Movie Reviews of Clatterford: The Complete Season One
Movie Review: Funny, funny, funny.....
Summary: 5 Stars
It took me a few episodes to warm up to season one of this BBC comedy. It has veteran actors Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French and Joanna Lumley in it. Being used to the outrageousness of "Absolutely Fabulous" and the "Vicar of Dibley" this show is more restrained and in its own way, funny. How Jennifer Saunders can create so many rich, original characters is amazing to me. Jennifer takes a supporting role and lets Sue Johnston take the limelight here with a wide array of complex, funny, supporting characters. This series "Jam & Jerusalem" is renamed "Clatterford" for American viewers. So become a member of the Clatterford Guild and join in on the fun!Movie Review: Not Ab Fab, but funny anyway
Summary: 5 Stars
Hard to describe. A "Twin Peaks" with a twist of "Northern Exposure", steeped in British humor kind of show. The large cast includes a rather suburban Jennifer Saunders, an unrecognizable Joanna Lumley, and the village mental case, Dawn French. This isn't "Absolutely Fabulous", "French & Saunders", or "The Vicar of Dibley".
At first I didn't like it, but the more I think about it, the more I laugh. I guess that's part of why I gave it 5 stars. I haven't been able to get it out of my head. From the face of Jesus on a potato to the germophobic nurse, this show is, well, different. Different, but funny nonetheless.
Movie Review: FANTASTIC!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not know what to expect after reading the various reviews. You almost expect the popular names of the show, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, etc.. to take front stage. But that is not the case.
Each episode is wonderfully written with quick litle laughs thrown in that had me cracking up! Whether it was from the irritated Vicar or Dawn French as the loveable mental challenged Rosie passing out cheese at a funeral or having a balloon come out her bottom, it is such a wonderful 2-DVD set of the first 6 episdoes. I actually came back to see if there was season 2! I cannot wait!!!!
Movie Review: More than once
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't an AbFab watcher, but luckily picked up on the good reviews for "Clatterford" before it premiered on BBCA, and haven't missed an episode (thanks, TiVo). I love this show as much as I loved "Northern Exposure", which says alot, and have watched every episode at least twice, in part to decipher it (Brit-speak, you know), but mostly because on re-viewing, the background action in every scene provides new delights. I'm pre-ordering Season One as a birthday gift to myself. Let's hope we get to at least Season Five with this series.Movie Review: My new favorite Brit-com
Summary: 5 Stars
Jennifer Saunders is a genius and I'll lick anyone who says otherwise. She has achieved new heights with the Clatterford series, which she writes and also acts in. This series has it all-Dawn French in a true comedic acting role and funnier than ever, both understated AND broad humor, brilliant writing and quirky but fleshed-out characters that you can't help but care about. I want to live in Clatterford and join the Guild! I own seasons 1 and 2 and can't wait for season 3 to make it across the pond.
