I'd rather stick my face in bowl of acid than look at that absolute dirt.

Looks awful, but he knows his audience

Looking forward to it.

Looks like the standard attempt to 'movie' up an inherently static property that is the television sitcom. To be fair, at least they didn't go with the standard trope of sitcom movies and have the cast go on a foreign holiday.

I watched the trailer out of mild interest as tbh I can't abide Mrs. Brown, I was curious to know how they'd adapt such an intentionally archaic sitcom like that to a film, but am quite happy just to let it pass me by. What annoys me are the hordes that often descend on threads like these to defend and attack the show with equal frenzy, as if either viewpoint is a life choice

Looking forward to Mark Kermode ranting about it.

You know what? I don't think he will. He'll probably peg it as a harmless comedy which fans of the show will love.

I find it odd that they've stuck an outtake in the middle of the trailer.

I dunno, Kermode by his own admission has a bit of a tin ear (as he phrases it) for comedy at the best of times, and I find his comedy reviews tend to be passing ones without much substance. Though I doubt any potential rant would be on a par with his infamous Sex and the City reviews

IIRC, the TV show has out-takes in the middle of the broadcast episode; fluffed lines, unintentional laughing, that sort of thing, working in the live audience for full effect. I guess the film will follow suit.

Man nothing gets my goat more than the hoary 'begrdugery' argument. Whether you like something or don't, if a person hates something they shouldn't have a tired, blanket label thrown in their lap as a consequence. Ok, the vitriol gets a bit much but so what? I don't enjoy O'Carroll's warmed-over vaudeville material myself, but I don't begrudge the man his success - he has clearly worked for it. As overused a term as 'pretentious' or 'PC brigade' imo

e_e

Wondered how long it'd take for the begrudgery card to be pulled out. The problem is less with begrudgers and more that some Irish people can't take scepticism/criticism on the chin.

Il go see it not because I like it , I've watched the TV show and its mildly funny but i'm gonna go and support my mate whos playing one of the securitys guards in it, and also to support Irish Filmaking

I suppose it does follow that tone alright. I imagine they won't keep them in the actual film though and are just throwing in a bit of the gag reel.

upstairs for coffee

I think only two good things have come about from this show: keep the old fogies happy after Fair City or whatever and he has helped launch facebook "comedian" careers of Cian Twomey and the Dublin lad who just mimick his stuff

TheIrishGrover

Not my cup of tea but I say fair play to them. Nobody's forcing me to watch it. I saw the Christmas thing a couple of years ago that seemed to serve as a pilot really. I found it mildly entertaining but I had no urge to watch the rest of the series as I didn't think it was my bag. And guess what? I didn't watch it. Everyone wins. Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course but if you hate the series what's the point in sitting down, watching something that you are predisposed to hate anyway and then vent? Don't like Mrs Brown? Fine, I'm right there with you, but that's why, get this amazing idea: that's why I won't go to see the film. Shocker. But I wish all involved the best. Just because it's not my sense of humour doesn't mean it isn't somebody else's.

Exactly. You don't see Michael Fassbender and Liam Neeson being criticised in here, neither do we see Father Ted or Game of Thrones being criticised. There is little to no begrudgery there and there all Irish Exports in terms of their production. Because well.. they're ****ing class. Its how we want to be seen (or at least the majority)

You don't see a critical thread on these topics set up purely for the sake of it.....

Mrs Brown's Boys though....

Should be good alright.

Yes, you do. Neeson's been phoning it in for years, and Fassbender made a balls of the big finale in X-Men, totally losing the run of his accent at the climax.

But that isn't begrudgery either, it's criticism.

fonecrusher1

Ah sure jaysis begora begora sure he's an Irish fella making a few quid and sure if it makes someone smile sure jaysis isn't that payment enough.






Still utter utter crap though.:pac:

To be fair to Neeson he's had a serious tragedy in his life. If the guy wants to collect a cheque for the rest of his career I for one wouldn't blame him.

As for fassbender Inglorious basterds and 12 years a slave showed he's well able to hide the accent. I really have no idea what happened in first class.

Edit: I watch the show from time to time but I'd definitely be avoiding the film.

constitutionus

kinda worried if it can transition, but TBH like the show so ill give it a shot.

Can't wait, it should be brilliant!!!

So will the comics he steals most of his crappy jokes from be getting a cut of the box office takings or are they all dead by now?

