Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

jan omahen Merchant and Gervais are easily one of the best creative duos of our era and when you add Karl Pilkington in that mix, you can't go wrong. I would suggest everyone to start with podcasts and then slowly follow the time line of their work up to this masterpiece. It's genuine, honest and clever. When I'm in need of a laugh I just play a random episode of Idiot Abroad and it reminds me to look at the world differently. The way Karl reacts to other people and things he sees is unexpected but at the same time logical in it's own weird way. Soundtrack is simple but it will grow on you throughout the series. They ended the show in the perfect moment as most of the UK shows do well (Office especially). At the end of the show, you'll really appreciate the gift of Karl Pilkington that Ricky and Steven gave us.

geordiesdad I'll try to make this both short and sweet. Season 1 finds us understanding Karl's childlike ability to reduce things to a simple equation....often very amusing to those accustomed to fancy talk-around euphemisms for things, refreshing. Second season sees more of the same with Karl occasionally simply doing his own thing and refusing to be manipulated by Ricky & Steve.....Steve who?....aside from being 7 feet high he seems to serve no other purpose than to yes-man Ricky...who IS genuinely funny. Sadly, the third season breaks the cardinal rule to success....if it ain't broke....don't fix it. Third 'season' finds the VERY unwelcome addition of Warwick....who is obviously Ricky's in-house spy and confidant. The ganging up on Karl becomes outrageous as they both get different room qualitys on the same ship...etc thus reducing the 'accidental' possibility of terrible accommodation to a deliberate act to hurt Karl.....not funny at all. We always knew it wasn't an accident but smacking Karl in the face with it is just hurtful.....not amusing. Luckily Karl says what's on his mind and including the classic..."You're not a proper actor" to Warwick as well as other more scathing but similar comments about Warwick getting attention because he is an oddity...not because he is a recognized actor.....TOO TRUE. Season 3 is a waste of time and should not really be included in the series as clearly Warwick was chosen deliberately to embarrass and compromise Karl....not needed in the first two so why then? All in all I would watch it again but NOT the section with Warwick

notmandy I stumbled across this and thought I'd just check it out - didn't expect the interest to last beyond one episode. I ended up devouring every second of Karl Pilkington's pondering, stream-of-consciousness dissection of his experiences from '"Wonder 1" to "Wonder 7" and everything in between. For the travel-limited among us the footage of real people and places is a fountain of entertainment and exploration. And because Karl doesn't edit his layman's take on the world the things he says and thinks are relatable and often hilarious. Karl is charming and humble and even at his grumpiest I would travel with him anytime. Season 2 here I come.

maleg27 Some parts are a bit silly, the kidnapping in Israel, for example. but that is just a small disappointment to what otherwise is a hilariousness look at the wonders of the world. He has such a simple look at things, and points out the obvious, the only thing is, that you do not realize that it was obvious, until he says it. "Who would want to live in the carved buildings in Petna. The view is crap !! all you have to look at is my crappy hole in the mountain, It is much better to live in my hole in the mountain, opposite, then you have a great view !!!!". such simple, but funny logic, is hard to argue with. Every episode has a bucket full of such observations, that are better than the last one. All in all laugh out loud laughing television at its best
