Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Doug Burr It doesn't spoon feed you the jokes, but, if you are paying attention there is some super funny stuff here. If the people who made this never made anything else it would already be enough. I love David Brent as a character, he may say and do dumb things sometimes, but, he is a nice person who just wants to be liked. Tim and Dawn are more normal and Gareth is the perfect right hand man for Brent. You can see the influence of Larry Sanders. It is a great show and it deserves all the hype.

El-Kapitoshka Quite simply wonderfully written and typically British. Well not anymore. This show has literally been imported all over the world it's that good. It has been the blueprint for all other comedies for the past 15 years and will probably continue to be just that for a lot longer yet. Having watched the whole lot over around 40 times, I can of course quote the script well enough, but the layering proves to catch me off guard with other little things I notice each time around. The good news is - Brent is back this summer and my how we have missed Mr Toad. The only sad thing is that none of the others from the original cast will be in it. A must watch.

kikkapi20 This is the coolest show of all time, this kicks the American versions ass. With all its sex jokes and very likable characters. for example, David Brent, the most annoying, obnoxious, thinks hes cool and funny and cute, boss of all time, Gareth Keenan,my personal favorite, the geekiest most gullible employee of all time etc. basically this show revolves around the rocky relationship between dawn,the secretary, and that cool guy(i forgot his name). A comedy show which makes us laugh so hard at a particular character one almost always feels embarrassed for him... that's how awkward his persona is. Both seasons and of course the special/grand finale are masterfully constructed and couldn't be any better as far as I'm concerned.

Bene Cumb I have postponed the watching of this series so far - as I was working in a similar environment for a long time plus the impressions I got were different from the other British sitcoms I definitely liked, e.g. The Thin Blue Line, The IT Crowd, Father Ted... True, the atmosphere in The Office is much more realistic (sometimes too much, boosted by documentary approach), and first episodes caused more unpleasantness and shame than gags or smiles... But then things started to move and Season 2 had more fun/gags than embarrassing moments, although last episodes brought along certain sorry feeling. As for the cast, I knew/remembered (and still admire) Martin Freeman, but I had no aware knowledge of Ricky Gervais, and he irritated me at first, but then I began to comprehend his talent beyond his character (not so rare boss-type at all!) and I liked the result. The whole cast is strong - male ones slightly more visible than females - and the 3rd distinctive character I liked a lot is Gareth Keenan played by Mackenzie Crook.All in all, this mockumentary gets 8 strong points from me.
