Could have been a great format for comedy. Except its not in any way funny. Some of the beat characters from other shows but boringly inept here. The stand up is cringe-worthy and the reality-TV clips don't offer anything either. Waste of a good concept. Avoid if you like genuine humour. Such a shame as it could have been great but just didn't offer anything new or funny.

If you like good comedy it's probably better to watch stand up from performers that you know instead of watching this tripe. It swings from annoying to painful in equal measures.

A painful watch and with so much available these days, it's easy to find something more entertaining. Not interesting at all unfortunately.

A thoroughly entertaining and original movie flick. With clear undertones of the seminal 1973 classic, The Wicker Man, it seamlessly imbibes elements of drama, horror, macabre, thriller and even a bit of comedy. Not many films are produced that are both captivating and visually impressive, but Midsommar achieves this, almost flawlessly. Five friends in a normal enough set-up that soon descend into madness during a 9-day festival in Sweden. This could have been a complete cheese-fest but with outstanding acting throughout and a narrative that held the attention despite the film's possibly overly long run time, this was an undoubted success. With biblical imagery, a twisted, yet plausible, storyline and plenty of memorable but diverse-dimensional scenes to keep the viewer engrossed, this is one of those films that will stay long in the memory. Could easily have been ten out of ten but given a nine as accepted, it won't be everyone's cup of tea. But that alone does not mean it's not an amazing piece of cinema.
