Steineded How sad is this?

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

studioAT Not Going Out is a rare thing indeed. it is a rare example of a sitcom that has been axed and then brought back again thanks largely to fan protests (and lets face it - a lack of better alternatives). So there must be some good reason for this show lasting as long as it has.It has all the classic elements you'd expect to see in a sitcom. It has a 'will they won't they ' relationship going on, it has lots of witty jokes being thrown around and as with any sitcom set in a flat it has a dopey cleaner.However despite these elements they remain things we've seen done a thousand times better in other shows. It's almost as if the writers are trying to create a show based on everything that's worked before and hope it works again rather than creating something new.

Zach Kingsbury This show is very, very funny! I like the idea of having 2 of the main characters as their real-life names (Lee Mack And Tim Vine) and these work very well together.The reason i love Not Going Out is because its cleverly written and well put together as a series. I think Miranda Hart is very good as Barbara and when Lucy first appeared in the show i thought it would get even better, and it didn't disappoint one bit! This show provides clever story lines, painfully funny scenes and great acting- for this i give the show 10/10 Trust me you will be hooked the first time you see this and if there is ever a night it isn't on, you will want it on.

james-laing When i first watched Not going out i thought to myself at last a comedy that is a comedy, unlike 'Friends' were none of them are funny. Lee mack writes his own material for the show which proves that he is funny rather then most sitcom's where the shows writers write most of the jokes. the show has a simple premise 'a man lives with women, man likes women, women doesn't know man likes her, and her brother (series 2) or ex-boy friend (series 1) will stop at nothing to make sure something happens. but this doesn't take the impact away from some of the best gags and jokes since One foot in the grave or Bottom. another feature that is good is that Lee and Tim deliver the jokes in a deadpan manner rather then trying to act and make a funny joke sound awkward like in the Big Bang theory, some of the jokes are made to pop culture and Lee being in his late 30's may make a joke about something the younger audience may not understand. But all in all a damn fine comedy and i can't wait for series 4, whenever it's going to air. 9/10

ptsaeo the show is superb very witty and funny lee mack is brilliant as to is Tim vine we need comedy like this we have not had a good comedy for a long time this show will go on for a long time. cant wait for the second series. this comes close to the series "men behaving badly" in a strange way!only fools and horses was superb, but over the last few years comedy in this country has become predictable, i really hope this series runs and runs, the jokes are a bit Raff but at least the children can watch the show without asking a lot of questions! I'm a big fan and really hope the BBC continue with the next series!i am off to buy the DVD of the first series!
