Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
peterrichboy For those like me who remember the much underrated Mike Leigh classic Nuts In May. Then Julia Davis Camping brings it back to life kicking and screaming into the 21st century. The plot is simple three middle age couples meet up to celebrate a 50th birthday by going on a camping trip. Whilst they may be friends each couple has in one way or another reached mid life crisis. One recently divorced brings along a younger sex mad girlfriend. The other two miserably unhappy with there dull lives, one a recovering alcoholic the other a neurotic mother who is convinced by listening to the right music and eating the right food will prevent her son from being gay! Add to the mix a randy pubescent teenager a creepy landowner who looks after his dieng mother while serving sausages and you have the mad black comedic genius that is Julia Davis. A classic
Funny Onion This series is a little gem and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it on NowTV. If you judge the series by Episode 1 alone, you're probably missing one of the best comedy series of 2016. The first episode simply introduces the characters and places them into context in the story-line. Keep watching past the first episode and the characters and story-line develop into something deliciously funny and very watchable. Yes, some of the characters and antics are cringe-worthy, but remember this is all part of the comedy. I ended up watching all six episodes back to back, culminating in an absolutely brilliant final episode. If you get the chance to watch it - then do. It's very good.
slightlymagik Fully enjoyed this series, albeit a couple of saggy middle episodes, the transformation from first to last episode is amazing, so dark at times and so funny, David Bamber's character especially stood out, painfully awkward to a degree not seen before, taking cringe-com to a whole new level. Big fan of Julia Davis, best woman in comedy, always pushing it forward. If you enjoyed her previous work please stick with this. I have read some other reviews citing how bad this is, this is simply not true, at first the viewer is unsure if Julia has lost her touch but I assure you she hasn't! you cannot take your eyes off the screen in the last couple of episodes, very strong finish.
duncanwn Firstly, before I give my opinion, I have to comment on that of others. Saying re: Tom and Fay "the bloke with his new girlfriend is just embarrassing" shows that you've entirely missed the point. Of COURSE its embarrassing. Its supposed to be embarrassing, cringeworthy even. What you've done there is identified what the writer intends the audience to do, then listed it as a bad point. Why? Its like saying you don't like The Office because David Brent isn't a very good manager. Another reviewer mentions that a character "grates." - Yes, again, well done for stating the obvious. That's because the writer wants to convey the awkwardness and closeness of a holiday with other people, particularly in the claustrophobic microcosm of a camping holiday. People do "grate" but you're all in it together for 7 or 14 days - biting your tongue is just as essential as a groundsheet on a camping holiday with "other couples". Now I've run out of room to praise the incredible dialogue "I just went into Topshop and expressed myself. They're skinny carrots." Tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about a 40-something man trying to be 28 again. Julia Davis - promise me you will never stop making your characters say aloud what the rest of us are ashamed for even thinking. I'm off to a covered arcade with my hessian tote...
