Welcome to my first Review. This will be a review on the latest British film based off the Hit British sitcom Mrs. Brown's Boys. So is this movie a D'Light or a D'lsaster. Lets find out.OK first off I need to say why did this show need a movie. I would have chosen loads of other shows that should have gotten a movie before this show. Now let me just say that I really like the TV Series. It can be funny and I feel its very underrated. But I still didn't want a movie made of it because most of the time movies based off of TV Shows are awful (COUGH Last Airbender COUGH). So as you can tell I didn't have high hopes for this movie and they didn't get any higher after seeing it have a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes so I was expecting it to be bad. But was it bad or was I surprised (Spoiler Alert I wasn't) Well lets finally start the review.The story is about a street market which Mrs Brown is apart of getting taken down by SIGH Russian Businessmen. Seriously was that the best they could do. Have the villains be Russian. Anyways to take down Mrs Brown's stall they give her an unpaid tax payment that her grandmother didn't pay although she did and they have to find a receipt to prove that she did pay it. Oh and their are some Blind Ninjas but I'll get to that later. OK this story is stupid. I already mentioned how its stupid that the villains are Russian but how about the fact that this whole street market thing was never mentioned in the show. This is really dumb when at one point when they try and have a touching moment when Mrs Brown says that the women always took over the stall which her daughter isn't doing it just doesn't make sense because this is the first we've ever heard of this. Oh and there's also this sub plot of how Mrs Brown actually put her children into care which really doesn't need to be there and just seems like filler.Actually that's another thing that sucks. This movie has several filler moments that you could take out and they wouldn't affect the plot at all. You've got a scene with Grandad and characters that we don't know (I'll get back to that) which ends with a car blowing up. What was the point of that scene. NOTHING.About the Characters we don't know. We see several people at the street market we don't know because they've never appeared before so why should we care about them. Oh and speaking about characters in this film they're is one character I can't pass up talking about. Mr Wang. He is a character played by the same person who plays Mrs Brown (Did I forget to mention Mrs Brown is played by a man. Cause that's kinda important) and HE, IS SO, RACIST. He's a Chinese character with such a terrible accent I wouldn't be surprised if this film never gets shown in China and did I mention HE'S GETTING HIS OWN MOVIE! Then there are some blind Ninjas which is incredibly insulting to blind people as it features them getting hurt and walking around as if they don't know where they are. Seriously the blind may not be able to watch this but that's not an excuse to make fun of them. Toph would not be happy.OK now the big part. Is this film funny. Ehhh No. I mean I laughed a few times. But then there are some jokes that aren't funny like the previously mentioned Blind Ninjas and Mr Wang. But theirs also a joke about a clearly Indian looking character being called Jamaican (That's a running gag by the way.) They also incorporate the bloopers from the show into the film but it just doesn't work. See with the show it makes sense because its basically a stage show and its filmed live so if theirs a mistake it gets left in the show. It doesn't work here because its not filmed in front of anyone so when they just randomly stop to laugh it just seems like their wasting time and the fact they show real outtakes at the end just shows that their messing up on purpose. But none of this comes close to one distasteful joke about an old woman getting run over. That's it. That's the joke. Your suppose to laugh at an elderly woman who is deaf getting run over and then showing her funeral. WHERE THEY CRACK JOKES!!! If I was watching this on my own I properly would have walked out at that point. It was that bad.So want did I think of this film. Well it was horrendous. A stupid story, Annoying Filler and Incredibly insulting jokes. I went in with low expectations but this happened to be worse than I could have ever imagined. It was some how just as bad as The Last Airbender was. Maybe even worse and the fact its getting 2 spin offs with one of them starring the embarrassingly Racist Mr Wang. You can bet that I will not be watching them. I won't even watch a sequel if it comes out.Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie gets a 1 out of 10.

Review: I know that I'll be the only person saying this, but I didn't really find this movie that funny. I found the jokes quite silly and the storyline wasn't that great. I must admit, it's the only movie that I have seen that keeps a couple of the bloopers in the final cut, which were the funniest scenes, but I failed to get the humour. The courtroom scenes were ridiculous, until the lawyer gets turrets, but apart from that, there wasn't anything that amazing happening. If your fans of the show, you will enjoy this film, but I haven't seen the series before so I wasn't that impressed. Disappointing!Round-Up: Right from the beginning, when I saw the dancing scenes, I was a bit dubious about this film. The jokes come thick and fast, but you have to be into this type of humour to find it funny. When the Russian gangsters get introduced, it just goes from bad to worse, but judging by the movies takings, I must be the only person that didn't think that this film wasn't that great. On the plus side, it does put some parts of Dublin on the map and I'm sure that Moore Street market will get a lot of tourists. Personally, I was more interested in the outtakes than the movie itself.Budget: $3.6million Worldwide Gross: $29millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there Irish comedies about Mrs. Brown who is pressured by Russian gangsters to sell her stall so the developers can claim the land. 2/10

Ironically, I was in London the week before this movie came out and was very excited to see public transport with posters promoting the movie. Returning to sunny South Africa, I waited in anticipation for the release of the title here. All I can say is "Frek off" to the producers and director of this piece of drivel. The show lacked punch, the story line was weak and the acting looked forced. As if they needed material just to "fill in" the movie. In all honesty, it was a waste of time...I fell asleep halfway through the show and finally just walked out 30 minutes before the end. Stick to the 30 minute explosive comedy episodes...

I have enjoyed the TV Show & live DVD's so I am not reviewing this as a hater of the Mrs. Brown's Boys Franchise. I didn't see it in the cinema but just bought the DVD to satisfy my curiosity. What I witnessed was one of the worse attempts at a movie I have ever seen. It is unfunny & an attempt at a plot to carry this for an hour and a half is invisible. Even the reusing of old jokes which has been Brendan O'Carrolls trademark for years couldn't lift this off the bottom of the septic tank it sits in. Brendan himself is very sharp & very funny as a comedian & in a live situation is hilarious. But he obviously wrote down all the jokes he heard in school & dusts them off oh too often. Only his sister Eilish who plays Winnie can claim she put in a decent shift in this. Delivery of the weak punchlines was slow & poor throughout & mistaking a Pakistani man for a Jamaican might be slightly funny the first time. Blind Ninjas & O'Carrolls attempt at what I assume was a Chinese man were embarrassing. We pretended to be Chinamen in school Brendan... snap out of it! Brendan O'Carroll has taken this recycling thing too far & whoever said in the trailer that 'it's the funniest film this year' was either well paid or has only seen one film this year! Avoid the movie but watch the live show.
