The Nan Movie

Typical Catherine Tate cheesy,some good parts but didn't do it for me.

Wouldn't rush to watch anything else with Catherine Tate it.

Acting poor by two main characters.

I didn't come into this with many expectations, but thought it might be a bit of a daft laugh. It pretty much wasn't. Having read the trivia re the re-cutting of the film it starts to make sense how someone of the stature of the great Katherine Parkinson allowed herself to be in such tosh. This is puerile rubbish. Honestly, don't waste your time.

This was always going to be rubbish. I can't believe they got this film funded.

I'd rather watch paint dry than ever see this again, and I truly mean that.

To this day I still watch the Nan sketches, some of the funniest comedy made over the last twenty years, she is outrageous, I was really keen to see how the character would translate to a full length movie.

Sadly, it's not a good movie, in fact it's actually quite a bad movie, it just doesn't work, the sketches work because they're sharp, punchy, and done in a way that shocks you, and has you belly laughing, the same cannot be said here, the laughs just didn't land.

A kind of origins story, one which tried to explain the story of Joanie's fractured relationship with her sister. Several faces pop up, including the large guy, and miserable woman from the council, but sadly none of the elements worked.

The laughs just didn't land, and the story just wasn't interesting enough. The half hour sketch format works so much better, and hopefully she'll do another soon.

There is no denying the talent of Catherine Tate, she's terrific, and I can't wait to see the return of Donna Noble, this though, sadly didn't work 3/10.

The film was slated for release pre-pandemic, and as a fan of the Nan character I had been very much looking forward to watching this. I was very disappointed. The various scenes did not flow, and the overall story was very weak.

Wait for it to come to a streaming platform before you maybe watch it.
