Synopsis

The trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band who have moved from New Zealand to New York in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
jones-ben42 This is one of those shows in which it is difficult to explain why you love it so much, but you do. There is definitely a charming simplicity to the show, not to mention that it is wonderfully written and acted. Bret and Jemaine are so brilliant yet naive in their roles. It's impossible not to love them as they struggle to make their way as a band in America. I'm not going to lie, the first few episodes won't pull you in quite as well as some other shows have; however, some of my favorite shows need to grow on you. For example, Mad Men and Breaking Bad are two of my favorite shows ever made and I can't say I was captivated after a few episodes. It would be a crime to say I don't hold Flight of the Conchords in a similar regard. The musical pieces are memorable and hilarious and the show was ended far too soon. Definitely one to buy.
postersized A comedy Musical , i only watched this as i was keen to see whatever happened to The Eagle from eagle V shark (an excellent movie - watch if you haven't). True natural comedy, witty in the fact these people seem to be 'real' people. Playing a role of people who think they are better at what they do than they actually are and not as intelligent as the average sole. Two Musicians that never play gigs , they are managed by a guy that seems to have no idea what a manager is, a band wit 1 fan or is she a stalker. If you like Napolean Dynamite then you'll enjoy this. Even the lyrics to the songs are superb. Hopefully this show will last a few series and will win many awards it deserves.
h2o_ns Words truly can't express the way I feel about Flight of the Conchords. My younger brother showed me a clip of their song "Business Time" performed live and ever since I've been hooked. The show itself is truly hilarious, but what really makes it a true 10/10 is the music. With songs like Business Time, Robots, Beautiful Girl, Bowie, Leggy Blonde and many more this show will make you cry tears of joy. Not only are the duo of the band brilliant but they also have comedians Rhys Darby as their hilariously pathetic band manager Murray and Arj Barker as their friend and local pawn shop guy to teach them how things work in America.If you simply go over to Youtube and search for Flight of the Conchords you're bound to find an ample source of entertainment but trust me, watch the series as well; it is simply brilliant.
paul2001sw-1 'Flight of the Conchords' tells the story of a couple of musicians from New Zealand trying to make it in a band in New York. They're not very good, they have no girlfriends, one fan and an incompetent manager (Rhys Darby, who steals most of the scenes he's in), and everybody just loves their English accents. The series' twelve episodes follow their failures. So what's so great? Partly its the absolutely deadpan way in which the undynamic duo's misadventures are depicted; but mainly its the songs, which are brilliantly bad, pastiches of real musical styles but hilariously funny (although the songs feature mainly in "music videos" or in scenes which blend the characters' imaginations with real life; on the rare occasions the band actually gets a gig, their act consists of an anaemic chant of "we like to rock the party" over a badly strummed guitar - there is a reason for the band's lack of success!). In some ways, this is 'Spinal Tap', but with more musical variety; and the funniest program of the year.
