    Ok but a bit of a let down

    What happened to the flirty Joyce from the book?! Celia Imrie is a brilliant casting for Joyce (as were nearly all the main characters - jury is still out on Pierce Brosnan as Ron), but it all felt a bit lost in translation to screen. The character of Bogdan was far away from the man written in the books, as was Donna. The film was still watchable and entertaining enough, however I think lovers of the book series will feel disappointed that the film failed to capture the same spark that Richard Osman wrote.

    Brilliant film! Loved every minutes

    I haven't read the books which I glad about as I went into this blind. Sometimes I film that if you read the books you can't watch the film for what it is !

    But a film with Helen , pierce , sir Ben and others can't be bad!

    It's capture everything English and a retirement I want to be in when I am older!

    Should have been a series

    A very uneven adaptation of a remarkable book. The first act seems to be moving too slowly to complete the story in two hours, but the ending is rushed and clunky. There are, of course, large portions of the book missing, which unfortunately makes the motives of the perpetrators seem weak. Some of the casting just didn't work at all, accents all over the place. If there had been more time to do the book justice, and more thought put into the casting, this could have been a standout series. As it is it's a mediocre film. Disappointed.

    Disappointing

    I have to be honest, I was expecting something much closer in content to the book, and the changes were not, in my opinion, for the better. That said, it was acted well, with the exception of Pierce Brosnan's 'cockney' accent. (It was all over the place!) If there is to be a sequel (and I hope there is), I look forward to the characters being developed as they are in the books. Bogdan included!

    Wish it had been a series

    Enjoyable, but this film leaves too little time to get to know the characters. A series with one season per book would have been fabulous. I am in doubt whether Pierce Brosnan was a good casting for Ron, but Mirren, Kingsley and Imrie were spot on. The result is watchable, but I highly recommend you to read the books, they are splendid.
