I was a fan of Catherine's Tate's comedy shows from day one and have always loved the Nan character.
I had high hopes for this but so often they are ruined when a series is turned into a film. HOWEVER not so with this.
This is, without doubt the funniest film I've ever seen. It takes a lot to make me laugh, but from the outset I was either smiling or crying with laughter.
I do not understand the negative reviews, it's extremely well acted by all, brilliant storytelling, excellent cinematography, superb direction and script writing that is razor sharp with perfectly timed delivery.
I often see the word "hilarious" being used but then when you see it, it doesn't even raise a smile. This is the very definition of hilarity.
The cinema was three quarters full and literally everyone was laughing out loud throughout.
At the beginning I thought it would die a death half way through or something and stop being funny, but I couldn't have been more wrong and the ending made me reach for the tissues in laughter.
If Catherine or any of the crew read this, THANK YOU for transporting me away from this grim real world, it was a genuine tonic. Also PLEASE do a sequel AND restart the BBC series, it's what we all need!
