Movie Reviews of Father Ted - The Definitive Collection
Movie Review: Wretched Indeed!
Summary: 1 Stars
How bad can this be? There is a laugh-track, for god's sake. Read Joseph Haschka's wonderful (and only other one-star) review for "Father Ted - Series 1." I wish I'd read Haschka before ordering this totally abysmal nonsense. Digging ditches is more fun than watching this boring, ugly, dreadful garbage.
"Father Ted" is dull as dishwater, surrounded by the kind of nutjobs that spend too much time commenting on other Amazon reviews: those with nothing to do. No imagination went into this series. It strings a series of old cliches about rural people and retarded priests into a gob of nothingness. The Catholic Church is beside the point entirely. This is only for those who think loggers are called the fu-fu nom de plume "lumberjacks," who think rural people are all inbred and stupid. This is not about interesting eccentrics of any sort, just bizarre and boring distortions.
If this show is extremely popular in Ireland, this may be due to a lot of anger. I sure don't want to follow a laugh track to know where the "funny" parts are. "Father Ted" attempts "Monty Python," but it's just cheap, with a dull, badly put together set, poor production values, and lacking a story to tell, except to inflict a kind of hellish purgatory on viewers. It can't be compared to the "Vicar of Dibly," rather, it's a surreal nightmare, playing to the lowest common denominator. Do yourself a favor and don't believe what all these positive reviews. They are totally misleading. Don't waste your hard-earned money on this grotesque drivel.
Summary of Father Ted - The Definitive Collection
Craggy Island, located somewhere off the coast of Ireland, is the setting for this critically acclaimed, award-winning comedy series. Father Ted, the responsible one of the bunch, is challenged with the difficult task of overseeing the simple-minded Father Dougal and the cranky, alcoholic Father Jack. Father Ted has his work cut out for him keeping himself and his colleagues out of trouble and rectifying the ridiculous situations they find themselves in, all-the-while avoiding the scornful eye of Bishop Brennan.DVD Features:
