GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
bravesfan35 When I heard they made a movie from Are You Being Served, I was more than intrigued to check it out. Sadly, it lacked the hilarity of the TV series. Many of the lines in the movie were taken from various episodes of the series and just weren't as funny without the audience laughter. I liked that the original cast was all in it but seeing this movie just once was enough for me. I think the only BritCom that can pull off making movies and have them be just as funny as the series is Monty Python. I believe if Keeping Up Appearances or Allo Allo tried to make a movie, it would be just as much of a disaster as the Are You Being Served movie. If you're a die-hard fan of Are You Being Served, don't waste your time seeing the movie. You'll be disappointed.
studioAT This big screen outing of Are You Being Served is not as loved as the series is but it still features the original (and by far the best) cast at the top of their game and features lots of laugh out loud moments.The film struggles to adapt with not having the laughter track behind and the jokes are left hanging because of it. Without it the piece doesn't flow as it could which is a shame because the jokes do come thick and fast.Also some routines that have previously been used in the series are recycled but they are worth another viewing because they are so good.Overall a good rarely seen film that is well worth a look for those who already know the series and for those just discovering it.
filmbuff69007 This is like a Carry on.with loads of laughs Mr Rumbold is absolutely hilarious.Its surprising that so little of the cast were used in carry ons they certainly could tell the same jokes with a twinkle in there eye.this is bawdy postcard humour at its best.
martin-217 Ignore the gargantuan ballot-stuffing--median 10.0 indeed!For fans of the tv show this is somewhat amusing, but as a movie it's just shamefully inadequate. In terms of pedigree, this is truly the progenitor of all those later scenarios where five-minute SNL skits had to come out as full-length movies. In the 1990's this would have gone direct-to-video.The regular cast all play as well as ever, but a surprising guest turn is Andrew Sachs who appears as the hotel manager... an amusing irony given his lasting fame as hotel lackey Manuel in "Fawlty Towers".
