Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Jayden-Lee Thomson One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

haildevilman Not as anarchic as I like to see for England but funny all the same.A low key approach to a local Solicitor's office in England. A handful of main characters to keep the interest. Along with their personalities.We have senior partner Dick who seems more interested in golf and sherry. Stella, the main character and while she's very likable, she can't seem to get her life in order. Bob the office manager. Same as Stella. Only male.Colin is the young upstart lawyer full of enthusiasm and ideals. And also a train wreck.Allison is the office secretary with the permanently bored look and snotty attitude. (And while nice to look at....VERY inappropriately dressed for a law office.)And Darrin. The wannabe soccer hooligan. He just seems to be a lackey.These folks just seem to annoy each other to no end. With constant references to Dick's cluelessness, Allison's bitchiness, and Darrin's almost deliberate trouble-making. Bob and Stella were the only normal ones. And the ones we had any feeling for.Again, a low key Brit-com. But you'll find plenty of laughs. This played in Japan for a while on late night TV.

johnie dollar Is it legal is an interesting comedy series. The show details out instances of law misbehavior of a local law firm. Funny stuff and a great series. I give this comedy series a 9 out of 10 starts. For all the good a comedy show like this produces it does not equate to the real world. In reality people do not live such a comedy lifestyle. They live in the real world with real consequences. Everyday people wonder about legalities. Is it legal to do this, is it legal to do that. These are all interesting and valid questions in the quest for legal knowledge. Fortunately there is a website that helps address these legal questions. The site on is it legal to can be checked out at isitlegalto.com.cheers!

andytools This is a comedy I happened on by accident on the original airing of the third series in 1998. Now, thanks to the explosion in channels that is satellite/cable TV, I discovered it tucked away on ITV3 and have been enjoying it all over again.Simon Nye is known primarily for "Men Behaving Badly" and often when a writer has a huge hit, their other work is sometimes buried. I always felt this was true also of John Sullivan, whose monolithic "Only Fools and Horses" has caused the excellent "Dear John" to be almost forgotten."Is it Legal" benefits from a cast strong in comedic talent. I don't think I can ever remember Imelda Staunton being off her game. Patrick Barlow is a superb comedy actor and even when in a small role, shines through, witness "Bridget Jones Diary" as the 'Orange Baboon' TV shopping host and brief love interest of Bridget's mother. Richard Lumsden is the perfect "drip" and Jeremy Clyde just how one imagines a senior partner in a law firm to be. If there is one slight criticism it must be that the Darren character seems out of place. He's funny, but you cannot ever imagine how he got a job there. But hey, this isn't supposed to be the real world.This all said however, the aspect of "Is it Legal" that struck me when I first saw it and still does when I watch the re-runs is that I sit spellbound and swooning whenever Kate Isitt is on screen. 'Beautiful' just doesn't come close. Later to have greater recognition in "Coupling" (Ben Miles her love interest in that series also appears in one episode of "Is It Legal"), she excellently portrays the unapproachable, unattainable office bitch Alison. Any single male that has worked in an office will recognise the character. The type of girl that if she were ever so give you a smile or kind word, would turn you to jelly. She never does though and she never will. You just know she has a boyfriend that is absolutely loaded and you will never be in her league.An understated sitcom of the type Channel 4 used to make but sadly don't anymore, happy as they seem to be to spend money on bilious rubbish like "Big Brother" and endless tenuously themed "Top 100" shows

VLeung I thought the show would be worse without Dick, the wonderfully smug and posh senior partner, but Is It Legal was great right to the end. I like the way Nye isn't afraid to make class jokes, which are pretty rude, but perfectly charming. Every character was a weird twist on an apparent stereotype, so they were all weird and funny and vulnerable and more complicated than they first appeared. But at the same time, the scripts were excellent, with genuinely great one-liners. This is some of the best comedy ever made.
