The Producers (2005)
Hilarious!
After reading mixed reviews about this film, I decided to go and see it for myself. With the preconception that this film was a Broadway play, I couldn't help thinking about the stage to screen process while watching certain scenes. I felt some of the jokes seemed a little forced and maybe a bit too much slapstick at times, but thought it was hilarious overall. I had a smile on my face through the whole film. Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick were shining as the leads, while Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell were fabulous and funny as Ulla and Franz. The funniest parts were those which contained Roger Bart and Gary Beach as the bitchy, glitzy lovers Carmen and Roger. I thought that Roger Bart was a scene stealer whenever he appeared because he shone. The songs were very catchy and managed to work a lot of comedy into them. I was laughing and tapping my foot through every one.
Overall, I'd give this a 4/5. Great cast, comedy and songs - but some parts a little too cheesy for my tastes.

Great!
I think that this show is brilliant. I think Jimmy Carr's jokes are hilarious and the ways in which the guests are put through pain is tasteful.
They aren't exactly whipped or beaten, but have to endure small electrical shocks as they answer. Other ways the guests are hurt is by being shot with a paint ball gun if you answer incorrectly, and being thrown about by wrestlers while you answer.
This show is by no means disgraceful and disturbing, there isn't any blood or gore or extreme violence, just ordinary people being hurt by a brilliant comedian to win some money! **** out of *****

Truly Fantastic
This show was very very good and original. The actors were all very talented and made it an interesting show to watch - a lot like 'The Truman Show' as if there world was fake around them. When the flatmates went to get Mel a fish that was hilarious! The woman in the pet shop was an actor,too. I hope they do another series of this brilliant show, however, i don't think they will as people have seen this show now and will immediately spot if they try to do another series. I think anew series would be interesting to watch, however they must make it very different. This show also had an amazing theme tune and an interesting introduction every time (voice provided by Sadie Frost) i would rate this show 9/10. Truly brilliant!!!
