SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
englishtnscones For a long time I really liked this series, but the more I watched it, I found myself tired of listening to Lionel. He's very whiny and doesn't seem to appreciate joy; actually a very negative character. For example, when Alistar is trying to cheerfully promote his mediocre book and make him a success, Lionel basically bucks him the whole way; as though he being dragged to fame kicking and screaming and complaining the whole time. It seemed as though all the characters were focused on cheering him up and it became exhausting to watch. I prefer other Britcoms to this one. For example, Red Dwarf, The IT Crowd, etc. I'm just find some characters in Britcoms quintessentially "British" or happy to be cynical and full of negative gloom. Cheer up mates! You won the war!
maxcellus46 How many shows on TV, and especially "sitcoms", of the last 15-20 years can you consider as being actually funny but also well written and intelligent? Not many by my count: about only two, "Seinfeld" and "As Time Goes By." I watch this series over and over again and never tire of the characters or the stories. A great performance happens when you forget that these are all actors performing and begin to follow and listen to them as real people. Advice from Spencer Tracy "Never act" and this cast does just that. They are so natural and the chemistry amongst them is so perfect, that you forget that you're watching a TV show and feel like you're privy to people's personal lives. And the stories and writing are superb! Nothing that's done or said just for a cheap quick laugh or gag but something that not only amuses but stimulates your brain as well without being "brainy." "As Time goes By" deserves, if hasn't already received, some sort of an award or testimonial to its brilliance. ALL of the cast/writers/directors/producer deserve a "Royal" recognition of some kind for their lovingly approach to this wonderful show! A major and heartfelt thanks to Jean/Judi Dench & Lionel/Geoffrey Palmer for their performances!!!
n-naqib "As Time Goes By" is heir to the finest tradition of British situation comedy: fully realised characters (Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer are terrific as the couple who find each other again in late middle age), scintillating dialogue, understated, witty humour and the kind of self deprecating irony that never spills over into bleakness or cynicism. And like another well-loved comedy, "Fraiser", it enshrines the bonds of family, always in the subtlest of ways. Add to that the pace (gentle and modulated) and the fine supporting cast and you have a show that is a delight to watch. It is also ultimately what it says it is -- a musing about time: time lost, time re-gained, and the power of memory.
Charles Delacroix My mother and I have watched this on PBS every Sunday night for the past several years. And we both absolutely love it. The characterizations are perfect, the characters credible and amiable, the dialog VERY well written, the entire series reliably funny and likable and just plain delightful.My mother and I always say at the end of each episode something like this: "They're such nice people ... wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have them for neighbors?" How many characters in either movie or TV can that be said of? I can't find a rating opportunity for this one. Darn. I would give it a 9 out of 10.
