    Sorry, this movie sucks

    The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

    This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

    This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

    Nothing to laugh at here. The new series seems to have sketches interspersed occasionally with real life situations (as with the traffic warden) that are just cringe worthy. The few jokes are based around ethnicity - even a distinctly unoriginal crack at Welsh accents. Compared with excellent real-life sitcoms like "Never Better" and "Lead Balloon", and even with other below par sketch shows like Peter Serafanowic's (which at least had one sketch that cracked me up), this programme is simply atrocious.The content is questionable as to whether or not it is racist. I don't like to judge here. "Little Britain" is similar to "Little Miss Jocelyn" in that it is a sketch show with dubious or controversial content that I think is made forgivable by the fact that it is actually funny. Perhaps the dearth of stereotypes and bad accents in the latter programme would not be as noticeable if it was even mildly amusing.I would advise anyone to avoid this programme like the plague. The programme is comical, but unfortunately not in the way its creators intended. Even if the acting was palatable and it had some original jokes, the programme concentrates on a small range of stereotypes none of which I have encountered in my daily life. If it must be broadcast, broadcast it on BBC London.

    After succumbing to the ram-it-down-your-throat hype campaign for this show, I thought I'd give it a whirl after tonight's episode of "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" had faded off the screen. And I can honestly say that instead of sitting on my couch with an expression of bemused disgust on my face for thirty minutes, I wish I had simply stood up and head-butted the wall until my face bled.This is quite simply the worst programme I have ever seen masquerading as television comedy. Ever. Including that god awful one with Jasper Carrot where his kid's in a wheelchair or something. Watching "Little Miss Jocelyn" is like being hit in the face with a massive fish with the word "stupid" carved into its flank.It beggars belief how such a show even got commissioned, let alone made it past BBC executives, producers, script meetings, rewrites and all of the normal processes every TV show goes through, only to end up as this steaming pile of pig's offal. The only conclusion I can draw is that those in charge of our entertainment industry - get ready for the irony - really don't have the first clue about entertainment.But hey, I could sit here and bitch all day. let's go through the show. I watched. She did a cheap, "Last Of The Summer Wine"-esquire wheelchair out of control sketch. The audience whooped. I was silent but carried on watching. She dressed as a man in a fat suit. The audience howled. I was silent and carried on watching. She screamed repeatedly like a distressed boar for the entire duration of a sketch. The audience loved it, seemingly unaware of the Stupid Fish continuing its terrific facial barrage. Televisual root canal work. I carried on watching. A sketch with absolutely no direction - which appeared to be about some fitness fanatics or something - meandered on for about ten minutes. The audience seemed to like this as well, but by that time there was no doubt in my mind that they were being held at gunpoint. A small whimper escaped as I realised I had lost the use of my legs.I implore anyone who hasn't seen this show to give it a watch. You'll see just how bad television comedy can be. And a note to the BBC - There are tonnes of perfectly talented ethnic minority comedians out there. Don't give a show to the first one who comes along just to fill your quota.

    this is comedy genius, i love this show and bought the DVD! everyone i show it to thinks it is hilarious! the best sketch is the hair dressers in episode 4 when two laydeez with attitude work in rival hair salons across the road from each other, which always result in the two laydeez having a show down as to who has done the best weave on the customer!!! this show is a breath of fresh air, a must see! also worth a look is the abusive bus driver, speaking her mind to all the poor passengers getting on the bus, there is also mrs kingston whose husband left her for a 'slut!' who claims to have no problems with men, but shouts at them at every opportunity!!!

    This S HIT is not funny, its the perfect example of reverse racism its only on a mainstream channel because its "ethnic" and "urban". This is political correctness gone wrong, lets have stuff on TV because its funny not because the writers and/or performers are black or Jewish or Asian ie the massively unfunny Goodness Gracious Me and (sh)At Home With The Khumars. A sure sign of the lack of talent is the fact that Jocelyn is acted off the screen by the supporting cast. What follows is only to make up the amount of content necessary to be able to post this comment, please do not consider me racist as I love the comedy of Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock.
