the leading man is my tpye

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

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

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I don't know what they were thinking when this show was aired but it is not funny at all. Some of the jokes are so lame that a 3 y/o won't laugh at them. Plus, the annoying portrayal of typical British-Pakistani Muslims is not comic at all. If there was a zero rating, I would've given one.

I saw a few episodes over the last few weeks, hoping that the show would get better, but I have just seen the first episode of season 4 and have to admit...it's absolute tripe. I can't imagine how anyone would find this funny.I can't relate to any of the characters or any of the story lines. It seems that the writers have one or two potential gags and are trying to stretch them out over a whole episode. The build up to each joke is slow and arduous and you can see punchline coming a mile away.I finally give up! I won't be watching any more of these episodes. I can't believe that the BBC are actually funding this as it doesn't do anything to portray the reality of British Pakistanis.

It's just a comedy! Don't take it so seriously! Chillax!Have really enjoyed watching all 5 episodes till now. It's not perfect and yes, it's very stereotypical, aged, and poorly acted. Yes, the Somalian guy's accent is travelling from West Africa eastwards in each episode. Yes the canned laughter is OTT.But it's a comedy nevertheless and one of very few south Asian comedies to be broadcast. I don't think its depiction of the religion is that bad and actually quite inclusive. The jokes shouldn't be taken personally - I certainly don't feel humiliated or offended because it's just a comedy... and it's so true... :)For those who find it 'unfunny' or 'didn't laugh' well, go watch something else. Sheesh!

I think Adil Ray has something - you have to like him. Whether this is the vehicle for his talents is another question. It has an incredibly dated feel and seems like a leftover from the 1970's. Chris Marshall is very out of place in this, mind you he was in the dreadful My Family so even this must be a step up for him. How anyone can get themselves in a lather about a poorly conceived sitcom as many Muslims have is beyond me. It really is not worth it. Maybe the whole thing is going to get better when it has settled in but I doubt it. There are several things it has going for it - Adil Ray for one and the premise is good even if the execution needs work. Watch this space.
