Reviews

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Paul Evans It doesn't surprise me to see the generally negative reviews, sadly it wasn't the joy fest that many had hoped for. When you look at the cast, Steadman, Cleese, Scanlon etc. it should have been so much better. I found it watchable, typical Sunday tea time viewing, similar to Still Open all hours and Last of the Summer Wine in its latter years. The kind of show you don't mind washing the dishes to, before the real Sunday Night viewing starts. The ideas for the show were really good, the scripts however weren't up to much. I will praise Cleese for his presence, and I always find Steadman very watchable, but the only real highlight was the comedy that Jason Watkins brought, although he was done a disservice by the scripts.The humour seemed dated, but dated in a 90's ITV kind of sitcom way, as opposed to classic 80's BBC. There is something good lurking here, good actors, good ideas, but if it returns, we need some new writers on board please.Mediocre, 5/10
guypid Surely they did a read through of this rubbish. They must have known it was bad before they let it out to the public. These are good actors. Aren't they? Were they?
michaelant555 If you're an avid Remoaner who is pining for the UK to rejoin the EU then you will no doubt wallow in the subtle, and not so subtle, innuendos peppered throughout this program. Even the theme tune, 'Have I The Right' by The Honeycombs is blatantly Remain-oriented. The only thing I found redeeming about this, as a Brexiter, is that it's completely unfunny and not likely to attract many viewers. The fact that the brilliant John Cleese is in this is the only reason I didn't give it a negative rating. I decided to abstain from voting instead of giving it a negative one.
dmcmrd Awful. Stereo typical 'Terry & June' Metropolitan/Home Counties suburbia. (Might be Maidenhead, the bridge looked familiar?) Silly, but not in a good 'Reeves & Mortimer' way. The script obvious and very unoriginal. So I expect the Beeb will already be commissioning another 10 series to bore us for the next several years. Hope not.
