Movie Reviews of 'Allo 'Allo - The Complete Series Two

Movie Review: Listen carefully I will say this only once. This is funky British commedy
Summary: 5 Stars

The second season of the series expands on the first by introducing one of the funniest characters of the series - the British spy with a French gendarme's alter ego - Crabtree.

The second season continues to make fun of the Germans, French, and British. Watching 30 minutes of this show is an absolute treat. (It takes you out from a dark mood in 20 minutes or less.)

The humor is distinctly British, absurd yet campy, situational yet cerebral. It is not a mish-mash, it is a wonderfully exciting mixture of different strands of humor. This makes this series a one-stop shop for anyone who needs to satisfy divergent preferences for good comedy for the members of a household. Also, if you have preference only for one type of comedy, but do not know what to buy, this is the perfect series to buy.

Another nice feature of the series is that all episodes tie into the previous episodes. Moreover there is a short review given by Rene, the main protagonist, at the beginning of each show. You do not have to own the first season to understand what happens in the following seasons.

Set during World War II, 'Allo 'Allo tells the story of Ren? Artois, a French caf? owner in the village of Nouvion. The village has been occupied by the Germans, who have stolen all of its valuable artifacts. These include the first cuckoo clock ever made and a painting of The Fallen Madonna (known to those who have seen it as The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies) by Van Klomp. The commandant of the town has decided to keep them for himself after the war and gets Ren? to hide the painting in his caf?. The Gestapo also want the painting and send Herr Otto Flick to find it.

At the same time the caf? is being used as a safe house for two brave but clueless downed British airmen. Ren? is forced to work with the Resistance, who would otherwise shoot him for serving Germans in his caf?. The far-fetched plans of the Resistance to get the airmen back to England, which always fail, are one of the main running gags of the series.

Ren? is also trying to keep his affairs with his two waitresses secret from his wife; in addition, the Communist women-only Resistance members are also plotting against Ren? for serving Germans and working with the Gaullist Resistance. The only reason that they do not shoot Ren? is that their leader is in love with him, a fact he has to hide from both his wife and his waitresses. Furthermore, the seemingly gay German Lieutenant Gruber is also continually flirting with Ren?.

In the meantime, Ren?'s wife is getting proposals from Monsieur Alphonse, the village undertaker, who is torn between his love for her and his admiration for Ren? as a true hero of France.


The companion books are decent.

I have pretty much seen the entire series, even those seasons that are not on DVD yet.
