Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
harekrishna I'm going to have to add my whiny voice to the other anti-Tate posters on this board. I'm constantly astounded that people think this programme is funny or even watchable. I don't find it offensive, racist or sexist as some people seem to - quite the opposite, it's so tame and predictable that you'd have more fun auctioning dogs.There are a lot of people saying Little Britain is funnier than this - a fair enough comment, but they're really just comparing rubbish to a slightly less smelly kind of rubbish. They're fundamentally the same show and there's far, far better stuff out there.Please, to overseas viewers who've heard about this show - don't bother, I'd be mortified if you watched this and thought this is the pinnacle of modern British comedy. Watch something like Big Train or Spaced instead, which have genuine laughs in every scene, and skip this kind of tired catchphrase comedy that really should have been laid to rest with The Fast Show (which was, at least, inventive and occasionally funny).
ducey246 I have to disagree with everyone that has said they do not find 'The Catherine Tate Show' amusing. However I do take in to consideration that everyone finds humour in different ways. I think she has come up with a broad variety of great characters which she plays very well but it is important not to forget the other characters involved who make it even better including Matthew Horne, Derren Litten, Ella Kenion, etc. 'The Catherine Tate Show' is very different from 'Little Britain' in regards to the rudeness level. Where as with most 'Little Britain' scenes there is referral to gays, bisexuals, transvestites, racists, etc (very strong issues which some may find disturbing) 'The Catherine Tate Show' does not and finds humour in other ways.
Sian Gregory I think the Catherine Tate show is one of the modern comedies and comfortably fits with little Britain and the Office. She is truly one of the funniest women in Britian along with French and Saunders. And applies to all audiences.With the character Lauren, she cracks me up so much, as you could say it is realistic but its a bit over-done, yet still hilarious, I'm 15 and at school we find ourselves doing impressions of her to our teachers...so it beginning to come true in some ways and a common attitude in todays "teenage society"She can realistically take the micky out of ordinary people without being too over the top and too affensive, also looking genuine for example with the old grandma, she actually looks and sounds like one of those hags in England today who moan about everything (not saying all O.A.P's are like that!) In her early series she even mocked the ginger population and as she is ginger it was hilarious to watch her mock herself and me as i am "ginger", i couldn't stop laughing as it seemed so serious(but i say more auborn!) She comes across as taking her roles very seriously and it comes out as a masterpiece of comedy and i hate the fact that its only on for half an hour. If its ever on where ever you are WATCH IT...it's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!BRING OUT THE 3RD SERIES PLEASE!
general-melchett This was one of the least funny comedies I ever saw. It was entirely copied off Little Britain, the sketches were not even vaguely funny and it has an unoriginal title. Ms. Tate deserves to be shot for making this pile of rubbish. The "Christmas Special" was so rubbish that I almost fell asleep. Avoid this at all costs! It is about as funny as taking an arrow through your neck. Why people find this funny is beyond me. It isn't funny - it's just boring, unoriginal and weak. It's hardly offensive at all. Stay away from this and other rubbish like "Extras" and "The Office" (both made by Ricky Gervais), and buy some decent comedy like "Little Britain". GOODBYEEEE!
