This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Ariella Broughton
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Anoushka Slater
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I honestly remember this show well, I really loved Matt Lucas and David Williams teaming up together to play variety of stupid characters on the show who honestly would make you laugh.I remember back when I use to watch the Australian soap opera 'Neighbours' that they appeared as Lou & Andy from Little Britain on one episode in around 2005. I was just completely shocked and stunned that anyone like them would appear on the show, I think that was the highlight of that year on Neighbours to have the guys on! Anyways back to this show, my favorite character was Matt Lucas playing Vicky Pollard, she was hilarious and I liked how they used her as a typical teen as you know, those teenage years were terrible!It was fun but be aware of the naughty bits!

When I first saw 'Little Britain', I was so captivated and entertained, it quickly became my favourite show, I bought the first series on DVD, and was more than impressed. Then came the second series. The characters became much more dull and the sketches seemed repetitive, although to a lesser extent, still provided funny moments. The third series, I thought, added a bit of life back to the series, with new and funny characters and hilarious sketches. 'Little Britain Abroad' was then broadcast as a 2-part Christmas special. I noticed a lack of humour. I was impressed with 'Little Britain:Live' as I was thrilled by how Matt Lucas and David Walliams performed in front of a live audience. Then came the god-awful 'Little Britain USA'. I watched the first episode and rather enjoyed it, to say the least, but by the time the second episode was broadcast, I lost interest. The show had hit an all time low. I would recommend that Matt & David end the show now, on a high note, whilst its still possible.Above all, not a bad show, but it gets so repetitive.6/10

I watched these episodes on NetFlix and there are moments that are funny, but the comedy gets a little old after a while because of the limited number of characters. Not that this problem is all that unusual for a lot of sketch comedy.It reminds me a bit of MadTV or SNL with the repeating characters; with some of the vulgarity of South Park; and some absurdity as in Monty Python. It has much higher production values than the usual sketch comedy (which usually has an obvious look of being filmed on a set with cheap costumes and a "studio audience"). They make it look much more like a normal TV show.Some touches are outstanding--including some very funny characters, good voice-over and interesting ending vignettes.While it's undeniably entertaining, it has all the same problems that most sketch comedy has: some characters start becoming more annoying than funny after a while, especially if they were a little annoying to begin with. Give it time for shock-value to wear off or the line to be said one-too-many-times, or the main joke of a sketch becomes routine, and you'll start feeling a little weary of it. This is especially true if you watch episodes without giving some time in between.Examples: Dame Sally Markham was funny at first, but finding more ways for her to pad out her romance novels starts to get a little boring. Lou and Andy are also funny at first, but after a while I get tired of the 3 minute set-up for him to predictably change his mind about what he wants.Other characters are a little more funny such as Marjorie Dawes of FatFighters (the ultimate hypocrite who lectures everyone else and tries to act superior). It's a bit Church Lady-ish from SNL. Yet at least they put her in some different situations and give her more material. I find Vicky funny despite the repetitiveness.I'm sure the characters people get annoyed with depend on the personality and how often you see them.It's probably worth checking out the series if you haven't seen it, but don't watch too many in a row or you'll blow through the series and feel a little sick and annoyed in the process.

Says our dignified narrator and guide, "Britain...Britain...Britain...land of tradition...fish and fries...the changing of the garden...trooping the colours. Have you ever wondered about the people of Britain? Nor have I..." And with that, Matt Lucas and David Walliams take us into a Britain far removed from Jane Austin. Lucas is short, fat and hairless, something like a pink, soft kewpie doll. Walliams is tall, hirsute (hair suit?) and, depending on the occasion, wolfish or just showing a lot of teeth. They are the creators, writers and performers of Little Britain, a sketch comedy series centered on the lives of a dozen or so worst examples of British human life. Want an obnoxious, trouble-making teen with a thick accent and an excuse for everything? Try out Vicky Pollard. How about the effeminate assistant to the Prime Minister, who invariably finds excuses to fall to his knees directly in front of the man. Or the fat, wheelchair-bound Andy Pipkin, who mumbles and lolls, and is just too lazy to walk. And there's plump Daffyd Thomas, young Welsh lad who dresses in tight, bright polyester and is the only gay in his village...and is determined to keep it that way. And more and more. We visit them often, usually in places like Kelsey Grammar School and St. God's Hospital. Since Lewis and Walliams play all of them (backed up by a small cast of straight-faced actors), the old tradition in Britain of men wearing dresses is alive and well. There's nothing like it in the United States, and probably never will be. The FCC would have a fit, and so would most U.S. social service agencies. Little Britain is ferociously un-PC. If you think it is terrible taste to make fun of homosexuals, old ladies, the mentally disturbed, the fat, minorities, or any number of other groups (politicians and teenagers, of course, excepted), this is not the show for you. ("Are you fat because you're a lesbian or are you a lesbian because you're fat?") Matt Lucas and David Walliams have created a world (and a series) that is silly, bawdy, brutal, clever, satiric, surreal, lewd and funny. It's best watched in small doses. Little Britain was so popular in Britain that it just about became an empire...Christmas specials, performances for charity, a try at transplanting to America, interviews and awards. Of course, the pecksniffs and self-appointed moral guardians are always on the alert. Said one British critic, "Little Britain has been a vehicle for two rich kids to make themselves into multi-millionaires by mocking the weakest people in Britain. Their targets are almost invariably the easiest, cheapest groups to mock: the disabled, poor, elderly, gay or fat. In one fell swoop, they have demolished protections against mocking the weak that took decades to build up." Perfectly true. Shame they're so funny.
