Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
wjrussell-39298 Loads of laughs for all the family. Very odd to begin with, and it doesn't let up. You just need to find your inner child. It's not social commentary, nor does it try to be anything other than silly fun. A true work of genius. Love it.
Carl Stensel Well, I think the review before this one was pretty unfair. This is a classic British comedy after the pattern of Monty Python and Mr. Bean, except that it really pushes the boundaries of normal TV. At first watching, it is a little hard to believe what you are seeing, but I think that is a good thing for a medium that is normally so totally absorbed with ratings and making money. It is a worthwhile effort, and despite its strangeness, gave us some good laughs. Relatively poor reviews will probably mean that these six episodes are all we will ever see of this, but I hope the BBC keeps whatever commitment it has to this sort of original programming.
Growlyted This is undeniably silly. It's meant to be. I giggled through every episode. Matt Lucas is already a favourite actor of mine from previous TV shows & films. Hove and the dog interact brilliantly with him. While this series has been billed as "silent"; in actual fact all the characters speak. It's just in their own special "gibb-lish." The plots are easy to follow and full of comic visuals. Some of these are surreal. There is no crudity in the humour. Pompidou is an innocent who inadvertently causes trouble for everyone around him, especially Hove. He endears himself to the audience, occasionally breaking the 4th wall. This is evidently a project that Matt put his whole heart into and I hope he can make more. There's nothing wrong with SILLY, providing that's what you're looking for. And there's a special surprise for Little Britain fans. (Ep 5.)
Eddie Jackson I loved every second of it! A 10 star comedy from Matt Lucas, my favourite comedian! I don't know what others are complaining about. It is hilarious, got a big plot, and very entertaining! Anyone will love it! You should watch it, I guarantee that you will love it. I have watched every single episode twice. Everyone should watch it! It's about a funny old man who was kicked out of his manor and is forced to live in a caravan on the grounds of his house with his dog, Marian, and his butler, Hove. He gets up to many mischievous things, like eating someone's cake, dressing up as Freddie Mercury and singing, or camping in his own home! If he does something wrong he will often blame his dog. I recommend that everyone should watch it.
