SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

diayag I agree the cast changes, and definitely the loss of the original Aunt Agatha, affect reaction to the series as a whole, but not necessarily individual episodes or seasons. To see characters switch from one role to another unrelated role was a bit disconcerting. The series 3/4 Gussie was a bookie in series 1; the original Marilyn Bassett becomes Florence Cray in 3/4. It was a monumental task, however, to put all 50 stories into one shorter body of work and this does the job well. I agree somewhat, about the accents: Janan Kubba's New York accent was delightful if odd. The mistake in most Brit productions is they don't hear a difference between Americans and Canadians. Some actors were Canadians and hence (apparently) sounded American to the BBC. I can tell the difference between a Northern dialect, Londoner and Welshman but was stunned tonight (for instance) watching a BBC production ("Carrie's War"), in which an "American airman" was identified as being from Pennsylvania (where I live) and having a southern drawl. Maybe we are picky; maybe we are more conscious because we watch more Britcoms than the average American. And maybe the majority of Englishman wouldn't notice that "aboot" is not something you'd hear south of the Canadian border. These are minor. The later episodes ARE more ridiculous and goofy, but I watch them on a regular basis. Laughter is precious; this is a clean, non-demeaning, and very pleasant escape that even the young members of the household can enjoy. How rare is that?

Andrei Pavlov In case with "The Thin Blue Line" the spoiler was in the form of background giggles, while in case with this serial the spoiler is the characters' switch. The short sight of those English persons, who created these TV classics is amazing. They could make everything else perfect but fell flat upon the even ground. It's so sad, that there are tears in our eyes. They make a cast change even for aunt Agatha. What a piece of nonsense. Couldn't the producers keep the cast unchanged during the production? After all, it's been only 23 parts, not 200+ parts like in dumb "housewife serials".It's a raw deal with the classics. If the crew changes were due to finance only - shame upon us all. We have funds to push the rockets to Mars and to fund up "The Matrix Revolutions", but we could not make "Jeeves and Wooster" without changes in casting. Hamlet would say in this situation: "Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villains!" Very disappointed, but nevertheless, shall give this extraordinary movie 8 out of 10. Thank you for attention.

Mattias Petersson I'm not familiar with the P.G. Wodehouse work that was the basis for this series. Sometimes though, not being familiar with the written material can help you enjoy the TV-series or movie better. I'm not certain if it helps here but i did in fact find this very entertaining.I remember watching this series every Saturday on TV for quite a long time. And my view on both Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry is still marked by this. Both are in my opinion perfect in their parts. Laurie with his rather silly and foppish British looks, his accent and his voice. And of course Stephen Fry who looks every bit the aristocratic manservant.The stories presented are usually both silly and with little reference to reality. But they are entertaining nevertheless, and why watch something like this if not to be entertained? The silly aristocrat and his wise servant is a classic theme, and rarely is it done better than here.

BrianH-6 My father introduced me to the Jeeves stories and I fell in love with them. Adaptation can be a tricky affair but this series is done superbly. Hugh Laurie portrayed Bertie just as I pictured the character. I always thought of Jeeves as being older but Stephen Fry portrayal of Jeeves dispelled that notion. The other characters are done well especially Bingo and Aunt Agatha. If you've read the stories a couple of them are usually combined into one episode. Having great material to start with and maintaining that standard is tough but this series does it brilliantly. So if you enjoy Wodehouse or enjoy good farce I highly recommend this series.
