Jack and the Beanstalk: After Ever After

David Walliams writes and stars as the Giant. A continuation of the Jack and the Beanstalk story.

The Giant did not die but was mildly concussed and ends up befriending young Jack.

Jack is still a bit thick and gets fleeced from the trader in the market again.

This time Jack has bought a magic sausage roll as he needs to send the Giant back to where he came from. However the notorious giant killer, The Woman with No Name has the Giant in her sight.

In the panto tradition, this is aimed at kids who would enjoy the silliness and Walliams includes a moral message in there as well.

Sorry but I found parts of this quite nauseating and OTT bad taste. Bring back the old style pantomimes

A box ticking version of the old story. Special effects were poor and unconvincing. Looked like the whole thing was done in a hurry

I found this to be really bad. Poorly written, badly acted, and with some awful prosthetics and special effects. The 'giant' was obviously a stilt walker which must have been done to cut costs. Goodness knows what persuaded Sheridan Smith to appear in this puerile rubbish...

A lovely, lighthearted, little story to watch with your family. It's only 45 minutes; a nice change from big budget films that drain your concentration. Enjoyed the acting and characters, well done David Williams!
