Spider-Plant Man

this isn't a bad comic flick. it has the supporting roles of nick frost, simon pegg nd i think the street sweeper guy was edgar wright, I'm not 2 sure tho. I'm a big simon pegg fan nd of course a fan of mr. bean! this is a good spoof and is funny in places. a good parody.

I may not be totally for this flick but it is worth seeing! the ending is pretty funny and the f.f.j part is just ace. atkinson plays a good role an d the support of all the other characters is good. nd lets face it we all love rachel stevens.

fans of mr bean or any simon pegg fans will like this, maybe not love it but be able to appreciate it.

Very silly and very funny.

One of the better charity sketches of all time.

This one is not that bad but definitely is not funny either.

STAR RATING: ***** The Works **** Just Misses the Mark *** That Little Bit In Between ** Lagging Behind * The Pits

A spoof comic relief take on the re-generated comic book movie trend, with Rowan Atkinson in the lead as Spider-Man (a.k.a. Peter Piper!!!) and Jim Broadbent and Tony Robinson as Batman and his sidekick Robin.

Atkinson was reportedly going through a bit of a bad patch when this was made, and it shows as this is certainly not one of his best works. The main running (and most obvious) joke ('oh, look out Spider-Man, it's Batman!!!' 'No, it's Fathers 4 Justice!!!') gets annoying and over-used and I don't think Batman and Robin were meant to be cast as two middle-aged men who're famous for appearing in more high-brow stuff than this. The supporting cast, from rising comic talent Mackenzie Crook to singing hottie Rachel Stevens, don't add anything that couldn't have been done (potentially better) by anyone else. The spoof Michael Jackson interview Atkinson did a few years back for CR is an example of how he can make this kind of thing work, but this is one to avoid. *

Fans of British humor pay attention. This short is a must see for you! This little short mainly of course spoofs "Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man 2" with lots of typical priceless British humor and with some good well known British comedians in it.

I never can really look at Rowan Atkinson and not think about him as Mr. Bean or Blackadder but in this short he was really good and he made me believe he was Peter Piper aka Spider-Plant Man. The movie is filled with many more well known British comedians in small parts such as Mackenzie Crook, Simon Pegg and Tony Robinson who are all very enjoyable in their roles, no matter how small.

This little short features some highly good laugh-out-loud moments and is highly enjoyable to watch. Of course you must be able to appreciate British humor in order to find this short funny and enjoyable but then again, who doesn't love British humor?

It's silly, over-the-top and totally ridicules...I love it!
