    MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
    Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
    Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
    Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
    brooksy241095 When I first saw 'Little Britain', I was so captivated and entertained, it quickly became my favourite show, I bought the first series on DVD, and was more than impressed. Then came the second series. The characters became much more dull and the sketches seemed repetitive, although to a lesser extent, still provided funny moments. The third series, I thought, added a bit of life back to the series, with new and funny characters and hilarious sketches. 'Little Britain Abroad' was then broadcast as a 2-part Christmas special. I noticed a lack of humour. I was impressed with 'Little Britain:Live' as I was thrilled by how Matt Lucas and David Walliams performed in front of a live audience. Then came the god-awful 'Little Britain USA'. I watched the first episode and rather enjoyed it, to say the least, but by the time the second episode was broadcast, I lost interest. The show had hit an all time low. I would recommend that Matt & David end the show now, on a high note, whilst its still possible.Above all, not a bad show, but it gets so repetitive.6/10
    Seb Not only is this show unfunny and repetitive it's designed with the lowest common denominator in mind. The sort of people who have to know the jokes coming (because it's the same one every time) and when to laugh. I've watched a few of these mainly because it's supposedly one of the best comedies we've produced but all I see is three tired old jokes flogged to death.Lazy simplistic writing with no wit or insight, no real jokes..just the same old plop time and time again. At least The Fast Show had some good jokes to balance out the endless catchphrases. It's only popular because any pleb can imitate the voices and repeat the catchphrases and think they're actually funny.If David Walliams doesn't top himself within 5 years I'll eat my hat, I've never seen such naked self-loathing in a person before. Frankly if I was being heralded as the king of comedy based on this kind of crap I would probably feel there wasn't much point too.Tom Baker, what were you thinking? He's the only remotely entertaining bit of the show.
    hendry-robert I adore well written comedy from the US and UK but this is not it. While sometimes there are funny moments the majority of it is predictable and a bit pointless. I don't know if its just me but Im sure its intentionally dumbed down. I don't know the reason why because undoubtedly the two writers can write a much better script ( well I hope they can) While the show attacks all groups and genders it is in fact riddled with political correctness in every sketch. Its to much to go in to here, but its the usual promotion of certain leftist agendas and tries at every opportunity to ridicule any right wing thinking. To cover the tracks of an agenda no group is left out of the scenery whether its gays, fat people, Christians, the Pope, Hindus, posh people, gypsies, Scottish people etc but the one group they have never made fun out of is Muslims. Its not that I care one bit whether they do or not but its an obvious display of double standards. However the show is on the BBC and no one on the BBC would dare put a Muslim or Islam in a comedy sketch.Some would say Im just miserable and shouldn't let the politics be involved. Well perhaps I am miserable but thats why I watch a lot of comedy and I cannot ignore the political agenda when its drilled in to me. It wouldn't be so bad if it were done with much more intelligence but its not.The two main actors are very good, but I see the taller one as the main talent by a long way. Everyone seems to like the shorter one the best but I think thats because he is short and fat. I think we will see the taller one go on to much greater things. Im also sure these two can write much better comedy and when they do I will happily write a glowing review.
    fleetmind Been getting to know this series via DVDs. First, I want to say that David Walliams and Matt Lucas are two of the most talented individuals on Earth. I love these guys. They can disappear into characters like nobody else. Also, I am a big fan of British humour so I have enjoyed this show immensely.I cannot give a complete rating as I am just a bit into Series 3. But it does seem to be going downhill a bit. Series 1 was pure genius and one of the best things I have ever watched. Series 2 was pretty good too, if a bit more crude. "Bitty" is pretty funny but I cannot stand that vomiting woman - although I have a friend that just LOVES the vomiting woman. Series 3 is not pleasing to me so far. The peeing woman? Ting Tong? It is all getting so adolescent! Bring back Ray McCooney! The one sketch that holds up through all Series is Lou and Andy. Lou and Andy could be bronzed and put in the Smithsonian museum. They are classic and consistently funny. And the reason they hold up so well is in the subtle ways that David and Matt perform the characters.
