SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
razzzor-1 I watched the first 3 episodes and realised I hadn't laughed a single time. Not once. I'm very surprised at all the great reviews it's had. Dan Clarke just isn't that funny, or likable as his character Don (who's most likely probably just Dan playing himself). He's just not relate-able to the common male audience. I found myself rooting for Karl, who likely represents the average viewer more than Don. He was the geeky nice guy that got the hot girl, while her complete jerk of flatmate lies and does immoral acts, sometimes right in front of Carl, to win her over.You can do a complete ass but keep it funny and likable, so Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm or Ricky Gervais on The Office. But Dan Clarke doesn't make it work here.The "5 things" is never funny - it's sort of like some of those "Whose Line Is It Anyway" skits where they take an object and think of funny things to do with it. Except on this show, they just aren't funny.The rest of the cast seems pretty talentless when it comes to comedy. They're just "there" as extras while Dan provides the only humour, rather than becoming their own character.The one thing I thought showed promise in the first episode was the interactive between Dan and his boss. That seemed to only last one episode and ended the only bit of interesting interaction between characters.I'm amazed this is still going strong at 4 seasons. Perhaps it gets better as the seasons move along, as comedy often does, though I'm not sure where the story could possibly go when you only have one person attempting to provide all the humour.
cjoecliff Dan Clark's caricature of himself, "Don" is one the most likable dimwits I have ever seen on TV. The show has the dark, scenario-based humor of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, the daft charm of Workaholics, but the culture and setting of city-life in England. For any Americans that claim "Well, I don't really like British humor"; How Not To Live Your Life might be a good place to start if you're on the fence about British TV. Yes, it has that classic dry, British wit, but Dan Clark is such an Ameriphile that anyone on both sides of the pond can't help but crack up at the preposterous and sometimes uncomfortable situations "Don" gets himself into.
BowlOfCereal I really can't believe how BBC Three decided to cancel this show after three seasons. They're definitely mental in the face. I've seen A LOT of comedy shows in my life, almost none of those could make me even smile. Some did of course, but these are shows that are regarded as the best ever made (Seinfeld, Chappelle's Show etc.). A feature a lot of sitcoms share, is that they're fun to watch, and are made interesting because by adding drama, but if you want a laugh, you're probably better of watching Dara O'Briain. I happened to come across this show and watched only five minutes after which I knew there will probably be nothing better on TV on all +200 channels. At this moment I watched, and enjoyed every episode. In the first season, it is made clear very quickly that Dan Clark is a comedy genius. Despite having a terrible cast (apart from David Armand), Clark was able to write a show so full of creative, unorthodox jokes, that the focus is only kept on him and Armand, while the other characters are only used to add some emotion to show. After one season, the cast changes however, taking an amazing turn for the better. With Laura Haddock, who is both funny and good looking, the writers are able to write hilarious banter between her and Clark, giving the show one star, and two great actors in ing roles. The somewhat bad parts of the show, like a lack of decent minor characters, are so easily camouflaged by great writing, and the great chemistry between Clark and Armand, and Clark and Haddock. And I'll repeat: I can't believe how this show has been canceled, either a lack of marketing by the network, or just a network full of idiots. Everyone who's watched this, show can consider him/herself lucky for experiencing the great everyday phrases with Clark's twist like, insane in the mind, mental in the face, gaymen, roundhouse in the prick, and so on. I will definitely be on the lookout for future work of Dan Clark, as I'm sure it will be another piece of genius.
shanize This BBC3 comedy is one of the best things I've seen in a long time, and it takes a lot to make me laugh heartily. The writer, Dan Clarke is a diamond and his acting is both hilarious and flawless. The actress who played Abbey (in the first series) was poor although I can see that the character fit in well and looked the part. The main character really hits home to me and I'm guessing he does for a lot of people in their late 20s/ early 30's, especially non-students or ex-students.The new series is even funnier than the first so far with a slight cast switch around. Why isn't there more stuff like this on TV? Can't wait to see if there will be a third series! Here's prayin!
