Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

guidon7-573-920213 Let me first say that I have noted the many favorable comments here but as far as I'm concerned, to quote Fawlty Towers' outboard motor salesman: "This Wine Is Corked". Most definitely.Last of the Summer Wine recently made it's appearance in my local TV viewing area. Accordingly, I have been watching episodes for some weeks, all the while entertaining high hopes that the humor would commence. Not a chance. Not one laugh to date.I have asked myself: Can this be due to a generation gap? No. I am of the same age as the actors. Well then, can it be that it is a certain kind of fare that appeals strictly to the British alone? Well, I cannot say for certain. What I do know is that I find Keeping Up Appearances, Ab Fab, Fawlty Towers, Waiting For God and Are You Being Served? absolutely hilarious (superior, in fact, to anything produced here in the U.S). I have viewed the same episodes of these shows repeatedly and never tire of them. In fact, I doubt that this day will ever come.Now having spoken my piece I think it only fair to end on a positive note. The Holmfirth countryside is absolutely enchanting.

Mark Hone Like many people I occasionally turn on the TV on a Sunday evening and come face to face with Last of the Summer Wine. With a shock I realise that I am not watching an episode from years ago but part of a new series of the show. Not that it makes much difference because all episodes of the programme are essentially identical. The writer Roy Clarke deserves some sort of award for endlessly recycling the same material and persuading the BBC to film it. He did a good job of this on 'Open all Hours' with Ronnie Barker , which ran for a few series but he's been doing it with LOTSW for 32 incredible years. The show now provides a cosy pension for much-loved British character actors like Jean Alexander and (incredibly) Burt Kwouk, Kato in the 'Pink Panther' films. Of course nearly all the original cast are dead and many of their replacements too. I always felt that Sunday evenings were morbid but there is no better reminder of mortality than the sight of Bill 'Compo' Owen's son, who I remember as a juvenile lead in a kids' TV show 'Freewheelers', appearing in the show as an old man himself.

Brian Baxter Several of listeners or watchers felt the series would not be as good without Compo. But this is not the case. We in Australia are seeing on UK TV, a pay channel, The new episodes from 2002 to 2004. BBC listeners are now seeing the new 2005 series.Unfortunately UK TV does not have the rights to episodes from 1973 to 2001. It is the greatest show ever and Roy Clark is a genius, he also wrote "Keeping up Appearances" I have both DDVs from Amazon.A hope some of the old episodes will soon appear. There is a ready market out there.The great strength of British sitcoms over American is the small number of episodes made each year. Let us hope Roy does not tire of the series.

chuffnobbler Running since the dawn of time, Last of the Summer Wine is one of the mot reliable elements of the BBC's output. Featuring wonderful actors in unique roles, it's ideal viewing for sitting down with the Sunday tea. It's warm, sentimental and old-fashioned. That every episode seems to end with a couple of OAPs rolling down a hillside in a tin bath on wheels is neither here nor there: it's charming and friendly. Spiky edges are provided by Dame Thora Hird, the wondrous Kathy Staff, and Jane Freeman, and the series is not challenging viewing. Harmless. The kind of telly you could watch with your granny. That most of the cast are your granny's age is another joy. Hardly cutting edge, and guaranteed to run until the end of the world, Last of the Summer Wine is truly immortal.
