Fantastic!
... View MoreThe film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreLet 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.
... View MoreThis was a big disappointment considering the praise from other reviewers. This is exactly the kind of comedy show as the "When the Whistle Blows" that Ricky Gervais portraits in the excellent "Extras", that is a really stupid and quite boring kind of humor and an even more stupid and boring story. That TV show is a joke in itself in "Extras". which is telling considering.Compared to "Extras", "The Office" or "Silicon Valley" this is a nothingness of a TV show. Maybe if you're British there are things you've learned to think is funny, but I'd guess not. Not my cup of tea I'm afraid and there are many great British shows that I like. Not this one.
... View More..... The Work Outing is by far, for me anyway, the funniest moment on television from any country, in the history of broadcasting!
... View MoreI don't easily re-watch something. But IT Crowd is worth it. If you want to laugh then watch this. Excellent writing, excellent acting. The only thing I don't like about it is sometimes the audience laugh loudly at things that are not that funny. Season 2 episode 1 is the most I laughed in my life. It was non stop hilarity.
... View More"The IT Crowd" is not a complicated show. There are a few main characters, none of who I had heard of before watching it, relatively few big set designs, and a generally sparse style. Yet with so little, the show is one of the funniest that has come out of Britain in recent years. It poke fun at both the foibles of big business and "normal" people while simultaneously skewering the quirks of "nerds."Yet despite its attempts at being topical, the show is at its best when it is just silly. One of my favorite episodes involves the IT department's hapless relationship manager, Jen Barber (Katherine Parkinson), being told she's giving a speech at the end of the week. The IT workers, Roy (Chris O'Down) and Moss (Richard Ayoade), decide to play a prank on her by giving her a box "containing" the Internet, straight from Big Ben. They assume that she will be mocked at her big presentation. Instead, when the box is destroyed due to the intervention of the episode's B-plot, the assembled middle management of Reynholm Industries descends into hysterical violence.It is not a serious show, but it is a very funny one that transcends social status, social skills, and culture to bring a message of silly humor and general mockery.(I watched this show in its entirety most recently in April 2017.)
