GB65

Having only ever seen the original with Jodie Foster we booked to see this and fitted in its predecessor only the day before, which we enjoyed. This really is better than the average comedy sequel with plenty of laughs and a whole lot of concentration needed to keep up with who's who. For this reason I would caution against taking young children to see it as it would not be easy for them to follow. Curtis and Lohan are a great film duo and the former really makes it with the character she inherits from the body swaps. I think that in both films, more could have been given to Mark Harmon and in this sequel, they maybe could have got a more energetic actor for the character of Lohan's intended. Overall though, we quite enjoyed this.

I'll start by admitting that these comic book/super hero movies aren't really my thing but having watched a few over the last couple of years I thought I'd give this one a try too. Well, my overwhelming emotion is that's nearly two hours of my life that I won't be getting back. To me, the story was rather lame, the script was poor and even the acting wasn't up to much. Even the humour was weak. As for the ending, the less said about that the better. I won't be rushing to catch this quartet in future films.

After too many unfunny seasons I thought I'd tune in to S14 to see the latest. I discovered that it's moved forward another six years and the kids, thankfully, have departed the series and are at university. I've since read that this is the first series without any of the other regulars; Anna, Toby and both of Lucy's parents. Back to this episode and sadly no improvement from the recent series. Too many unfunny quick fire jokes from Lee (whose acting somehow still hasn't improved) and continual contempt from Lucy. I cannot believe that not only did the BBC renew it for this season but they've already renewed for S15 in 2026.
