Well what a disappointment. We like the series on TV but although it had a weak plot it didn't, for us, transfer to the big screen.

Thanks goodness we didn't actually pay, we had a gift card.

I'd say don't waste your money 4 out of 10

I like it, too! I find it very funny and it doesn't worry me that there is swearing etc. She reminds me of my mother-in-law who wasn't Irish, but walked in a similar way, and always had a tea-towel in her hand. grin

Whilst sobbing with laughter I am saying 'this is disgusting, why I am laughing at it'.

I think the neighbour Winnie is so good and when she and Mrs. Brown are together their dialogue is brilliant. I can just imagine my late grandmother saying some of these things, without the swearing.

Ah! Thanks Nonu. I 'll try again. grin grin grin

As I said we went to the movie because we like the series but it just didn't transfer well to the big screen.

The line I like the best was Winnie saying to Mrs Brown (or words to this effect) "I heard you told people that my Jacko had a wart on his willy"

"No Winnie you're wrong, I said it felt like a wart on his willy" smile

I really enjoyed the film, although a bit silly towards the end, still had plenty of laughs.
