I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Come fly with me is on par with little Britain! Just NOT funny! I am in disbelief that anyone could find this stupidity funny! The characters are poorly made up and the make up is amateurish! A 10 year old could do a better job! The skits are probably created by a group of stoners because they would be the only ones who would find this garbage funny! All in all this show should NEVER be seen again and I am upset it is taking up valuable television space where a good program could be shown! I can't even stand the commercials promoting the show! If this is English humor then I say please stop making comedy shows!

After the failure of Little Britain USA, Matt and David decided to get from LB and start a new show from scratch. Their idea was a 6 part mockumentary series set in an airport.Was it good? Computer says "No".It's just so unfunny and BORING! The guest stars are just doing it for the cash. They probably knew this show was going to flop anyway.Granted Matt and David are very good actors and perform every character very well. However, Matt does the worst Irish accent since Brad Pitt.We have the typical Little Britain racist jokes, sex jokes and gay jokes. Like LB USA, I found myself yawning every minute. I only watched 3 episodes and that was bad enough.Is there anything funny? Well, there's a scene where the owner of Flylo is inside a plane and he's showing you a sheet that instead of showing you crash positions, it shows you sexual positions. Then he feels horny and goes into a toilet. And the sign slides from "Vancant" to "Doing it". I have to admit, I laughed.Overall, I thought this show was worse than LB USA. Lucas and Walliams will have to do something spectacular to win us over again. Maybe a Little Britain movie.

People compare Little Britain and Come Fly with Me unfavourably. They say the humour is different, or that the latter is not as funny as the former. Having watched the two series' back-to-back in a matter of weeks I have to say I disagree. The humour is essentially the same. The difference is a matter of targets.Little Britain famously made fun of the disadvantaged and peripheral elements of the UK population: the people that everybody prefers not to see. At the same time it celebrated the English eccentricity in a weird way. We saw the disabled, the flaming queers, the transsexuals, the illegal immigrants, the chavs & council estate skivers as players in the national drama, even if only satirically. That was a first for British telly. The catch, and what made their style of satire acceptable, was that many of these people were not actually what they seemed: Ting Tong was actually a man from Tooting, Andy was actually able bodied, Dafydd was actually a repressed queer-hater, etc., etc.The characters satirized on LB were freakish, fringe characters who were almost guaranteed not to be part of BBC's viewership. They were people that you would be more likely to see terrorizing the streets and the newsagents, stuffing themselves with cakes over a bodice-ripper or (as I imagine in Lou's case) watching obscure documentaries and re-reading newspapers from the previous decade. It was satire with a large element of "I'm glad that ain't me" humour. Those two styles of comedy are usually incompatible but in LB they found a balance; half the audience seemed to be laughing at the Walliams & Lucas duo while the other half was laughing with them. But the humour in Come fly seems to have sent those two camps scuttling back to their respective sides of the humour divide. Come Fly With me targets more familiar faces and it's failing seems to be that it is set in an average setting, peopled by average characters. It satirizes people who have the time and money to use airports regularly - people with respectable dayjobs, authority and status; people with a shot at a managerial role. Basically, it targets the half of the audience that laughed AT the freak parade that was Little Britain. They are much more stable, affluent and secure characters than inhabited Little Britain - the kind of people who like to think of themselves as 'average' men and women, and that they should be able to hide behind their averageness.I suspect that Little Britain fans who dislike Come Fly with me makes me are the same ones who never really understood LB's more satirical elements. They might have laughed at Little Britains' freakshow because, "I'm so glad that's not me" but they never recognized that the joke was also on them, at least in part. Walliams and Lucas took mainstream preconceptions to extremes and subverted them in unexpected ways. Basically, I think that Come Fly with Me hits hits too close to home and has dented the vanity of a certain BBC-watching demographic. That's why less people can take it and it's also exactly why it makes me laugh. I really hope there will be a second season of this!

I liked Little Britain, which was funny and inventive (particularly Tom Baker's voice-overs), but this series is simply a disaster.Most of the jokes are based on stereotypes, but there seems to have been no effort to make them actually funny.A gay male cabin crew member? How side splittingly funny! A low cost airline that charges for every extra? Amazing observational humour! I watched three episodes hoping that it would get better. That maybe new characters who were amusing might be introduced, or the existing ones developed, but no.This is catastrophically unfunny, and no redemption appears to be in sight.Cheers, Will
