Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Killa_Priest ignore the guy who's says this is rubbish- he's a bob monkhouse fan- this isn't the same kind of humour (if you can call bob monkhouse mother in law jokes humour!) so it's no surprise that he doesn't get it....after the fast show this is the best British sketch show- forget the ever cruder and less funnier little Britain, the catch phrase based Catherine Tate, the hopelessly overrated python, the sadly dated harry enfield, the inconsistent smack the pony- this is intelligent yet stupid humour that is completely reliant on it's excellent cast.we need more stuff like this..

ShadeGrenade Whilst Britain was mesmerised by 'The Fast Show', a vastly superior sketch show appeared on B.B.C.-2. 'Big Train' was in the 'Monty Python' mold, featuring sketches that started out as one thing before turning into something else, such as 'Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Working Class'', a 'Saint' style fight breaking out at a posh dinner party, or Chairman Mao leaping off his death bed to do a Bryan Ferry impression. The cast threw themselves into the thing with commendable straight faced enthusiasm; Simon Pegg, Julia Davis and Catherine Tate later became major stars. My favourite, however, was Kevin Eldon. His 'Sir George Martin' was staggering! Mark Heap was also brilliant. This was Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan's first series since 'Father Ted' and alas suffered by way by comparison. The two shows are just as funny, but in different ways. It takes genius to make the notion of a 'stare-out' contest funny. 'Big Train' deserved to be a greater success ( a lot of it went over people's heads ) than it was. "Is that a reference to me not being married?".

andylevett As much as I like the Fast Show for it's homelyness, many of the charachters and sketches become to predictable, repetitive and sometimes are forced to reach that 'hilarious' catchline.Big Train is the solution. Many original sketches sometimes never repeated. Show Jumpers obsessed with being fireman? and people say this isn't original?As for the World Stare Out Champs with Barry Davis and the summarisers, just superb. More of this please!

drella-2 Unfairly written off as an attempt to replicate the cult hysteria of The Fast Show, Big Train dared to push the boundaries of a genre (the comedy sketch show) which thought it had seen it all. No, not all of it worked, but the same was true of Python, Vic&Bob and all the other groundbreakers. When it did - the manager who distracted his mutinous staff with juggling displays, the Jekyll & Hyde-type scientist, the staring competitions, Mao Tse-Tung as Bryan Ferry, it was painfully, inexplicably funny. Stick with it.
