A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

'Two Pints' is hardly the show of the century and outside of the UK I doubt anyone would understand or enjoy the humour, but I love it for everything it is. The humour is very hit or miss, and sometimes too childish or exaggerated, but the rest of the time it has me laughing out loud. What makes 'Two Pints' stand out to me is the fact that it's so honest. It doesn't shy away from anything, no matter how detestable it might be to others. Many of the jokes are filthy, there's open prostitution, alcoholism as a culture, scamming of the benefits system and many more things that other shows refuse to explore but that are very much present all over the UK. The characters are all hugely flawed, underachievers that are lacking in ambition, intelligence and integrity, but they're all endearing and relatable on some level, because they're just trying to do the best with what they have and know. 'Two Pints' needs to be taken and enjoyed for what it is. It's simple, it's flawed but it's funny and authentic and provides some light-hearted comic relief that's perfect for helping you to leave your worries behind for half an hour.

I've watched Two Pints for years and it still cheers me up after a bad day. Yes it's far from perfect (no twenty-something year old living today would say the cultural references that are often heard on the show and the sexual references do occasionally verge on disgusting), but it's not without its charm and the cast do have some good comic timing. It was also a good breakout role for Sheridan Smith, who has since moved on to bigger and better things. I would recommend you only watch series 1-6 as the show's later series (with the exception of some series 7 episodes) were pretty bad.If you're bored and fancy a silly laugh, you can do worse.

I have seen the last 15 episode's of this amazing television series... and I think it is a fantastic show, it is very funny..:) But this last episode, I found very, sad and happy, I was glad to see that Gaz showed his feelings for Donna, they are a very cute couple, they have their up and down sides, but in the end, they cannot live without each other... but the one where Louise types that stuff about Johnny, I found very sad, because finally Janet and Johnny got back together, and then Louise says that, and it is hers fault that all the police goes after Johnny, (that is my opinion, please type back if I got it wrong).. so I think that the show ends every strange, and I must says that I found it very sad that he died...

I'll say it now; Two Pints is probably my all-time favourite TV show ever, as you can tell by the 10 out of 10 rating... But I'm gonna try my hardest to be unbiased in this review.The brainchild of a young Susan Nickson(she was only 18 when she wrote the first series), and named after the hit Splodgenessabounds song, Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps is the story of 5 mates and their quest for "Fags, Shags and Kebabs" with such subjects of discussion as "Spunk", "Crusty Curtains" and "placenta Flob" It obviously doesn't suit everybody's taste, especially if they are easily offended. This plus the fact that the issues raised in Two Pints that should be considered serious, such as "alcoholism" "adultery" and "homophobia" aren't mentioned in a serious way. This alone is enough proof for the many Two Pints haters out there... but they are all missing the point; It's a sitcom, it's meant to take the mickey out of serious issues and fans of the show will realise that if there is even a hint of seriousness in Two Pints that is where the apparently "horrific" acting skills of the cast come into play... It seems to me the cast act this way on purpose, to stay in character, and it has been documented that they act like children on set (especially Ralf and Will) and it is also known that Two Pints has the most out-takes of all the BBC 3 shows.Without trying to force people to change their opinions, I honestly think if you are into strange comedies you should watch a few episodes, I showed a friend a few episodes of series 4 earlier today and he even said he enjoyed them, not as much as me but he found it funny... It's definitely worth a watch if you like your comedy on the dodgy side, dodgy in a good way that is.
