    Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
    Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
    Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
    Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
    rob-goacher A great light hearted sitcom, which really displays the bond between families and what makes them funny. It also explores the north east and Geordie culture and all it's comedy aspects, its funny throughout. Its very good, every character has there quirk, Vicky and Denise encapsulate the Geordie Shore culture we have all come to find funny, and the other characters like Dot, Pauline and Joe are very funny. If I had any criticism it would be that Sarah doesn't seem to have many friends visiting from home or Manchester even at her wedding and also seems more loyal to Jack's Family and Friends than her own. But, unlike other sitcoms it's all mostly believable without any over daft or unbelievable acts like some sitcoms.A great British believable comedy, better than any of that American stuff that's on TV today, 10/10
    Peter Johnson It may not be the most original of set-ups, but the dialog is laced with gags that genuinely did make us all laugh (which not all comedies do!) . The real treasure is the endearing secondary characters, most of which would be far too over-the-top to hang a series on, but they work really well as they are used here.It is odd to read that it doesn't go down too well in Hebburn itself, as I think there is an obvious affection for the place and its characters lying underneath the comedy, which gives it it's heart.I am really enjoying the second series too, here's hoping they get a third.
    Peter Atkinson Although this comedy show may pass people by without them realising, I urge them to take the time to watch it. Written by the incredibly talented Jason Cook, it explores the life of a Geordie family and its struggles. Quick witted, incredibly funny and real easy watching television. Potentially one of the best new sitcoms around. Chris Ramsey (Jack) and Kimberly Nixon (Sarah) go home to visit Jack's family in Hebburn after recently getting married in Vegas. However Jack hasn't told his family about the marriage, or even the fact that his new wife is Jewish.Jack's working class family, slutty sister (Lisa McGrillis), best mate (Jason Cook) with his gangster child and criticising Nan all give a hilarious stereotypical view of Newcastle culture. If this wasn't written by an actual Geordie it could be seen as potentially offensive but the fact it's based on his own home makes it all the more entertaining. I will warn viewers however that this could be seen as potentially a 'love it or hate it' type show, and its humour will not appeal to everyone. However if you've ever seen Jason Cook live and appreciate his comedy, you will also probably enjoy this show.
    Fairbrit With all of the young writing talent out there that gets rejected by the BBC and thrown on to some slush pile, how in God's name did this piece of rubbish get commissioned and then screened on TV? There is nothing funny at all about Hebburn. The same old insulting stereotypical characters (be they Geordies or Jews)and nothing original or remotely creative in any of the story lines. Am amazed at the good reviews on here! I must be on a different planet. Now, if you really want to see amazingly fresh and pushing-the-boundaries comedy, switch on to the third series of Him & Her (BBC3 ?) which I think is coming soon. This is astoundingly brilliant and what I believe is fantastic comedy sitcom where the characters and plot lines surprise you at every turn!
