Are You Being Served? The Movie Reviews
A Big Let Down!!!!!!!
As a huge fan of the original show I have watched this many times still hoping to like it someday. That day is still not here yet. I agree with all the others, It's junk. It is almost amazing that the entire, original cast could be in this and it is so bad. The live studio laughter from the TV show gave the actors something to feed off of. This is not here in this movie and makes it(And them) very dull. And yes, the television show (1973-1985) was recorded live, and did not use a laugh track. Even a phoney, pre recorded laugh track could have done this film some good. If anything this film proves a goog joke is so much better in front of a live crowd. They feed off you and you feed off them. It is a natural human response to laugh when you hear others laughing first. Also, many of the bits are old jokes they did in the series and none of them are as funny here. Actually none of them are. It really is such a shame the only time these people got together to play these parts in a film, This is the result.
DATED COMEDY
The staff of the clothing section of a department store all go on holiday to the Costa Plonka. A spin off movie of the famous 1970s British sitcom series of the same name is little more than an extension of a standard episode of the seires only it looks slightly more realsitic being made in film. Humphries causes some amusement as his overly camp and flamboyant character, whilst Mollie sugeden gets a few of the laughs too. The film really lacks any sort of direction and never once are you treated to outdoor, exotic locations. so basically all of the action takes place in the hotel. Rather like a substandard Carry On film. Fans will undoubtedly be delighted whilst people unfamiliar with the series will remain unamused. On the whole, mediocre at the most with a few laughs along the way but in all honest the whole thing seems terribly dated now. Recommended to fans of the series regardless.
