It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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

series has gone right down the tube. some of the new cast are really bad actors. script plots are very thin and predictable and most of all very unfunny.i am not alone in this opinion a lot of my friends said the same. get rid of the scriptwriters and get some new blood in .cheers

This programme has the potential to go on for years and years. Lets face it, Benidorm will always be there, the Brits will continue to go and there will always be characters like those portrayed that everyone can associate with.Even if Benidorm (the programme) becomes stale there are lots of other destinations that could be used with the same characters.....Ibiza, Majorca, Turkey etc etc. They all have the same 'kind' of guests week in week out.It made a pleasant change in the second series that they have ventured outside the AI hotel for scenes and went to see the 'local' bullfight.The bee-all and end-all is that this is brilliantly written, brilliantly acted and is my must-see programme every week.This should be included in Media Studies courses and the National Curriculum showing how to write a perfect comedy script!

At last a sitcom that you can just sit and laugh at. Benidorm has some great features. It does not try to be clever. It is not political and certainly not politically correct. It is not sexist, by which I mean it does not make the male characters out to be more stupid, feckless, or inept than the females. Most of the characters are grotesque to some degree, and yet all are likable and are played by excellent actors. Good comedy is not easy to do - re the depressing list of hopeless sitcoms scattered across TV history.I could go on but there is no need to analyse Benidorm. The only thing that you really need to know is that it is very FUNNY.PS The second series is turning out to be equally good.

A refreshing new comedy based on the typical average Joe's holiday abroad for the past 30 years - a week in Benidorm. Why did nobody think of it before? Up to date themes are used to great effect. Including a gay twosome, a married couple who's action between the sheets has run out of steam and a middle-aged couple of unlikely "swingers" who unashamedly recount their exploits in graphic detail. It would be interesting to hear how paying holiday makers at the Los Pelicanos Hotel fared whilst the TV crew took over parts of the complex for filming last year. Regular Benidorm holidaymakers will recognise much in this series of programmes. One commentator has remarked that the show loses something from barely straying from the confines of the "all in" deal at the hotel. But I would suggest that this has been done to contain costs. I once wrote gags for BBC TV and was more than once ticked off by a script editor for including too many characters or setting in my sketches.It's good to hear that ITV's Director of Entertainment, Paul Jackson, has ignored less than favourable reviews of this first series to commission a further extended series which should commence filming in Benidorm later this year. Let's hope that writer, Derren Litten, has a few more laughs up his sleeve.
