In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Truly good comedy, excellent writing, for anyone who appreciates comedy as art

I also have to disagree with the one star review. Though if that person had started with the first episode instead of the second I think their thoughts might have been much different. Every series takes time to find their rhythm, and the level and quality between episodes will always vary. This series is absolutely brilliant, and is a wonderful mix of zaniness, hilarity and quirkiness. For us yanks it does take a bit to get accustomed to the Irish accents, and some of the societal references will be lost on those outside Ireland and the UK, but anyone willing to invest a little time and patience will be well rewarded. I couldn't recommend this series more highly.

I respectfully disagree with the 1 star review - yes you're meant to think Eamon is a moron and like all characters, the great ones are never the main/lead roles (See Ep 3 - Frank in the bed!). Having grown up in the 80's with Irish family members on both sides of the border, there are references and idiosyncrasies within the script that have kept me chuckling and the black-market condom scenes were brilliant. Comparing Bridget & Eamon to Seinfeld is pointless, as B&E isn't trying to be intelligent. Given the similarities I've seen between the characters and my own Irish family members I imagine a great proportion of the script is inspired by their own experiences. The costume, titles, cinematography help paint the 80's vibe - which I love. The show reminds a little of Father Ted.

I managed to catch the second episode of Bridget & Eamon. Admittedly it takes time for comedies to develop. Unfortunately I can see no foundation on which to build a series. It will take time for the "talent" to fix the many problems in the show, which will be difficult because they don't appear to have any talent. They need the live audience from The Big Bang Theory, experts at laughing at nothing. The closest we get to comedy is characters shouting loudly, a badly choreographed fight scene and the F bomb being dropped for no reason. The writers may have attempted to write jokes, but have seemingly only succeeded in making themselves laugh, and no one else. Sure, Jerry Seinfeld only wanted Larry David to laugh,and vice versa, but they were intelligent and articulate. They're witty observations tapped into a collective conscience. There's nothing in Bridget & Eamon that anyone can relate to. It's set in the 80's, broadcast in 2016 but has nothing to say about either time period. It takes place in an alternate universe, a live action series which inexplicably contains cartoon characters. And there's the biggest problem, characters. Eamon is a big, loud fool. He gets drunk, threatens to fight himself and falls over. I've seen that character far too often in television and movies, enough. Bridget is a one dimensional Hyacinth Bucket knock off, who tortures dogs with her high pitched whining. Episode two is awful. There's no evidence in that episode that the series could improve. Even if it does, I'll never watch it again. Bridget & Eamon episode two is the worst thing I've ever seen on television.
