the leading man is my tpye

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Lack of good storyline.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Ignore all the bad reviews, because 'Outnumbered' is amazing. It's so funny and realistic, and there's nothing I can fault it for, except the BBC never make enough episodes, and maybe series 4 hasn't been quite up to the same standard. Everything is exceptional, but the best thing by far are the children. Karen (Ramona Marquez) manages to be amusing, annoying and sweet all at once, Ben (Daniel Roche) is so mad and hilarious, and Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey) is very funny and sarcastic, and very good looking! So definitely don't overlook this brilliant programme, because there really is nothing like it. You won't be disappointed :-)

This is just a terrific series. Why the BBC saw fit to bury it with no fanfare is totally mystifying. It is beautifully put together by the writers, actors and director and works just about as well as it possibly could. Hugh Dennis and Clare Skinner are great as the long-suffering parents and are beautifully matched. It is the children though that make this unusual sitcom work. They deliver their lines with fantastic timing and a real sense of reality. Ramona Marquez is just wonderful and so funny - annoying and sweet at the same time - a very difficult thing to pull off. Daniel Roche and Tyger Drew-Honey (what a name!!) are just as good as seasoned professional actors twice their age. I am so glad a laugh track was not added - it makes the action seem so much more real plus it is so funny it does not need one. it needs to be promoted properly and it would achieve a greater status with the viewing public - the BBC are notorious for poor promotion, unless it is another sodding cookery programme!! Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkins are to be congratulated on the creation of this marvellous piece of work.

This is a great favourite. Most parents with more than two children feel outnumbered, but when there are three as extrovert as Karen, Ben and Jake, the parents don't stand a chance. Every family crisis is magnified by the kids, who always hear everything that they shouldn't. Jake is the older one, and the most sensible. Ben has a fantasy mind filled with superheroes and extreme animals, and his flights of fantasy take him far beyond the suburban jungle that he lives in. Karen is very focused, and what makes it funny is that the questions she asks are so sensible, but adult as well, and inconvenient, so she asks about relationships, and why people do the things that they do, and the consequences, and then draws parallels with other situations. Above all the kids never stop talking, and the parents Pete and Sue have a constant battle to hold back the deluge of questions and comments. Pete (High Dennis) plays second fiddle to wife Sue (Claire Skinner), and they are both excellent in their parts. Neither of them successfully cope with all that life throws at them, and the dialogue is hilarious. Thanks, guys, for a first-rate show!!

Outnumbered is a sitcom orientated around family life - it is very accurate and very, very funny. The kid's lines - especially Ben and Karen's, are absolutely hilarious, and are something that a child would actually talk about. It does remind me of life as part of a family - though I'm only 17, I remember asking the kind of questions and explaining how I felt about the situation these children were in when I was their age. It's both realistic and hilarious. I'm glad I found this show, and was lucky to do so - I don't remember seeing any adverts on the BBC for this series. Which is a shame - the BBC have produced a sitcom that is of the same quality of Channel 4's Spaced. I believe it's one of Britain's sitcoms, and destined t be a cult classic, like Spaced. If the BBC showed more adverts for it, they'd have a bigger audience - this is the best show they've produced in years, comedy or otherwise.
