The greatest movie ever made..!
... View MoreGreat movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

View MoreObviously, as with any sketch show a few of the sketches wear thin or rely on 'stupid' humour that not everyone will love, but taking all of this into consideration it is still one of the best sketch shows that I have ever seen. 'Man Stroke Woman's' strength really comes from the actors, and they really are ALL a very funny and talented bunch. Nick Frost is arguably the most famous of the group, but this doesn't mean that he is given the most screen time. They all have an equal time on screen and they all use their time brilliantly.The programme relies on taking man/woman relationships and finding the funny side of them, occasionally pulling them into the ridiculous but still in a totally hilarious way. What's great about the show is that there are only a few sketches that are repeated throughout the series and most of these still manage to remain funny with just two or three exceptions. It's true that sometimes the repeated punchline of 'I don't think we should do role play any more' or 'you can never just say I look nice' do wear thin over time, but the lead up to these punchlines is still extremely funny and different every time. Overall it's a brilliant show with brilliant actors and I think everyone should give it a go. It won't be to everyone's taste but I urge everyone to at least have a look.
... View MoreRecently had the pleasure of seeing both seasons. Loved it and my wife agrees we had a good laugh (multiple times) throughout the whole series. There's a lot of everyday situations that we go through played out to the extreme and I love this particular satirical view on life. All the awkward moments of dating, parenting and married life - really taking on the 'What If?' approach quite well. The acting is stellar on all counts. I do particularly like Nick Frost's ability to play a great husband in one scene and then completely back-flip and play a useless drunk Uncle in the next. Man Stroke Woman is right up there with other greats such as 'The Office' 'Little Britain' and 'Catherine Tate' I do hope they get a 3rd series!
... View MoreThe great thing about this sketch show is that it does what a sketch show should do; focus on one aspect of life and develop it into comedy! The format of a sketch show has been done so many times in the past 30 years that it really doesn't mean anything anymore. But Man Stoke Woman is about adults in there 30s and the relationships between men and women. There is no catchphrases, no silly costumes (well perhaps one small one worn by Nick Frost) and together with a fresh cast and good scrips, the show is by far the best of the 'new comedy' to air on BBC3 in the past few years. I think the people who don't find this funny are the types who focus on repetition, although nothing really wrong with the 'Little Britain' formula, it does get tired easily and the writers get lazy. The great thing about this show, is that you don't know what to expect. Nick Frost is probably the best known out of them all, and he shines along with the rest of the cast. I really wish they'd do more together as they work off each other so well. Here's hoping that they'll be more. Although I doubt there will be. Shame. Can't wait for series 2 DVD release.
... View MoreJust caught the repeat today and I can't believe this was ever broadcast, let alone enjoying a repeat showing. There was not one laugh in the entire show, and the whole thing felt like the writers were trying too hard to guess what "wacky" situations the "kids" would find hilarious, while all the time trying to make up for the fact that they have no talent as comic writers.Poor Nick Frost - he may reckon this is his personal Big Train, but it's not even as good as Simon Pegg's ultra-turkey Hippies. Hyperdrive was very poor too. The sooner he returns to his position as Simon Pegg's lapdog, the better for him.
