Movie Reviews of Bob & Rose - The Complete Series
Movie Review: More Alan Davies please sir?
Summary: 5 Stars
I am newly in love with Jonathan Creek so I looked for more by both of that series stars and found this! I have thoroughly enjoyed the show - I loved the langorous nature of each episode. I assumed the British don't have those 22 minute time constraints for comediess that we have in the U.S.? It was really funny, touching and sometimes hard to believe it's true. I also assumed it was probably a true story - that's cool to know. Having myself fallen for my best friend who was gay when gay wasn't cool I totally believe it could happen. Of course he was gay! I am since happily married but fully informed! I think the biggest piece of truth in it is what someone else pointed out: anyone can fall in love with anyone... Try to be more open minded and you'll find happiness in romance! Although this purchase was a hunt for Alan Davies - really enjoyed the actress who played Rose - and Bob's Mother is a brilliant actress too! Really well done... Now I need more please!
Summary of Bob & Rose - The Complete Series
A gay man and a straight woman (think Will & Grace in the UK) meet and do the unthinkable -- they fall in love! Rose is down to earth, straightforward and funny. Then she meets Bob, a teacher, who's certainly not expecting to meet someone like Rose. In their hearts they know they're doing the right thing, but everyone around them thinks they're crazy. Are they hurtling towards the biggest heartache ever? From Russell T. Davies, the creator of Britain's version of Queer As Folk. This 2 Disc Set contains the complete six-part series.Love conquers all in the radiant Bob & Rose, a six-part British series about an unorthodox romance that quickly gets under a viewer's skin. Bob Gossage (comedian-actor Alan Davies) is a thoroughly gay, Manchester schoolteacher who falls for Rose (Lesley Sharp), a vibrant secretary stuck with a boyfriend she doesn't love and a naïve mother bent on marrying a creepy con artist. Bob and Rose's bumpy, inexplicable affair has its share of doubts, and there are many rules to be re-written (Rose stands by her man whenever he insists that he's gay, not bi-sexual).
Yet these two know, instinctively, they are meant to grow up and out of their respective singles scenes (straights on one end of a club-dominated street, gays on the other end), no matter how painful their course or how often friends attempt to sabotage them. Davies and Sharp fully inhabit the rich characters created by writer Russell T. Davies, creator of the original, British version of Queer as Folk. This is a rewarding, lovely series, highly recommended. --Tom Keogh
