Review of Are You Being Served? The Movie (1977) by Bob V — 02 Sep 2010

I am giving this three stars just because it is Are You Being Served. I have a soft spot for this silly old show, I have to admit. Technically, it probably deserves two. It has a dreadful soundtrack, (really, they should be shot over it), half the jokes have already been used in actual episodes. (I physically cringed when I saw the cliched Arabs coming). However, I did still quite enjoy this and laughed, just because it is these well known and loved characters. Some of it takes place at Grace Brothers, most of it follows the team on holidays to Greece. The story is pathetic, but I can forgive a lot to see Mr Humphries mince around and Mrs Slocombe make comments about her pussy!

I guess you can figure that anyone who seeks this one out probably liked the show and will enjoy it, and those who didn't like the show, can't imagine why they would bother with it to start with. Slight and inoffensive (in an Un PC way!).
