IHRE BEWERTUNG

Rodney Bewes, James Bolam, and Brigit Forsyth in Zwei nette Früchtchen (1976)

Spin-off from Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? 1973, although it shares its title with the earlier 1960s British television series The Likely Lads, of which Whatever was the sequel. Terry is divorced from his German wife and has a Finnish girlfriend Christina. At Thelma's suggestion they join her and Bob on a caravan holiday but due to a mishap the men get separated from the women. Thelma mistakenly accuses Bob of infidelity and their row is heard publicly as they are in a van with the PA still switched on. Bob and Terry then holiday without the girls in a hotel at Whitley Bay. They score with both the landlady and her daughter but have to make a hurried trouserless exit. Terry decides to emigrate and Bob joins him for a farewell drink on board his ship. However Terry changes his mind at the last minute and disembarks realising too late that Bob is still on board heading for Bahrain.

An Lost Classic in a Sea of Sitcom Films

It's all too easy to get lost in the trend for sitcom films that ran through the 70's and 80's in the UK. But The Likely Lads will always stand out to me, as the finest example of it's type. Its cheerful 70's sitcom trappings hide a wonderfully written journey that captures that moment everybody goes through in life. When we question our entire existence. Then realise the only sensible solution is to put a frozen lasagne in the oven and pour a Newcastle Brown Ale into a dimpled pint glass with a handle.

"In the chocolate box of life, the top layer's already gone. And someone's pinched the orange creme from the bottom."

The Likely Lads are back!

A great fun movie capturing the characters we all know an love. The serious Bob and the fun loving and fancy free Terry, both bouncing off one and other perfectly. A great feeling of nostalgia ensues with the changing landscape of North and the idea that things will never be the same again - with Bob still trying to adjust to married life and Terry with yet another girlfriend - the four take a caravan trip together full of hapless adventure. Highly enjoyable

Class film from the 1970's

What a brilliantly funny film,sharp script,great acting and a glimpse of north england in the mid 70's.Its up there with other TV spin-off movies like On the buses trilogy,Steptoe and Son,Are you being served and of course Porridge. Funny Moments- The Trip to Northumbria in Thelma's dads caravan being towed by a Vauxhalle Chevette,Bob getting stuck up a chimney trying to retrieve a football,and of course Thelma and Chris getting out of the caravan at the traffic lights unaware they have driven miles and terry and bob have picked up a pair of stunning female hitchhikers! Nostalgia moment-Tesco in the 70's,and cooking bacon in a frying pan with a fag hanging out of your mouth! All in all I've seen this film 2 times since Christmas,the 1st time was at Christmas on BBC1 and loved every minute of it and wished i had recorded it.2nd time was yesterday on DVD given away free with a national newspaper,i couldn't believe it when they advertised the 6 films they were giving away this week.I got Are you being served? the movie too but thats another review!

MY DESERT ISLAND DISC !

I thoroughly concur with all the positive reviews of the film , however my main love is the very evocative background music ? where oh where can this be obtained , was there ever an album release at the time ? plenty of other mid-seventies series/films had the music available . To obtain the music from the film is the holy grail for me !!!

Funny yet poignant

Based on a popular UK comedy series, this film concerns two men, former schoolboy friends now approaching middle age, living in the industrial North-East of England. One has "got on" and runs a small building firm, the other is a dissolute drifter. Though often extremely funny, the film, shot in wintry North-East landscapes, also conveys a sense of wasted lives and unfulfilled hopes.

Wissenswertes
Bob's poem quotation ("Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,/Butting through the Channel in the mad March days") is from 'Cargoes' by John Masefield. As the lads observe, it was a standard piece of recitation in schools and particularly noteworthy to Tynesiders.

Patzer
The damaged Vauxhall Chevette has registration plates with a different spacing, indicating it was probably a different vehicle. (The original undamaged car reappears later in the film).

Zitate
Terry Collier: I'd offer you a beer, but I've only got six cans.

Alternative Versionen
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'A' rating. All cuts were waived in 1987 when the film was re-rated with a 'PG' certificate for home video.
