Well Deserved Praise
Colibel
Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Delight
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Sure, I would probably not have watched it if it hadn't been for Philip Glenister. But I found it to be solid, warm hearted entertainment. They could well have went over the top with stereotypes and culture clash, but managed not to most of the time. Though sometimes forseeable it offers some nice twists and turns and most of all a great cast. I'm really looking forward to the second season.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Made a very pleasant change from the usual, sex, violence and bad language programs that are on TV. The bad reviewers obviously don't get British humour.

If you enjoy British comedy or just good fun tv shows, this is one of them. I watched Living the Dream in one sitting as I enjoyed it so much. There's no swearing or smut, just good clean fun. My Mum loved it as did everyone who saw it after me. Only someone who has no sense of humour or who doesn't understand British comedy would rate this low. I gave it 10 out of 10.

We all have dreams of upping sticks and moving to Florida to take over a rundown ram shackled trailer park right? Of course we have and that is the plot for Sky Ones dreadfully unfunny new series Living The Dream. I can only hope that Philip Glenister and Lesley Sharpe were well paid as I can think of no other reason two of the countries finest acting talents would be involved in something so bad. Whilst the production quality is high the same can not be said of the script which just goes from insulting one American stereotype to another. From red neck American trailer trash to rich white god faring Christians no one is safe from a cheap insult. The half baked stories go from stupid to utterly ridiculous one can only hope this series is missed by our American friends, as it could do more damage to Anglo American relations since we burnt the White House down in 1812.
