Featured reviews
It's certainly unique and while not horrible it wasn't really a bundle of fun either.
Had the film been branded as a new venture or a change in Harrys' professional direction we could accept why it may not have been to our liking. However the film is called "The Harry Hill Movie" and we naturally expected a feast of his humour and the entertainment enjoyed from watching his performances on television.
A star studied cast only raised our expectations and veiled the dreadful reviews that we had chosen not to embrace. I am at a complete loss as to why such highly acclaimed actors would want to be associated with a potentially career damaging script.
Take a walk in the park, rake some leaves or consider a cold shower but do not go and spend money going to see this.
Harry and his team need to make an apology to those fans who have wasted hard earned money going to see this.
An adult man who lives with his grandmother as well as a...teddy bear who is gravely ill and only has a week to live, allegedly and thus his housemates try to offer him a pleasant last week by taking him on a holiday.
If you are a parent of children in their pre teens, then take them and go see it. Otherwise, stay well away from the big screen.
On this note, I would have to acknowledge as remarkable the fact that the producers managed to cast the likes of Julie Walters and Jim Boradbent.
If you do you'll have a great time watching this film - it's full on silly and surreal goofy humour for the 80+ mins, with lots of bigger name stars (sorry Harry) clearly having a ball.
If you don't find Harry Hill's humour funny, and cheered when he stopped making 'TV Burp' then you'll find nothing here to alter your impression.
I enjoyed it, though admittedly after repeated viewings.
