Crappy film

Best movie ever!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Let me first start out by saying I like Little Britain Series one and two; I missed series three because I started to live in the US again by that time but I may not watch series three now that I know how Little Britain USA turned out. In act of full disclosure I did start a bit late into the US version as I just upgraded my Satellite package to include HBO and BBC America in November due to a new discounted rate through my apartment complex so if there was some comedy gold missed in the first few episodes due tell me.When I discovered that there was a US version of Little Britain I was quite happy. I was very keen on watching the programme I enjoyed so much back in the UK and being able to watch it in HD was just some icing on the cake. Well, as it turns out the cake has been left out since 2004 because by the time I viewed Little Britain USA it had become quite stale indeed. Mind you I watched one and a quarter episodes so it's not like I didn't give it a shot I just didn't find it all that good. I think I may have chuckled once perhaps but that was at a rehashed bit that used to be quite funny in the first series. In fact as I watched the US version I started to think that maybe it was never funny in the first place. Maybe I was deluded back in Britain into thinking it was funny just because of the hype surrounding the show at the time. I thought that I had been duped but then I happened across the original on BBC America and I discovered that I had not been duped the show has just become really bad. I then tried to watch another episode that I had recorded of the new series and was just as let down after only 8 minutes and had to shut it off. In my eyes the show as run its course.Please do yourself a favour and watch Series one and two... maybe three; again I haven't been able to see that one yet but just don't bother with Little Britain USA. You will just get depressed by the thought of how much these once funny characters are dead perhaps forever.

Let me just say, I am a big fan of the Little Britain series, and up until now it has been very entertaining. But flicking over hopefully to watch little Britain USA, all I saw was rubbish. Any previous comedic value has been removed, and what was left was purely humour using the shock factor - trying to be offensive in a desperate attempt to break in to a new market. Why David? Why Matt? You could have done so much better if you had stuck to the winning formula - the jokes went too far, Carol talked far too much and I was extremely underwhelmed by the whole thing. I'm sorry, I could only face watching one episode before giving up on little Britain altogether. Little Britain - keep it British!

I was never a fan of Little Britain when it was shown on the BBC, and Little Britain USA is just as bad. Little Britain and Little Britain USA is basically a sketch show with a collection of 'colourful' characters, like Vicky Pollard, the chav schoolgirl, Bubbles, the overweight nudist, Lou and Andy, the fake disable guy and his carer, Daffyd Thomas, the homophobic Welsh gay, etc, with some American buddies like the gym buddies, the mother and daughter team Ellie and Grace where they tell each other how much they love each other until one of them comes up with something vulgar (like double ended didoes) and Phyllis Church and Mr. Doggy, a woman who does inapproitate things in the disguise of her King Charles Spaniel.They are several problems with Little Britain and the American Spin-off. Firstly once you heard one of the jokes, like Vicky Pollard's 'yeah but no but' or seeing Andy getting out of his wheelchair when Lou isn't looking, then you don't need to see or hear it again, but Matt Lucas and David Walliams are poor writers and just go over the same territory over and over again. At the same time the fans of the show just lap it up and love it. The catchphrases from the show have become a part of British culture and can get very annoying. Because they is such little room for continuing the show in Britain the characters are taken to other places like Thailand and obviously the US. Secondly, the show is vulgar, it is perfectly willing to go to the lowest common denominator just to get a cheap laugh, like seeing someone grotesque naked or watching a woman urinating whilst talking to someone. The show has been criticised for being sexist, racist, homophobic, and ageist, basically annoying a lot of people on the left and right. I say its borderline and does cross the line sometimes. The offers no intelligence to the audience, has no clever jokes at all. It crude and crass. The characters are horrible and they is no point to the show. They is little originality and because of the show ability to repeat itself all the time any novelty goes off really quickly.They has been a real decline in British comedy over the years. Gone are the days where great shows like Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, the Young Ones, etc... are long gone, and the BBC keeps rubbish show after rubbish show like After You're Gone, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and Coming of Age. But they are still some gems like Peep Show, the Office and to a lesser extent Extras, as well as panel shows like Have I Got News for You and Mock the Week. I personally recommend shows like that way above Little Britain and Little Britain USA.What surprises me most is that it s HBO that shows Little Britain USA. How can a channel that has made top-quality like the Soparnos, Oz, Deadwood, Rome, etc... show this rubbish to its audience? Do the executives think that just because the show is British that it means it's high quality? It doesn't. The saving grace in my made is that the American critics have panned the show and audience figures were low in the states. It does show that America does have taste and in recent years have overtaken Britain in quality in a number of areas in entertainment. Top-quality British shows are becoming less and less frequent. As well Little Britain USA has not be renewed for a new series which is good news.

Words cant describe how poor this show is. Prior to the show being broadcasted in the UK there were mixed reviews of the series from United States residents. I personally did have high expectations for it, expecting it to be as original and witty as Little Britain has always been. I mean i used to love theses guys, they were amazing, their smart jokes, used to leave you laughing on the floor. I own every DVD and never get bored of it.But this was terrible. I fail to believe how anybody, could find one sketch of this even remotely funny. Just terrible joke after joke which were all so cheesy and unimaginative.I mean they could have made these sketches an hour before the show and would have done a better job. From the annoying studio audience laughing at cringe worthy jokes that just made you want to shout at the telly "That wasn't Funny !! " They must have been paid heavily to go through that torture. Every sketch was poor and weak and i wouldn't be surprised if this was cancelled off air.Even David Walliams and Matt Lucas acting was extremely bad,and i thought i'd never say that ! Its as if they just took the first shot and left it as it was, if it was bad - oh well. If it was good then its a bonus. And all the kids who seemed like drugged robots. Where did they get them ? Surely they could have hired kids from an acting schoolAnd finally when one slightly funny sketch (Fat Fighters) eventually came around that was just completely ruined by the frustrating audience who by the end of the show i wanted to shot. But even this wasn't that great.If you haven't seen this, you'll probably ignore the bad reviews as I did, thinking that Little Britain has an will be great. Be prepared to be disappointed Little Britain fansThis doesn't even deserve a 1 out of 10. If you want to waste 30 minutes of your life on this then go ahead. But BE WARNED ! ITS TERRIBLE !
