Movie Reviews of Gavin and Stacey: Season One
Movie Review: I'm Not going in there bareback!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a fan of the British show" The Office", which I consider one of the best "sit coms" ever made, than you will love "Gavin and Stacey." I will go on record and say it's just as good as "The Office.". If you liked the romance of Tim and Dawn (or Jim and Pam in the U.S. version) , than this is the show for you. While "The Office" humor was rooted in the uncomfortableness of life, this show is rooted in pure charm. Most importantly, it's laugh out loud funny. Like "The Office", "Gavin and Stacey" has great re-watch value and has tons of quotable lines.
Created by James Cordon and Ruth Jones (who play Smithy and Vanessa), "Gavin and Stacey" is all about brilliantly written characters. They are all the kind you would love to have as close friends or as relatives. As great as the writing is, the acting is just as fantastic. Everyone creating full 3 dimensional characters that deserve to be up there on the top lists of great TV characters.
The show is such a delicious treat, that I hope everyone gives it a shot and you can thank me later. I've been pimping this show to every person I come in contact with. If you don't find the show utterly charming, than you have have no soul and I pity you. OK, that's a bit harsh, but I know you will be because I'm a tough critic about stuff and this show won me over on just one episode. I anxiously await the release of the 2nd season and the Christmas Special here in America...so get crackin' BBC.
Summary of Gavin and Stacey: Season One
GAVIN & STACEY:SEASON ONE - DVD MovieThe Brit-produced Gavin and Stacey is finding plenty of adherents on the Yank side of the pond, and based on this six-episode debut season (it aired in 2007), it?s easy to see why. This show?s charms are many, but while it might be called a sitcom, it doesn?t have a lot in common with American programs of that ilk. There?s no studio audience (much of it was filmed on location) or laugh track; best of all, the humor comes primarily not from facile one-liners but from the characters and the quotidian situations they find themselves in. The former, of course, include young lovers Gavin Shipman (Mathew Horne) and Stacey West (Joanna Page), but it?s the others in their orbit, especially respective best friends Smithy (James Corden) and Nessa (Ruth Jones), Stacey?s Uncle Bryn (Rob Brydon), and Gavin?s mum, Pamela (Alison Steadman), who threaten to steal the show. Watching this talented ensemble deal with everything from an unsightly zit on Stacey?s nose to the various distractions at a Welsh ?wedding fayre? isn?t exactly edgy, just delightful.
The show picks up with Gavin and Stacey (he?s English, she?s Welsh) meeting in person for the first time after months of phone conversations. The pair hit it off like gangbusters, but their plus-sized pals need a little time and a lot of booze to overcome their mutual loathing at first sight; indeed, Smithy and Nessa?s drunken assignation leads to major complications (actors Corden and Jones also wrote the series, so it?s no accident that their characters are perhaps the most interesting of the lot). Things move fast after that, as Gavin proposes, their families meet, and the bride and groom have their stag parties, all leading to Gavin and Stacey?s marriage (in the sixth episode), just nine weeks after their initial meeting. It?s a great start--now on to Season Two! Bonus material includes outtakes, a ?making of? documentary, and episode commentary. --Sam Graham
