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 · 31-03-2014 12:29am

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.

brianregan09 · 31-03-2014 12:55am

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.

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 · 31-03-2014 11:58am

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 · 02-04-2014 10:36am

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 · 02-04-2014 9:11pm

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

David Teacher · 03-04-2014 12:16am

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

Tipsy McSwagger · 03-04-2014 8:48am

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?

ancapailldorcha · 03-04-2014 2:52pm

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 · 03-04-2014 9:56pm

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 · 03-04-2014 11:50pm

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.
