The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Hadrina
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Aneesa Wardle
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Guillelmina
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The concept is basic, two guys go round to there parents for friday night dinner. The problem with show, is that it's to repetative. The characters in this are just pure irritating, Always saying or doing things that make little to no sense. If you like a show that has the same storyline every week then its for you.

I have only recently starting watching this show on catch up on channel 4 and I have to say I have never laughed so much in my life. I go to bed still chuckling to myself. It is so well written, all the actors have perfect timing and despite some of it is predictable and you know what is coming you still fall about laughing. I have to keep re watching bits because I laugh so much I start crying. Can't wait for series 5.Majority of British comedy now is just not funny the way it used to be, this program however is fantastic!

I honestly can't believe some people have given this show a bad review. Friday Night Dinner is one of the few British sitcoms that have actual modern humour. Most of the time, my family end up getting into arguments, but if there's one thing that'll bring us together for a laugh, its Robert Popper's brilliantly created and well thought out comedy that although maybe isn't always appropriate for young children, its something that the whole family can enjoy no matter what area of comedy they may have interests in! I honestly really like the religious twist to it, it helps you to create an image of what a Jewish dinner is NOT like, which is good because thats what good comedy should be able to do. The cast was so well thought out too, Simon Bird and Tom Rosenthal are both young and energetic actors during their acting work together which really makes me think that they are actually brothers. Tamsin Greig and Paul Ritter also seem to make the perfect comedy on-screen match which gives a whole new family experience to the show. And not to mention Mark Heap's brilliant skills as an actor playing that annoying and irritating neighbor that we all know and well... hate. By far, Jim Bell (Mark Heap) is my favorite character in the show due to his hilarious actions and speech methods. I also do love how the show explores both side of the families.

Watched this on and off from the first series and every time I ask myself why??? Its predictable,child like humour is embarrassing. I really could sit there for the whole series and not raise a smile. Poorly written sorry. I cant believe its written by the same guy as The Inbetweeners which in contrast is my top all time comedy ...Hilarious. I finally throw in the towel to put myself through any more agonising Friday night dinner. I would rather watch paint dry !!!!! Can we have a sequel to The Inbetweeners A really funny series about what the famous 4 are getting up to in their eventful lives post leaving school and going their own way. This would be worth watching !!!
