ago?

Jam-ez Before anyone reading this review watches this documentary, i feel compelled to warn you that this is LITRALLY the most bias and unfair documentary I have ever seen. At the very beginning, I was quite surprised when a warning message flashed up, but I didn't have to wait long to find out why. It soon becomes apparent that Keith Allen intended from the off set to humiliate and exploit this notorious family for entertainment. Ironically throughout the film, Keith contradicts his own style of aggressive "honest" documentary-making by suggesting that the Harries family are fame-hungry, media fanatic delusionists themselves. which is a bit rich coming from Lily Allens father.There are many unsupported accusations from host Keith during the documentary. Its clear that the production team wanted as much dirt as possible on Lauren, and didn't really care about the obvious impact it would have on her and her family once aired.Towards the end of the hour long human bear-bating, Keith owns up to his many mistakes by making out his bully boy digs and back handed rude sniping was in fact because "he isn't like other documentary makers" who supposedly remain impartial to the subjects face, yet heavily two-faced in the editing room. The fact that Keith must have undoubtedly cosied up to the family while they played host to him for however long he was making the film slipped his mind somewhat, because lets be honest if he had gone in all guns blazing from the off-set then it would have been a very short film.Honest or not, You cant deny his behaviour is out of order and fuels the flames of hatred which many people have for this family, but thats what you get if you employ arrogant, delusional has-beens to host controversial shock-docs. His child-like temper tantrum at the end should have been the last nail in the coffin for Keiths presenting career- but sadly, recently he has been involved in making a new shock doc for the 2011 Cannes Film Festival along with Mohammed Al Fayed, about the death of Princess Diana... So lets look forward to another hour long bombardment of bias propaganda!

teethgrrrinder Having grown up with little slices of child-freak James Harries making it all the way the Australia, i was damn excited about a documentary. this incredibly interesting subject of a person so desperate for media attention they have become a fake child prodigy to hideous transsexual. it also delves into the Harries family ...a weird weird family.Most of these opportunities are wasted and washed over by Keith Allen making himself the star of the documentarymaybe we are spoiled with Louis Theroux and how he coaxes people into revealing themselves, but we watch documentaries for the subject, not the aggressive irritating smug host

Paul Bakalite The Harries family are shoddily treated in this film. They don't have great gifts but they are likable enough and Lauren (formerly odd little prodigy James Harries) has had to be tough to deal with others' ignorance - as many people who have had a sex change do. There is an increasing trend in television to humiliate and deceive participants in documentaries and reality shows. Is it the modern-day equivalent of throwing Christians to the lions?The Harries emerge from this film content in their eccentricity and should be respected for that. Presenter, Keith Allen, on the other hand appears narrow-minded and aggressive.
