Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Paul Evans (Series 1) Beautician Alice Chenery and writer Gil Raymond are totally perfect for each other, the only problem is their paths are deemed never to meet. Alice is slightly awkward, slightly staid but kind hearted and generous. Gil is an American perplexed by life, living next door to cougar Irene.I think Love Soup was somewhat ahead of its time, it had it all, it was hilariously funny, deeply moving and emotionally engaging, by the end of the series my love for the characters grew hugely.How good an actress is Tamsin Greig, the whole series in fairness hangs on her performance, she's just wonderful, her acting in Series 2 when she hears the news of Gil's tragic death was insanely goodSeries 1 was fantastic from the off, I never tire of it, the most memorable moment I can remember is Trudie Styler's speech to Gil in the opening episode, it's one of the most moving things I have ever seen.Series 2 is a mixed bag, I think the opening 5 episodes are excellent, the latter 5 are a little dull in comparison, I didn't think Alice was brilliantly written for towards the end.David Renwick I salute you 9/10

Izzit249 If you live in the suburbs, are relatively well off financially, and do not really have much contact with the city life of england, then this is the comedy for you. Not something a mass audience would go for, but if you're like these characters they show you'll love it to pieces. Overall this is a comedy that the snobs at the BBC will sit back and laugh at for their pleasure and only a select few of the publics. Comparing it to BBC Comedys like Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, and other classics, this series tends to drift away from the BBC's regular product to the audience and deliver to somewhat of a folk culture.

Bob It wasn't until the second program that the oddball charm of this series finally kicked in. But once I was into it, I found myself laughing outloud throughout each episode.The acting is tops. The stories and commentaries within the stories are priceless. And I can't wait to see what happens next to Gil and Alice. The only two not laughing at the play, I wonder will they meet at the intermission/interval? If so, will they see instantly that they were born for each other? My only small quibble is with the some of the expressions Gil uses. Gil is an American writer working in England. Rather than using the expressions and verb tenses he has used since childhood, he uses those from England, probably because the writers are English and not aware of the vernacular differences. With respect to verb tenses, a corporation is considered a singular expression in Aerican and a plural in Britain. For example, in America the BBC "is" singular, and the verb tense would be "The BBC is a corporation"; in England the BBC "are" a plural an the verb tense is "The BBC are a corporation". As I said, it's a small quibble. I have no problem with the native characters speaking that way. But to hear an American do it is like nails on a chalkboard to American ears.I ask the producers and BBC America to continue on with this really funny, observant, existential comedy series. It is a kind of comedy sorely absent from American TV.

Schroedingers_Cat ... ways to get back the six hours of my life I frittered away on this televisual travesty. It *might* have been bearable if the acting had been less wooden and the ending more satisfying: the premise was promising but the execution was poor. At best there was perhaps one genuine chuckle per episode: sadly, what was billed as quirky comedy was in fact anything but. That said, I'm not a huge fan of Jonathan Creek or One Foot in the Grave, although I'd not realised until this evening that David Renwick was responsible for this series. If you want to see something funny with Tamsin Greig in, stick to Black Books and selected episodes of Green Wing.
