GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Drew Andrews I have been a fan of Little Britain for a long time. I live in the USA but downloaded and watched all the UK episodes like I do a lot of British TV; Top Gear, Saxondale, Ali-G, I'm Allen Partridge, the Original Office, etc, etc.. I am a true lover and connoisseur of UK comedy shows. Little Britain is no Saxondale but it is a great show.When I first saw Little Britain USA I nearly threw up laughing so hard! Not only has the show evolved and gotten more edgy it is clear that they are able to go much further because of the R rated content HBO allows that BBC in the UK did not.It funny to see the negative responses on here, they seem to be mostly from people from the UK. And I suspect that the only reason they don't like it is because they went into it determined to hate it just because of the "USA" on the end of the title. If they ever got the show before they would really love the "USA" version that does not hold back! This show makes jokes about sexuality, racism, etc. that most American TV wont touch. This is something that has been funny about The Office, Saxondale, Ali-G, even Top Gear for years. The fact that the people from Britain don't get how over the top that is here for this audience, mixed with the sheer raunchiness allowed by HBO over BBC is truly their loss!! And I suspect more about a miss placed sense of anti-Americanism than a true evaluation of the show!!
racheljordan I'm sorry to say I agree with comments, I don't tow any line.... little Britain was the first show for years that made me laugh, shock, tears, belly laugh... prior to this Monty python; black adder; wood and Walters.. I had high expectations. I am gutted. Not only have they as performers sold out... canned laughter... predictable jokes...sycophantic to u.s.d - the worst thing of all - they have sold out their characters, how can Andy watch Lou on t.v walking - stealing a kids car - the whole situ/comedy comes from Andy's naivety and ignorance and Lou's exploitation of this....the intro of new characters all cater to an American audience, but i doubt the U.S fans who originally followed the show and made it infamous, the whole thing feels alien and treacherous.... Tom baker thankfully hasn't changed, his script is new but his tone still maintains the sardonic balls and gusto (recorded in u.k away from the new york dazzle!).... Don't SELL OUT GUYS (I think overall USA tart. sorry Dave, is walliams) - We don't want this - The U.S don't want this - pls let this be some bizarre master plan... anyhow... Tara
brettster To begin with, I'm a major fan of Little Britain. I consider these guys to be geniuses, on par with Monty Python when it comes to English humor. I own all of their works on DVD and have seen the sketches numerous times. So what happened in the transition from the UK to the USA? We happened to them. For as many great comedies HBO has produced -- The Larry Sanders Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mr. Show, et al. -- somebody at the pay channel really fumbled in bringing this classic British duo to Yankee turf. Here's what happened: they added the clumsiest, most fake-sounding laugh track in the history of television to the soundtrack. WHO thought it was necessary to do this? It sounds like rubbish! I'm talking great hysterical frenzies of laughter, even at the most subtle of jokes (which I know is rare in Little Britain territory). It was so painful to watch the first episode, I abandoned it a quarter of the way through. I really hope they will tone it down in future -- I have been looking forward to Little Britain USA for such a long time, it is terribly dispiriting to see what HBO has done with this grotesque soundtrack.
GeddyLeeForMe I have never seen this show or any of this groups' previous shows. I'd never even heard of them, although it seems now that they have been around more than a few years. I'll say in advance that I enjoy British humor, especially Monty Python & Tracey Ullman. I enjoy anything funny & well made, regardless of where it's from. When I found this show listed on HBO OnDemand I popped some popcorn & took over the couch.I nearly died laughing. That was just the first 5 minutes. I had to stop it a few times because I laughed so hard I missed some of it & had to back it up. Watching this program felt like I was making a new friend, someone that would happily be in my life forever. I want more. I NEED MORE.To me, this show is Kids In The Hall meets Monty Python with Reno 911 sprinkled on top, but DIRTY funny too. Funny British Comedy! Funny Comedy for any country.I've watched the Little Britain USA twice more & sat down to write it up here, which I've NEVER done before. I am sure there will be some who disagree with my initial feelings for this show after my first viewing, but that's some people for you! Some people have a sense of humor, some don't. And I stand by my warning...Go to the bathroom before you watch this show. I wish someone had warned me.
