A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I've read many reviews on either side of the fence and quite thrilled that there are comedies that choose a side.I don't see the show as racist just as the American Show "All in the Family" was not, although there were racist people who did think the "Archie Bunker" character made sense.Yes, we all realize that there are people who think like the characters on Come Fly with Me and people like Archie Bunker, but I for one am laughing "at them" not with them. Too over the top to be taken seriously, but with elements in them to make you laugh at how ridiculous they are.I am not from the U.K. and I had no problem laughing out loud.Loved the documentary style, thought it "brilliant". It's not for everyone but worth a shot to see if it's your "cup of tea". Personally I do use the word brilliant sometimes in life and at time to time I do have cups of tea. I'm Canadian and hoping that myself using these phrases to describe a British comedy isn't seen as making horrible stereotypes or being racist.

Okay- I have never seen the comedy duo's previous work "Little Britan" but apparently it is considered to be better than this. The only character that I dislike is Precious the coffee shop owner, repeatedly showing that she doesn't want to serve coffee by forcing a closing down by sabotaging, whence repeatedly saying "praise the lord". Some of the other characters have their moments - but 2 of David Williams' characters steal the show, the immigration officer and Moses Beacon, that maybe defining my sense of humour as sick (it is - but I do have a bar to set somewhere between funny and not funny sick jokes).I have seen a majority of the episodes (but not all - I have little intention to watch that either - it's just that I could do better things with my free time). One of the redeeming things about this show if you like some characters but hate others then the time length of the parts some characters are on screen are 5 minutes before they go onto something else.OVERALL: decent entertainment - nothing seriously outstanding about it.

We wondered whether the stars of Little Britain could come back with something just as good, not necessarily a sketch show, but that was a good option, and they did it. Matt Lucas and David Walliams bring us this mock documentary series set in a fictional airport with various characters working and hanging about in it, basically, taking the mick of programmes like Airport. Characters included foreign FlyLo owner Omar Baba, lazy coffee kiosk manager Precious possibly my favourite character), passenger liaison officer Moses Beacon, chief immigration officer Ian Foot, ground crew member Taaj Manzoor, camp Irish steward Fearghal O'Farrell, holiday makers Peter and Judith, and there were many more besides, all making us laugh with mildly racist material, disgusting stuff, and well written dialogue. Narrated by Lindsay Duncan, with guest appearances by Geri Halliwell, David Schwimmer, Rupert Grint, Barbara Windsor, Anna Friel and many more. I was expecting appearances from characters like Vicky Pollard and Daffyd Thomas, but it doesn't matter, Walliams and Lucas have created a pretty funny follow up from their big successful show, and I certainly wouldn't have missed this. Very good!

Does anyone remember the excruciating Dick Emery Show on the TV from way back? Well this badly executed abomination is much,much worse. I have tried it twice (mainly because I could not believe how bad it was the first time) and it has been found wanting each time. it needs a decent and funny script, rather than something written by intellectually challenged sixth form schoolchildren. The performances by the so- called stars are phoned in on a very dodgy line and the only praise it may get is for some of the make up that they employ. To be honest I never liked Little Britain either-it was lazy and crude. I don't mind crude at all but it has to be funny. That is where Walliams and Lucas fall down. They just are not funny-they are much too aware of what they are doing to be real comedians. The best comedians have something undefinable about them. Now I actually quite like David and Matt when I see them on talk shows as themselves, they can be engaging and amusing. As comic characters they always make me feel uncomfortable. A big ZERO to CFWM. Edit 13/01/11 I am sitting watching Come Fly with Me again while waiting for Not Going Out. Christ it is rubbish-can the participants not see how unfunny it is? It has not raised even a smile let alone a laugh. Disgusting waste of licence payers money!
