Pluskylang Great Film overall

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

natalie-29959 This has to be one of the best series I have ever watched. Laugh till you fall off your chair funny. It is dark, sarcastic and typical of great British television. If you like dark humour and need a break from American "funny" make a point of watching this series, your biggest regret will be that they stopped after 3 seasons.Bernard is the worst boss (and probably person) ever while Fran is beyond "blonde", while Manny is typical of a down-trodden past sell-by date hippie.Just good watching!! Wish there was more.

Chihiro Black Books introduce us to three funny people. Bernard, is an owner of a Book Shop. He is anti-social, drinker and smoker. Most of the time he is sarcastic, pessimist, aggressive and hate every costumer. His employee is Manny, a character with no self-esteem who never stood for himself. Maybe the only person who could work for Bernard. Fran is a girl next door who run a shop, and probably is the only friend Bernard has. They have something in common, drinking and smoking.Black Books is one of the best British comedies. Is one of the comedies that is trying to make you laugh in every line. All three characters are funny, especially Bernard. Bernard is one of the funniest characters I've ever seen. The way he treats his costumers with his aggressive language, full of sarcasm. Many is funny too. He's a bit in the shadow of Bernard, but he got his moments too.There are some scenes that you should stop the video and laugh out loud. It's a pure comedy.

vader23-121-645282 While British comedy is often viewed as subtle and sophisticated, this series combines sophistication with absolute farce and over-the-top situations. The real steal for me is the acting though, the chemistry between the actor's is fantastic and every time character's speak with each other you're just holding in furious laughter at the way they address one another. The character of Bernard Black couldn't be more perfect, a stubborn drunk who, when offered help, thinks of a solution that is incredibly implausible, and with a fantastically strong performance of Manny from Bill Bailey who, like Moran, is an excellent comedian and actor, we can really laugh at the insane relationship that Manny and Bernard share. From Bernard eating frozen wine like a Popsicle to using pictures of plates as a crockery substitute, from Manny playing a piano from the inside with spoons to Fran going insane over an odd ornament which is ultimately a cigarette lighter, all of the jokes in this series are charming and laugh-out-loud funny, my only complaint is that the only did 3 season's of this superb sit-com, a must-see if you haven't already, just as good as Father Ted and Red Dwarf, one of the best British comedies of all-time.

mikealike This is by far the best comedy series I have ever seen. The witty ideas just seem to surprise you and the atmosphere is something one will remain with as something familiar and friendly. When I think of it it seems like I spent my vacation with some dear nutty friends, not watching a movie. The actors are also giving their best, totally love Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey in this gem of a show, and Tamsin Greig is so well guided that she makes you laugh and love her in the same time, perhaps she is more dear to the viewer that she would be if one would meet her in person, I don't know. A pessimistic, unadapted bookseller with smoking and drinking problems (Dylan Moran) befriends an air headed clerk (Tamsin Grieg) and unwillingly hires a long-haired ex accountant to slave around and sell books, with maximum hilarious effect, that's Black Books in a very very simplified nutshell. They are all great. Geniuses. Only one minor criticism that a friend pointed out: the laugh tracks. But never mind, once you get the taste of this great comedy show, you will not notice them.
