Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

dazzabazza Is this supposed to be a comedy show ? I struggled through 2 episodes and didn't laugh once ! Am I missing something here ? I'm not surprised as it's written by and stars the over-rated David Walliams. What a load of tosh !I thought I had a good sense of humour, loving the original Porridge, Only Fools, Blackadder, Bottom and stuff like that. This is just a load of tripe in the same league as Jack Whitehall's show . If this is the best we can come up with we are screwed !

lynnylulu Having read the "bad" reviews by people who'd seen the FIRST episode only - made me write this review out of disgust! I really enjoyed this series, it's well written, laugh out loud funny, even touching and the acting & characterisation is excellent. Well you can't please everyone when it comes to humour but I think they've done a very good job of this one. One of the best sitcoms I've seen for years. In the tradition of Porridge and Faulty Towers, yes, it's in the old school but I think there's a lot of us out there wanting to see something fresh but classic. I can't be the only person out there who's fed up with so called comedy where they're so scared of making an ism that there's no comedy left just "laughs" based on bodily fluids and rude words for body parts. I left THAT kind of humour behind when I left primary school. So well done BBC, please can we have more Sir?

pocky fdadada Never have I seen a show with so many of my favorite people in it be so terrible. I mean Walliams and Tate have a long history of fantastic comedy but I found myself not even cracking a smile. Very disappointed, every joke is executed painfully and badly. After watching the first episode I never wanted to see it again, but I made myself watch the second to be fair, as pilots/first episodes can sometimes be terrible. But no, after watching the second episode I don't think I'll be watching this again, I have no idea how anyone can find this funny in the slightest. It's not even a "so bad it's good" type of thing either. I have no clue how comedy masterminds came up with something so bad.

Jan-Peter Scheffer The present, ridiculously low score prompted me to write a short review.The setting, the story, the characters of Big School are both typically British and universal, and though each character is well defined by their role, each actor in the very talented cast is allowed to show their individual craft, sometimes genius, a freedom that, especially in the experienced hands of David Walliams, Catherine Tate and Philip Glenister, produces some high quality comedic characterizations of the archetypal figures that we encounter in the odd, but equally classic school setting that they populate.I can't fault this production, having very much enjoyed the first two episodes, and I'm rather looking forward to seeing the rest of this well-thought-out, well-produced new BBC series.
