Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Paul Evans (Series 1) Beautician Alice Chenery and writer Gil Raymond are totally perfect for each other, the only problem is their paths are deemed never to meet. Alice is slightly awkward, slightly staid but kind hearted and generous. Gil is an American perplexed by life, living next door to cougar Irene.I think Love Soup was somewhat ahead of its time, it had it all, it was hilariously funny, deeply moving and emotionally engaging, by the end of the series my love for the characters grew hugely.How good an actress is Tamsin Greig, the whole series in fairness hangs on her performance, she's just wonderful, her acting in Series 2 when she hears the news of Gil's tragic death was insanely goodSeries 1 was fantastic from the off, I never tire of it, the most memorable moment I can remember is Trudie Styler's speech to Gil in the opening episode, it's one of the most moving things I have ever seen.Series 2 is a mixed bag, I think the opening 5 episodes are excellent, the latter 5 are a little dull in comparison, I didn't think Alice was brilliantly written for towards the end.David Renwick I salute you 9/10

Izzit249 If you live in the suburbs, are relatively well off financially, and do not really have much contact with the city life of england, then this is the comedy for you. Not something a mass audience would go for, but if you're like these characters they show you'll love it to pieces. Overall this is a comedy that the snobs at the BBC will sit back and laugh at for their pleasure and only a select few of the publics. Comparing it to BBC Comedys like Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, and other classics, this series tends to drift away from the BBC's regular product to the audience and deliver to somewhat of a folk culture.

theprovinces Was really excited that they are making a Love Soup 2. Can't wait for it. Hope Michael Landes is also in it, he's not listed in the credits for it.This is a really well-done mini-series with very likable characters. The acting is excellent, too.Grieg plays a very different role than that of her iconic Fran Katzenjammer in Black Books. In fact, her "Love Soup" Alice couldn't be further away from Fran. Alice is thoughtful, organized, positive, hopeful and loyal. And very funny. The DVD, which is only available in the UK (but can be viewed on multi-regional players) is great and the extras are very fun. Tiny tidbit: The actress who plays Chloe originally read for the role of Millie.I am very excited about the upcoming sequel -- I really wanted more, I enjoyed it so much.

siobhan-rouse ... why watch a TV drama (billed as a comedy) in which none of the characters are likable or even interesting people ? I can sort of see what the writer David Renwick was trying to achieve: the misdirections and bad-taste surprises that he put into "One foot in the grave", etc. I admit that the script made a bit more of an effort than most on British TV at the moment. But really ... who cares about these people ? They are cold bores.Another poster mentioned the scene in which the woman sits down to watch a video of herself and her deceased ex-boyfriend shagging. That was the moment when I switched OFF this programme, never to return.P.S. It's interesting to note that the posters who didn't like this series are all British, whereas those who praise it are mostly in other countries. This reflects the fact that when the BBC broadcast this series it was ignored by viewers and sank like a stone.P.P.S. Good news for those who liked it ! There will be a second series in Autumn 2007 - though without the male lead. It sounds like the BBC have decided to turn it into a more conventional 30 minute sitcom.
