Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

bigverybadtom This series is about four old (and presumably retired) men in a small town having a variety of escapades, evidently recapturing their lost youths.Yes, it is thin material, depending on how well it is written and performed. It doesn't depend on contrived silliness like "Fawlty Towers" or "Are You Being Served?" or excessive blue humor like "Benny Hill" or weirdness like "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Most of the humor is funny to non-Britons as well. So how does this program work? The characters are reasonably credible-bored old men deciding to have fun before they die, though things often go wrong. Every cast member manages to perform their role correctly as well.This is mild entertainment, though-not for those who want to see overacting and screaming.

ruddigore-1 Being neither from Yorkshire, nor over the age of 60, I have never really been able to connect with this show. None of the characters are likable and I find them annoying more than anything else. I just don't understand how stupid senility is that funny. While some of the jokes are okay, most of them are ruined by the fact that they are told by idiotically senile men. An old person trying to jump over a wall and not being able to just isn't that funny. I suppose it would be funnier if I really knew people like this (i.e. if I was from Yorkshire) or if I found it uplifting to see old people on TV doing something (i.e. if I was over 60). I guess if you're from Northern England or if you love Matlock. You'll love this show. If not, you'll probably find it annoying and kind of creepy. It has its moments and it probably could be a pretty decent show with better timing, cinematography and some recasting. Some fresher writing would be nice too. There's only so far the whole concept of "I'm crazy, old and confused! Where's my soup!" can go and remain funny. Adding a couple of characters that are likable (see Are You Being Served?) would be a big help too. At least I would not feel like yelling "Shut up, just shut up already about being old!" at the screen for the whole show.

Mark Hone Like many people I occasionally turn on the TV on a Sunday evening and come face to face with Last of the Summer Wine. With a shock I realise that I am not watching an episode from years ago but part of a new series of the show. Not that it makes much difference because all episodes of the programme are essentially identical. The writer Roy Clarke deserves some sort of award for endlessly recycling the same material and persuading the BBC to film it. He did a good job of this on 'Open all Hours' with Ronnie Barker , which ran for a few series but he's been doing it with LOTSW for 32 incredible years. The show now provides a cosy pension for much-loved British character actors like Jean Alexander and (incredibly) Burt Kwouk, Kato in the 'Pink Panther' films. Of course nearly all the original cast are dead and many of their replacements too. I always felt that Sunday evenings were morbid but there is no better reminder of mortality than the sight of Bill 'Compo' Owen's son, who I remember as a juvenile lead in a kids' TV show 'Freewheelers', appearing in the show as an old man himself.

Bob Barnett Simply put, this show has been my favorite discovery of late and I am definitely going to try and purchase each and every one of the episodes and specials if possible.It has really not been done justice by the other comment here. I am absolutely in love with this show.I had no idea it has been around as long as it has. Apparently the longest running show in England and possibly most anywhere. With good reason as you will see if you watch a couple of episodes.These gentlemen trying to recapture their youth are so funny and endearing
