Review of Are You Being Served? The Movie (1977) by Toby J — 17 Aug 2007

If you like the TV series then you should probably like this film as well, mainly because all it is is an extended episode of the famous Brit Com. When Grace Brothers is shut down for maintence, the entire staff gets shipped off on vacation to a country undergoing a communist revolution.

Misundertandings, sight gags and sexual innuendo are what follows. Solid performances by this wonderful ensemble cast, with special kudos going to John Inman as Mr. Humpheries whose more outragious and hilarious then usual, and Trevor Bannister as Mr.

Lucas who is always dead on with his quick wit. Mr. Grainger is also particularily funny in this one, although I normally don't find him funny in the series. A good rainy afternoon film, but don't expect too much from it.

Only recommended to fans of the series. Bottom line - not brilliant, but a lot of fun.
