Sadly Over-hyped
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
I am an addict of the TV show, the live shows and everything they do. And this was the last piece of work they have done on TV/film as 'The League of Gentlemen'.If you love the series then you will absolutely love the film. It is a nice ending to their TV series. It is clever and funny.Although it does not focus on some of the most popular characters, it is still great to see all the characters together and with the writers. A must see for any League of Gentlemen fan.Watch it!
league of gentleman has been the most disturbing British sitcom to be on t.v and how can a funny movie be so bad rated,they just have no taste this film will make you want to watch over and over again and still find it funny.it is surprising that it has done bad but it is British the cinema do crap most of the time but this time it (in my words) a boost with comedy with a giraffe spunks over Lady's, this is a top British comedy and better than dodge-ball, so by this and it won't prove you wrong as i don't really laugh through films but this film was amazing through comedy with the best characters but i was a bit disappointed of how much Edward and Tabb's were in there for back to typing buy this film and it won't disappoint you.
The movie is just plain awful from the start. I assume you have to be a fan of some previous movie-series in order to watch this movie. Other than that, as a first-time-viewer it's rubbish.In the first minutes of the movie, tricked by the "league of gentlemen's" name you expect something more of the "invisible man" nature. Only to find some stupid jokes about some "brown fish" in the toiler and such.It just seems to display an absurd situation without any finality. For somebody that just wants to see a movie, this could prove to be a bad choice. Not quite your normal evening-movie.I don't see humour in this, just plain stupidity (and there's more if you have the nerve to watch it).
It became apparent in the first 25 mins of watching this that the writers really wanted to make a feature length film and they probably certainly enjoyed the whole process, but then seemed to forget the fact that it needed a decent plot! If the best they could do was have 3 of the dullest characters enter the real world and have 'all sorts of amusing capers' then they should have left well alone! I didn't laugh once, and that whole "Adventures of Baron Munchausen/Time Bandits" thing going on in the middle was very, very poor! Convaluted, contrived and very loose. It just seemed like a whistle stop tour of anything they thought 'might' work just to drag it out to a feature.Full of holes eg - the Royston Vasey characters needed the writers to carry on writing in order to save them, yet Jeff managed to write himself into the sub-story/time-filling William and Mary and era. If he could do this then why didn't they just carry on writing Royston themselves - duh?? And Herr Lipp's audition? What was that for? I mean what was the point? He did it, and we heard nothing else whatsoever about it? My main point is, that while I loved the series, this was an ill thought out, seemingly rushed project. Put it this way, the plot was so poor that if we didn't already know the characters (and as a fan I had a certain loyalty to carry on watching), and we relied solely on the the story itself, this would have fallen flat on its face! At best it would have gone straight to video, and at worst would never have been made in the first place! Or maybe that should be the other way round?? Truly dreadful....
