Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
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.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
herehelpyou I am on episode . I have had a few laughs about things that used to happen when I was younger.Not bad Idris, not bad.Different from everything else nice move.
joannagray Wasn't sure what to expect but it was a fab,funny revelation.Feels a bit like'Only Fools and Horses' but from a black immigrant perspective.Loved the music as it tied in with the themes and brought the 80's flooding back.As someone else commented it does mention a lot of the 'issues' but with a light touch that I appreciated. The characters are great and whoever the 'singer;is they are super talented and added a poignancy to the episodes.
lindsayreid2009 Wasn't sure what to expect from this but we as a family have all found it witty & hilarious, mixing real issues with giggles.
The_Pete_Jackson Expectations were set high when Sky announced Idris was making a comedy set in the 80's so was excited by the prospect. However, sadly let down. The music sound bites every 5 minutes, the poor script, and the small points of mentioning what was going on in the UK at the time. Yes we get it - it's the 80's, we get it!! Plus Idris' character drives around in a T registration top of the range Cortina. I don't think so.
