Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is the worst show on tele, no debate. It's not funny, the acting is terrible, the story lines are predictable, honestly, ever it's painful to watch.

I can't understand how such outdated, lame dross can be commissioned in the 2010s. This is old-fashioned in a bad way. Even in the 1970s, this would be second-rate. The protagonist is worse than when Dick Emery dressed in drag. None of the other actors are funny or entertaining, either.

People may not know that Brendan O'Carroll created the whole concept for this show in 1992, first made as a radio broadcast, then he wrote four books, one of them being turned into a movie starring Angelica Huston, and then becoming a touring stage show, but finally in 2011 his creation became a television hit. Basically Mrs. Agnes Brown (Brendan O'Carroll) is an Irish widowed foul-mouthed matriarch with five adult children: only daughter Cathy (Jennifer Gibney, Brendan's wife), son Dermot (Paddy Houlihan), gay son Rory (Rory Cowan), son Mark (Pat Shields), son Trevor (Martin Delany), and who looks after Grandad Harold (Dermot O'Neill). She also has various in-laws and grandchildren, her best friend is Winnie McGoogan (Eilish O'Carroll, Brendan's sister), and Dermot's criminal friend Buster Brady (Danny O'Carroll, Brendan's son) is a frequent visitor. Mrs. Brown runs the household, she likes nothing more than meddling in the lives of her children, she is never lost for words, always uttering profanities and caustic remarks, and there is always chaos somewhere around her, but she always has her heart in the right place. Also starring Amanda Woods as Mark's wife Betty Brown, Fiona O'Carroll (Brendan's daughter) as Dermot's wife Maria Brown, Gary Hollywood as Rory's husband Dino Doyle; Fiona Gibney, Jennifer's sister as Sharon McGoogan, Conor Moloney as Father Damien, Emily Regan as Barbara, Coronation Street's Susie Blake as Hilary Nicholson; Jamie O'Carroll, Brendan's grandson as Bono Brown, Mark Dymond as Mick, Derek Reddin as Dr. Flynn and Gary Lilburn as Father Quinn. Particular features that make this comedy different to others is not just the lead character breaking the fourth wall and talking to the audience, but production mistakes, fluffed lines, tomfoolery and cast laughing and smirking are not all edited out, they are included in many episodes and add to the great laughs. O'Carroll is a fantastic writer and producer, and as Mrs. Brown he is just a fantastic character, Dibney as his only daughter is always great as well, many of the supporting cast do very well also, it is very cool that many of O'Carroll's real family and friends are included in the cast. This programme has always divided opinion from audiences and critics alike, it's like Marmite, you either love it or hate it, admittedly when I first saw bits of it, it didn't look like my sort of thing, but once I tried I absolutely love it, and it does draw in huge audiences. It's a fantastic mix of a standard sitcom format, foul language, slapstick, stupidity and playing with expectations from production recording and the studio audience, it is no wonder that it has had many high-ranking Christmas specials, toured live and had a hit movie, it's a great situation comedy. Very good!

Watching Mrs Brown's boys is like stepping back in time, and returning to the 70's, back to a time when comedy was funny, and somehow innocent. For many years sitcoms have been like magnolia walls, drab and uninspiring, and totally formulaic, 2.4 children, My Family, in with the Flynns, and now more recently The Kennedys. The same show with different actors.Mrs Brown's boys has done something different, the audience participation adds something back into the humour, the laughs are real, not canned.As funny on screen as they are on stage, how unusual to work so closely with ones family, hopefully they're a close bunch. I for one wish Brendan would change his mind over no forth series, it's his wish that the show continues only with Seasonal Specials. Viewing figures for the later episodes tipped over nine million.The best episodes: -Mammy's Miracle -Mammy's Ass -Supermammy - Mammy's Valentine
