krhysd "Based on a true story." Understanding this is key to fully appreciating the joy, soul and craftsmanship that went into creating this gem.The film works as a stand alone piece in itself - the teenagers I watched it with gave it an average rating of 7.5 - covering the full spectrum of types of comedy from slapstick to satire.Being of a similar age to Harry, I was exposed to the same kind of visual entertainment as a child in 70's Britain. So, in addition to the wonderfully surreal world that this genius envelopes himself in, I was able to cherish the the way he weaved in references drawn from a wide range of cultural tropes such as the Children's Film Foundation, American cartoons, black and white adventure films shown on afternoon t.v., The Goodies, pantomime, and public information films amongst others.Overall, a fantastical masterpiece richly deserving the honour bestowed on him by the University of Kent.

Jacob Lettice I decided to watch this movie, purely because I love the town of Blackpool and the sights that it offers. Little did I know that this movie was possibly the worst movie I've seen. The genre of this movie... 'comedy' is a complete lie, it was not even funny, and the jokes were either cheesy or didn't make any sense what-so-ever. Its an insult to the town of Blackpool. It may be funny for extremely young kids who wouldn't understand the jokes anyway, laughing at any old thing. Don't watch this movie, waste of valuable time. The normal Harry Hill's TV Burp is better and is funny in some cases, although only hints are shown in the movie, which was disappointing... Harry Hill is very lively in the movie, and very gormless, this did put a smirk on my face at one point. If you like humour which is weird/unrealistic, this movie is for you! P.S Penis

pmedinacorreo Excellent laugh. Why watch and rate this movie if you don't like "traditional" British non-sense surreal humor, which is genius just for its mere existence...: trying to set conventional logic and thinking on fire with the kind of best ever "freeforming" humor you would share with some friends after some drinks, creating ridiculous situations and characters.The people that made this movie, obviously, sincerely like and do want to entertain people, not indulge themselves achieving any high score on any commercially safe and traditional kind of humor. What here also should be mentioned is that the photography, cgi, mastering is of astonishing, much superior than expected level for a comedy-slash-musical- jokes&puppets-movie, which shows again the sovereignty that British filmmakers and broadcasters can flip out of their pocket without even taking it to serious themselves. I cant believe i nearly missed the laugh due to the ratings here, which from now on i surely wont take anymore as an orientation.

beckylewis5 I only decided to comment after seeing someone compare it favorably with Norman Wisdom films! Norman was a comedy genius, outstanding in his time who outsold Bond films. Unfortunately, this messy little comedy is nowhere near that league. Aimed at a dumbed down audience, it grinds along like a stalled car being pushed. Frankly am amazed so many good actors chose to be in this, unless they felt HH might be flavor of the month due to his TV ratings. However, when reading the lines as though they were on a page, it beggars belief they signed up at all! What a fall. It's just daft, and in some places a bit crude. I got the feeling little to no thought went into the plot or story-line, and they hoped the actors presence alone could pull it off. Unfortunately, it falls flat. Very amateurish all around. The actors seem half asleep and the director could well be a chimpanzee! One of those, we hope the TV ratings mean this rubbish will sell, one-off jobs to make a quick buck. What a load of rubbish!
