The greatest movie ever made..!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I've lived in one of the rougher areas of Glasgow all my life and grew up with such comedies as Rab C Nesbit and Naked Video, and i can honestly say that Chewin' the Fat is a near perfect representation of real life in this part of the dear green city! The characters portrayed in the show are people i see in every day life - there's a Jack and Victor on most Glaswegian buses at any given point in the day! And an earlier comment made about the school teacher and her pupils being disrespectful, well thats exactly what happened when i was at school and i have it on good authority from my younger brother that the case is still the same today. If you don't 'get it' then fair enough but no show on TV has annoyed me enough to make me feel like logging on here and going off on a multi-page rant about it. Basically if you don't like it - then its probably not been aimed at you in the first place, so get over it.

Like so may other sketch shows before it this one is spotty. When its good then it is very good and I wiped many a tear away watching it. But I also just sat there a lot waiting for something funny and often even thru an entire show there was nothing. Compared to other sketch shows like Saturday Night Live and Python and Dave Chappelle it has about the same hit-miss ratio but only occasionally does it do anything new whereas the aforementioned have all broken their own particular patches of fresh ground. I like the way they kept the thick Scottish accents tho'. I think that made the jokes all the more rewarding when I could understand them. Definitely not for everybody, but I did manage to find a bunch of downloads out there about 18 months back.

i found this shire comedy quaint and back from the good IL' days of earlier times--- I don't know why they picked such awful material--- I find that the Scottish people have a great sense of humor but the unfairly represents this. There was a bit too much repetition of characters and jokes--- the skits got a little too 'hammy' and reminded me of things that children do to make you laugh as opposed to a frightful wretch in your gut because you can't breath and you are laughing too hard--- i didn't not find this--- it was more of a bizarre cultural product and not so much a comedy. ---Meanwhile 'Little Britian'--- I'm not sure what these sketch comedies have in common--- they can both be a bit borderline 'shireish' and lose touch of the greatness of all cultures--- but that't the UK for you.
