SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Limpin Trenchfoot Of course humour is a personal thing but to rate this as a one star is suggests maybe the reviewers like comedy where you can see the gags coming from several miles away. HNTLYL is probably too off-kilter and unobvious for their tiny minds to comprehend. Fact is, it is one of the few BBC sitcoms that is laugh out loud funny. The plot lines are offbeat and the characters of Don and particularly Eddie are original. The camping trip is possibly the best episode here. Then we have Sinead Moynihan as the object of Dan's lust, and understandably so as she is drop dead gorgeous. Perhaps it's a good thing the BBC only kept it to three series. As demonstrated by other recent BBC sitcoms like Outnumbered and My Family it's usually best to quit while you're ahead.

ellendachs I came across this series by chance in the local library and was very pleasantly surprised. It is a great new take on a sitcom. Lacks much of the typically staid and predictable drama of so many comedies. Also, what happens is mostly believable and not totally outlandish.There is some really original content, but what makes it is the delivery by the main character "Don". Also, there is no canned audience laughter which definitely improves the watch-ability.I would liken it to "Men Behaving Badly", but it's perhaps a bit less laddish and slightly more sophisticated. If you enjoy that you will probably love "How Not to...."I look forward to getting series 2 & 3 - I hope it can maintain its fresh originality.

Greshvakk This show is truly awful, every line is a bad, contrived "gag" none of which are funny. None of the characters are remotely believable and none of them ever say anything that any person, wacky comic character or not, would ever say. It is all the worst elements of British comedy writing in one show, painfully painfully unfunny and with no understanding at all of how to build scenes, characters, drama, jokes or anything else that makes a good show. The only thing more depressing than watching it is the fact that there have been 3 seasons of it and that there are people on here who are fans of it, actual fans - how can this possibly be? Put yourself in for a lobotomy if you like this show, seriously.

bootlebarth Episode 1 is a bit quirky for about ten minutes, then it's downhill all the way. Here's a so-called comedy without laughs. The situations are stupid, the script lazy and the characters - leading or incidental - are irritating, boring or ugly.I can almost see how a pilot might have persuaded the world's greatest optimist that a series might work but it doesn't. How anyone could have commissioned more of this rubbish defies belief. Dan Clark must be the least funny writer and least charismatic actor ever to have been granted a series.One embarrassingly bad scene follows another. 'Little Britain' and 'The Catherine Tate Show' did their best to plumb new depths of awfulness but 'How Not To Live Your Life' is worse. Its only possible value would be as compulsory viewing for TV producers under the title of 'How Not To Make A Comedy Series'.
