The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Off-beat, surreal, comedy brilliance.The lives and times of Howard Moon (played by Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding). Season 1 sees them working at a zoo while going on all manner of weird and wacky adventures. By Season 2, they're living with a shaman and a gorilla...Incredibly funny, in a weird, absurdist sort of way. Some of the skits and jokes are incredibly left-field, but they work! In some cases you need to know a bit about modern culture (eg a knowledge of the works of Gary Numan or Bryan Ferry might come in handy) but this just makes it even more interesting, and bizarre.

I do enjoy some stupid comedies but this is really pushing it (and I like Disaster Movie) I mean I saw one episode and it was about Howard is going to fight a kangaroo but he needs some training first. Howard declined the zoo keeper said if he doesn't he'll put pictures of him naked all around the zoo and the training is false, they have no Idea, a girl is involved. This story between Howard and the girl in this episode is so false it would make Michael Bay wretch. all I have to say is "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR ####ING MIND." The whole series took less time to write put together than this comment. Avoid. unless a brainless Teenager makes you watch this."What's The Difference Between you and me" "I'm dead" - The Crow: Wicked Prayer

It's amazing not just because it's comedy that isn't going to try and create in depth relationships within the show and rely on them to boost audience numbers it's just the sheer commitment the guys have to the show: to make up the krimps, write the whole script, write all the songs from scratch and do magnificent tours is something you don't see with any other comedy show or duo.The fact that they have not changed the show's style to suit tastes is another reason I have had to buy the dvds again because they just don't work anymore due to me watching them so much.I love this show and I know I'm not alone.

Season Three of this fantastically bizarre British comedy series is a bit like the modern day burrito. Consider the burrito. Long long ago, it began as a simple, honest man's food, being sold door to door by small Mexican men in tuxedos. But then it got too sure of itself. It broke free from the salesmen who had supported it and went into mass production with the evil Old el Paso empire. It thought it knew what the people wanted. But it was wrong. Dead wrong. And the flaky, salty imitations that line supermarket shelves today pale in comparison to the once great glory of the burrito.Similarly, once upon a time, The Mighty Boosh burst onto the 10pm SBS slot like a deliciously absurd, wacky and wonderful explosion of comedy heaven. It had everything. A friendship between the self proclaimed cockney bitch Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) and the jazz guru Howard Moon (Julian Barrat) which occasioned still unparalleled hilarious banter. A zoo with a dangerously moustachioed owner and a slavishly sycophantic manager. Wild adventures into exotic like the arctic and monkey hell. And at the heart of it all, a much imitated but inimitable low-budget absurdist style of humour. But like all explosions, its glory was sadly short-lived, and all that remains is the afterimage, burnt onto our retinas, of Vince restyling the Ape of Death's hair.Or so we thought! Rising like the phoenix from the ashes of BBC, season two erupted, answering the mournful call of the cult followers of the Boosh. Fans rejoiced as Vince and Howard recommenced their adventures, taking to the stage in their own band. Their bizarre encounters with Old Gregg (some say he's half man, half fish, others say its more of a 70/30 split), Tony Harrison (the most useless member of the Council of Shaman) and the French intellectual coconut Milky Joe showed the same spirit of exciting, boundary-testing comedy. But, like a much used household implement, the cracks were starting to show. With greater roles given to the boring Bollo and Naboo, and the thrashing of the dead cockney horse, Vince and Howards banter still redeemed the show, like a couple of killer singles on an otherwise mediocre album.In season three, like genetically modified fruit, the Boosh has lost that organic element which made it great. Howard and Vince's relationship remains largely unchanged (despite certain homo-erotic diversions), but the banter doesn't hit the mark quite so perfectly as it did. Instead of wild adventures, the series is largely confined to Naboo's shop in which Vince and Howard work. On the occasions when they do leave the shop, the humour is that of the sordid style seen in Mr Susan and Sandstorm, going for shock, rather than the more subtle absurdism that made the show so brilliant. I felt like I was in a knackery, watching Tony Harrison and Saboo trotted out episode after episode in increasingly un-hilarious scenarios. The show is ultimately cruder, baser and less funny.The Boosh's humour is unique, and if it's a style that you like, you'll love the show.
