Movie Reviews of Clatterford - Season 1
Movie Review: Not Just Jam and Jerusalem
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this series on BBC America and as soon as it was available I ordered it from Amazon. I watch it every couple of months (perfect for a rainy Sunday) and it's still funny. I love the quirky characters and the sense of community created among the women of this small village. A group of very talented, funny ladies (and a few gents) who are a pleasure to spend time with. I wish season two was available - I will purchase it as soon as it is. Highly recommended.
Summary of Clatterford - Season 1
A hilarious and heartwarming comedy from the creators of Absolutely Fabulous, Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley. Welcome to Clatterford, a small town big enough to have a good cross section of people, local shops and a late night convenience store. It's also small enough where everyone knows everybody's business but doesn't talk about it unless asked. Cue the Women's Guild, who aren't afraid to ask. Their topical meetings -- ranging from 'How to solve world poverty' one week to 'the benefits of using marrow in jam' the next -- are the center of village life, like it or not.Fans of Calendar Girls and the many productions of French and Saunders (creators of Absolutely Fabulous) will enjoy Clatterford: The Complete Season One. Centered on the daily and social calendars of the village women, Clatterford features unique characters, comical by observation with the wonderful human traits we can all relate to. The women make jam and have meetings, but it's what goes on outside of those meetings where we really get to know the women. Leading a cast of familiar faces, including Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, is Dawn French, who portrays a mentally challenged woman, Rosie. The excellent writing in this series is apparent in an episode featuring Rosie and Margaret, her dueling personalities, fighting over the religious importance of a potato supposedly with the face of Jesus. Rosie is about as close as we get to the zaniness of Ab Fab, since the humor here is more subtle overall and weaved throughout, posing as normalcy. Also subtle are the dramatic moments and serious undertones, which elevate this series above being just another "Britcom."--Rachel Moss
