Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

johnekersley Unfortunately I have to agree with those who find this pretty awful. Firstly, Ronnie Barker for me was Britain's number 1 comedian of all time. I enjoyed Open All Hours immensely, but that was then, this is now. I saw 2-3 episodes from the first Series of Still Open All Hours - I think it was first Series - At first, I found it passable, but after buying the boxed DVDs for Series 1-2 and 3, it got worse and unfunny very quickly. To the extent that Series 3 really became pathetic. Revolving around an unfunny theme of selling the silly Eric and Cyril unsold or out of date produce from the shop, with the promise it would improve their sex life ??? Laughs were very few and far between and short. Why Mark Williams - Father Brown - appeared 3 times in the earlier Series, I have no idea, all 3 Series were a mishmash of 'bits' just tacked together to make a 30 minute programme ! Now, I hear of a possible 4th Series ? Series 3 should have ended any idea of that ?? Seems it didn't ?

Paul Evans As a lifelong fan of the original series I was delighted when they announced this was being made. I can't lie and say I find it scream out loud humour, but it is funny enough, it's the kind of show that fills the void left by Last of the Summer Wine. A nice floaty light, humorous show to have chicken sandwiches and cheesecake while watching. It has glimpses of the original magic, there are times when it's quite funny, the true laughs come from the original cast members, Lynda Baron and Stephanie Cole are still great. Maggie Ollerenshaw still manages to inject a bit of magic as Mavis. I think the first episode remains the funniest, since then we've had a few duffs, and a few good ones, it's one of those shows I'm glad is still on. It's watchable enough, but it's massively missing Ronnie Barker. 6/10

riley_b7 I don't know why some of you think this is insulting! Although it's a spin off from the original you have to see it as an entity all its own. David keeps Ronnie's character alive with the great photo and periodic stammer. A lot of the original cast is back joined by many fantastic newcomers. To you naysayers I say nay! This is an excellent show with many funny and warm moments. The old hand eating cash register is still having a go at Granville and the bosomy nurse Gladys still pays a visit. What more do you need?! The British have always been the masters of situation comedy and this is apparent in this show. Don't let the comments steer you away. This show is definitely worth watching. Great job!

l_rawjalaurence Roy Clarke has been one of the mainstays of British comedy writing for over four decades now. Hits such as LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE, OPEN ALL HOURS and KEEPING UP APPEARANCES have kept him at the top of the scriptwriting tree.However there comes a point when all writers are written out; in other words, their comic style is either obsolete or their work is just not funny any more. Sadly this is what has happened with STILL OPEN ALL HOURS, an update of the much-loved Eighties comedy with Granville (David Jason) now in the Ronnie Barker role and James Baxter taking the part of the ingénue enjoying far greater success with women than the younger Granville ever did.Corner shops like Arkwright's simply don't exist anymore; they have either been swallowed up by supermarkets or superseded by chain-store subsidiaries like Tesco Midi or Sainsbury's Local. The idea of middle-aged homemakers shopping on behalf of their spouses is redolent of the Fifties rather than the Nineties: people are far more likely to take their cars out and do a regular weekly shop rather than pop down to the local store for half a kilo of bacon and a packet of tea. Perhaps more obviously, the stereotype of the northern town whose citizens all speak broad Yorksher accents - and who are mostly white - is equally outmoded; in an industrial area where Arkwright's is (presumably) located, the population is likely to be far more multicultural, speaking in a variety of Englishes.What we have in this one-off episode is a cameo-laden cast delivering a succession of weak and mildly bawdy jokes, in the pronounced vocal style characteristic of Seventies sitcoms. Lynda Baron and Stephanie Cole return to their roles from the original series, complemented by Johnny Vegas, Mark Williams and Brigit Forsyth (fondly remembered by viewers of a certain age as Thelma in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LIKELY LADS?). There is a certain air of desperation throughout as the actors strive for laughs, aided and abetted by a studio audience which seems ready to respond to anything, whether unfunny or not.History shows that most remakes, updates or reworkings of much-loved comedies seldom work (remember Paul Merton performing Hancock, or IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, a modern update of TILL DEATH US DO PART). STILL OPEN ALL HOURS sadly underlines the truth of this statement.
