Wonderful character development!

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

As a person from the North, I love this. How can anyone not love it? There is so much that is great about Phoenix Nights. One of the things I like most is the way Peter Kay has made all of the characters so real. Brian Potter seems to be out for all he can get - he's a very rounded character. The characters' reactions to all the different situations are ingenious and - to an extent - it is a topical programme. I hope one day people will start to think of it as a British classic. Two episodes I particularly love are the Crimewatch UK-style programme that features the Phoenix Club and also the way the characters rally round for the Stars In Their Eyes night. I have no idea how they came up with so many different acts and so many different costumes. I think the sense of community at the Phoenix Club is an important factor in holding the character together, and I love the way Brian Potter can't stop acting like the manager, even after Jerry St Clair has (supposedly) taken over. People may not like Phoenix Nights but everyone should at least try it.

Peter Kay's 'Phoenix Nights' is simply the funniest British sitcom for years. The setting is cliched, but its so full of bleak comic invention, every scene bursts with sight and word gags mercifully unflagged by studio laughter. The underlying sense that there is no salvation for any of these characters adds a poignant edge to the hysteria, and Peter's Kay's Brian Potter is brilliantly foiled by Dave Spikey's Jerry, a man almost (but not quite) intelligent enough to realise he'd be better off somewhere else. A real gem, utterly silly but very true to life.

This show is one of the greatest things on tv at the moment - painfully funny...... 'I've been on my feet all day' Brian Potter (you need to see this to know why its funny!!) The characters are all top notch, with dave spikey putting in a brilliant performance as Jerry 'the saint' Sinclair. The 1st episode in the 2nd series where Jerry is singing in asda about black bin bags to the tune of 'men in black' has me in tears of laughter no matter how many times i see it!!If u havent seen it before then do, its worth it.It probably wont travel very well....its sooooo northern, it could even be said its so north western that foreigners maybe wouldnt get all the jokes."Sorry Paddy, i couldn't see you there for the light bouncing off yer head" Jerry

Just by fluke, I happened to catch an episode of this funny-as-all-hell show while vacationing in the UK. To the powers that be (being the TV station heads here in Canada): please pick up Phoenix Nights, and begin airing episodes here ASAP! This is too funny to miss! And as a plug to Canadian audiences: This could easily be a British companion piece to our "Trailer Park Boys" (except way better!)