I judge comedy based on how funny I think it is. Mrs Brown's Boys is what it is: puerile, simplistic humor. I've seen all 3 seasons and the Christmas specials and I have no problem admitting that I like it. In addition, it's nice to see something aimed at the older generation. Most modern comedies have casts of mainly 20-30 something models which gets a bit bland after a while. Say what you will, but form my point of view there are certainly many, many shows (especially some US imports) more deserving of the flak that Mrs. Brown's Boys and Brendan O'Carroll receive.
I certainly intend to see the film. I can't imagine it becoming a comedy classic but I'd be surprised if it turned out to be terrible.

Really well put - I don't expect it to be the best movie I've ever seen, but I expect it'll be good and well worth a watch..... wait and you see now, we'll be proved wrong and it'll be a load of garbage ha ha

jpm4

It's obviously aimed at older people - do they not have a right to enjoy a few laughs? Not everyone is going to be into things like Alan Partridge or the Office or whatever. Don't get the vitriol myself.

David Teacher

I'm not old and I still like it:-)

glad to hear I am not the only one who is hacked off with endless American comedy with the same character archetypes that appear in nearly every show. middle class pretty people holding down white collar jobs earning a ton of cash etc etc. parks and recreation is good but that's it. I might actually go to see the movie because I like it when Brendan goes off script and improvises some jokes here and there or when something goes wrong and he reacts to it. then it is quite amusing. one other thing I cannot understand is that the bbc seem to hold the show at arms length. they know its very popular and yet almost ashamed of it because it is so popular. I have only seen Brendan on two bbc shows, the one show and QI. you would think he would be on Graham Norton by now.

No. They should be put in homes and harvested for their organs.

As much as I enjoy the series this looks awful. Everything that makes the show good has been traded for big bombastic cliches and James Bond supervillains that are totally out of place the real world environment that the show created.

Now I only managed to sit through about 5 minutes of the god awful show but the last thing I would call it would be in anyway real. Life on Mars created a more believable world and by that I mean the time traveling aspect of it.

Sure the whole bloody show is a fcuking outtake

Had the unfortunate experience of seeing the trailer for this today.
Absolute tripe. I'll keep the remote control close at hand, in case the trailer is again.

ButtersSuki

Watched the trailer with a relatively open mind.looks awful.

I see Brendan was cute enough to give Joe Duffy a scene - that'll be about €500k he'll get in free advertising from Joe for the rest of the summer as Joe will plug it to death with his audience of coffin dodgers, and probably at least one whole show dedicated to the "fillum" on top of that.

TerrorFirmer

Don't watch the show but the trailer is absolutely cringey.

ancapailldorcha

I wonder why there's only one trailer. The first time I saw it in the cinema, it garnered a few laughs. I went to see Locke last week and the audience was silent all the way through it.

Considering that there's only one joke in the entire thing it would be hard to get multiple trailers out of it. Once you get past the whole "oh jesus it's a bloke in drag" there's not much more to it.

razorblunt

I tell you what, I'd rather watch this than a movie version of The Big Bang Theory!

Don't get me wrong I'm not a fan of Mrs Brown either, I hate that it's often "let's take this joke we found online and write a scene around it just to use the punchline".

AnonoBoy

Watched this promo clip from the film the other day.

Really terribly written scene that seems like it was done once and then never revisited. The dialogue is just clunky clunky clunky.

But watch this be the feckin' number one film the week it's released!

Firefox11

Probably. I just find Mrs browns boys crass and unfunny. It's just not my thing but he seems to have cracked a market that just finds constant swear words funny for some reason.

The only pity is that we will never see a Fr Ted Movie..sigh.:(

I'm no fan of Mrs. Brown, but I was surprised how badly executed that scene was, worrying too for any actual fan if that's considered a high point worth promoting. Wouldn't mind but it probably could have worked as a quick throwaway gag with a little better timing and nous. Silly, but it could have worked.

e_e

I've watched that clip twice and I still can't see where the laugh is supposed to be.

If that's one of the high points then I can imagine cinema screens being deathly silent throughout.

There's no laugh track to tell the viewer when to laugh.

scenes of racial stereotyping

Classy.

I was going to say everyone should make a very conscious effort to get out and see the independent and smaller releases due next Friday, although there's not a whole lot: Cold in July and a Mexican film called The Golden Dream seem to be about it. At least stay home and watch a Louie marathon.

Mrs. Brown is a wiley old woman getting one over on the stupid young people. She pretends there's such a thing as low fat apples and the stupid young person believes her and pays more for them! Then to top it all off, Mrs. Brown's friend also believes her. That's how convincing Mrs. Brown is and that's how stupid the people around her are. What's not to laugh at, eh? eh? EH?

It's really poorly put together. The characters spell out every detail out loud instead of the camera giving the viewers information. It's like O'Carroll has forgotten he's not writing for the stage any more.

cant wait to see this movie
