Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

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

darth_timon I have only one complaint about this show - they don't make enough of them! Each and every episode has been a comedic tour de force, with everyone in the show - every member of the cast - being so straight-faced that, if the lines were not utter farce, you'd think you were watching a genuine drama.The brilliant John Hannah gives us a demonstration of his versatility. From his role as Batiatius in Spartacus, he now gives us the 'Cracker' type character, only with a script of pure hilarity, almost from the word go. In every scene there are also subtle little bits and pieces - signs, pictures and props - that only serve to lend to the surreal, silly goings-on behind the hard exteriors of the characters.It's one of the best spoof shows I've seen in a long time, and please, please, can they offer up more?

winstonfg American and British humour are very different, and it takes a very funny show or film indeed to make it across the Atlantic (in either direction, I suspect); and there was a rash of similar ones back in the eighties and early nineties - including 'Naked Gun', 'Airplane' and 'Hot Shots!' - that made it eastwards.Episode 1 of this show seemed a bit like a Brit try at one (or all) of the above and, while a bit scatter-gun for my liking, was quite amusing; but not really "British".Episode 2 seems to have calmed down a bit, and is none the worse off for it. Perhaps it takes a show like this a little while to find its comedy 'beat' (as it did BlackAdder), and I hope that, now that it has done, it's given the chance to prove that it works - or not.On the evidence that I see, Episode 2 was a lot better than Episode 1, because it relied more on words and acting, and less on sight gags. And I have to say I was glad to see the last of PC Cardboard Cutout (I hope). Good sight gag; but not worth repeating. And to be honest, if it settles down even more in the next series, I don't think I'll mind at all - but please guys, keep DC Asap Qureshi and the doff of the head every time Oldman says "the boys down the station".It probably doesn't hurt that I'm a big fan of both stars - John Hannah and sexy Suranne Jones (I'm so glad we Brits can still produce top-class crumpet who don't look like Barbie dolls) - especially as both are known for their intensity rather than their comedy skills.So far, what I see is a funny, quirky show that seems to be getting better. Looking forward to the next series.

aaroninacave Being a fan of Police Squad I have to say that I found much of this show cringe worthy as it essentially tried (and failed) to remake a classic.Some of the jokes were funny and some were not, some of the visuals were funny and some were not but one thing they all had in common is that I'd seen and heard them all before… This show would have been very funny had it been original but if you really want to watch such comedy then watch Police Squad… or Sledge Hammer for that matter.is this 10 lines yet IMDb?

ianrevue Unlike radeburger2000 I am actually going to criticise this show, not rant about how bad it is without explaining why. He says he can't write a good, funny movie; he can't write a good, insightful review either.First of all A Touch of Cloth was not 10/10, as other reviewers have said, nor was it 1/10. It was a mix of some superb jokes, some good ones, and some duds. When you watch it remember, do not take it seriously. I found it did such a good job of LOOKING like a cop drama a part of me was trying to take it seriously, forgetting that this was just supposed to be silly and fun no matter how serious it was trying to seem.I would say the pacing of the jokes was too quick at some points, barely giving one a chance to process one joke before another comes. Also the number of visual gags, some of which you might miss first time, are numerous. You CAN have too much of a good thing but overall I found the jokes more satisfying than not.I wouldn't say it felt as natural as films like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Naked gun, which it shares similarities with, sometimes appearing a bit smug in its knowledge of the subject it was parodying.BUT as I said, overall I found it satisfying with more jokes hitting than not. The actors did a good job and like I said, it looks like a very convincing cop drama. I just hope they don't overload the next reported episodes and give the jokes a chance to breath
