The Nan Movie

I always thought the Katherine Tate show was pretty funny and hoped this might have a good funny script, sadly this came up very short.

There are a few laughs asking the way but most of it is cringe worthy and extremely cliche.

I didn't come into this with many expectations, but thought it might be a bit of a daft laugh. It pretty much wasn't. Having read the trivia re the re-cutting of the film it starts to make sense how someone of the stature of the great Katherine Parkinson allowed herself to be in such tosh. This is puerile rubbish. Honestly, don't waste your time.

I will start by saying that this movie is, probably, about 10 years too late. Had this been made early '10's, I can imagine a better response. The jokes are outdated and we've heard them all before. The 'present' scenes are predictable though I found the ending to be really good.

The 'past' scenes I thought were amazing, and my four stars are for them. The movie would have been better going down the route of Nan telling Jamie about the past without a road trip, then ending with the meeting. Catherine and Katherine did a good job in those scenes.

The worst part was, by far, the out of place and ridiculous animation that bought nothing to the movie.

So, would I recommend the film?

Sober - No.

After a few drinks - Sure.

Go in with low expectations and I think you'll enjoy the movie due to the flashbacks.

This was always going to be rubbish. I can't believe they got this film funded.

I'd rather watch paint dry than ever see this again, and I truly mean that.

Typical Catherine Tate cheesy,some good parts but didn't do it for me.

Wouldn't rush to watch anything else with Catherine Tate it.

Acting poor by two main characters.
