SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

user-847-318571 This is a great and refreshing followup of 'An Idiot Abroad', a documentary style travel show through an unfiltered angle via Karl reflecting (aka whinging) on culture shock and his new confounding environment, and challenging tasks or pranks, always planned by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, with the sole aim of catapulting Karl out of his comfort zone. Physical shtick and hilarity ensues, which would often times lead Karl to ponder philosophically aloud.This time, Karl flies more solo as he investigates life's big questions through the lens of different cultures. He takes his experience as a seasoned traveler and applies it to age-old conundrums like marriage, happiness, money. In the first episode on marriage, he experiences an Indian wedding as a groom assistant, he signs up for pheromone dating, he visits Las Vegas and offers his own satirical take on quickie weddings.I think this is an accessible and humorous pop-culture approach to philosophy or anthropology. Compared An Idiot Abroad, his unapologetic and blunt observations (unavoidable for anyone when faced with unusual human tricks like body modification), stem from earnest and genuine childlike curiosity, rather than mean spirited, or even ethnocentric or chauvinistic compared to the earlier episodes of An Idiot Abroad; maybe travel really did broaden his mind. At the end of the day, he's stating the obvious to the tune of observational comedy (paraphrasing: "he's got wife and kids whose house has no roof, and they're spending all this time running to catch a wooden ball!").One noticeably welcome improvement over An Idiot Abroad: there's less deer-in-the-headlights moments, and more going-along-blending-in-the- crowd attitude. This time he seems more game to be part of experiment rather than a spectator taken hostage. Definitely more enjoyable to watch.

biomark2 This show is even better than Karl's last one. The insights are wonderful to watch as they unfold - evolve - grow. I loved his last series (An Idiot Abroad), with all the comedy. Karl has grown out of his distaste of all things foreign, not quite embraced those cultural differences, yet shows his courage to not only seek to understand the culture, explore the differences - more than that, through his experience - he attempts to apply his brand of practical culture in order to better understand those cultures around him. We all do it - but in his not so eloquent style, he helps us all work our way through it as he shows us how it could be done.What this series does is take it to the next level, to give it that philosophical advantage, without missing the whole point - life and all the things we do are weird, wonderful, and most of all (most of the time) - funny. Great job and I expect it will continue with great success. Kudos.

Jason Oldakowski An idiot is bored with the meaninglessness of his existence and seeks to broaden his horizons in an attempt to become a better man. PSYCH! It's actually about a little roundy-headed, chimp-like Manch moron who is being paid handsomely to travel the world and seek out freakishly happy freaks in an attempt to understand why they seem so much happier than him. For example, the first episode sees Karl probing the human compulsion to get married. He's been in a relationship with the same woman for half his life and they've never tied the knot because he doesn't see the point. Can anyone in the world possibly change his outlook on what he's always considered to be the myth of so-called "Wedded Bliss"?The only reason Karl Pilkington has agreed to make this "Travel Mockumentary", that could very vaguely be referred to as "An Idiot Abroad Series 4", is because those brilliant "bullies" (aka Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant) are no longer at the helm. They have absolutely no say in where he goes or what he does. Karl is finally in charge of his own itinerary... and there's no Dwarf-For-Hire tagging along to act as a "hindrance" (No offense Warwick). This means that if Karl should find himself in a lacklustre location and/or a sticky situation, he has no one to blame but himself. LET THE FUN BEGIN!How's my review?

Monica Lee I was a big fan of the Idiot Abroad series and was super thrilled to see that Karl is back. This time he is fumbling his way around the world learning about different cultural rites of passage like marriage. I enjoy how Karl views the world. He is unabashedly himself and is naturally hilarious. He questions why we do things like have a big marriage ceremony - is it really necessary? What is the point of pomp and circumstance for merely a moment in time? Karl is a philosopher of this generation. No doubt about it. I'm a huge fan and appreciate him in all his cranky glory. Ricky Gervais was a genius in discovering Karl and introducing him to the world. He truly is unique in today's very artificial culture of celebrity fandom. Karl cuts through the bs and says what a lot of us are thinking.
