Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I am extremely disappointed with the new series of Benidorm. I have enjoyed watching earlier series as the characters were engaging and funny. As the series progressed the comedy got better and the characters story's became very watchable. This trend has completely disappeared with series 8-10. Some of the characters are still enjoyable and funny to watch especially the ever funny Mateo and the lovable Liam. For starters Lesley has got nothing left to give and I feel extremely sorry for Tim Healey who has played the part so well up until now, it seems to me that writers just have nothing new left to give him. Kenneth has just become a laughable joke it is the same thing over and over again. The main family the Dawson's just aren't funny and never have been since they were put in to replace the oh so funny Garveys (they should never have left) the Dad and grandad have just become letchs over their sons girlfriend who was underused. The constant letch fest over the first half of the series is ridiculous, I especially couldn't stand the awful Loretta who is just so unfunny I turn away every time she's on screen as the rubbish that comes out of her mouth is unbearable. The rubbish that she utters is mind numbing and the characterisation is awful. The absolutely ridiculous Pauline is back yet again pissed every time she's on screen which just makes her unwatchable, she has nothing new to give. Monty and Temple Savages relationship is just utter boredom, same jokes every week and nothing new to give. Boring dialogue, unfunny jokes, overused sexual innuendos and over acting and under acting of the worst kind have absolutely ruined what was a very good series for 7 years. Well done to the Benidorm writers for absolute killing the series dead. I will not be tuning in again !!

I was really waiting for the DVD to come out, as a big fan of Derren Litten, brilliant actor seen on "The Catherine Tate Show" and who wrote the entire "Benidorm" series (without even getting himself a small part in it !). Well, what a disappointment ! Instead of the sarcastic and subtle humor (though the premises were ideal in that matter) that I was expecting, all I saw was poor & terribly vulgar situations (beyond words AND laughs), ill-directed actors, almost total absence of wit and intelligence. The only nice thing was to see Chrissy Rock again (from Ken Loach's "Ladybird") as the karaoke presenter. Apart from that, nothing. Total vacuum.

At last a sitcom that you can just sit and laugh at. Benidorm has some great features. It does not try to be clever. It is not political and certainly not politically correct. It is not sexist, by which I mean it does not make the male characters out to be more stupid, feckless, or inept than the females. Most of the characters are grotesque to some degree, and yet all are likable and are played by excellent actors. Good comedy is not easy to do - re the depressing list of hopeless sitcoms scattered across TV history.I could go on but there is no need to analyse Benidorm. The only thing that you really need to know is that it is very FUNNY.PS The second series is turning out to be equally good.

I am really pleased that this programme has been created. The comedy is based on a bunch of holiday makers in the same hotel in Benidorm, the show follows them with their goings on during their holiday, which in some cases leads to trouble. What I like about the show is that it is not completely based on a few main characters, there are quite a few characters that star in the show, and I really like the casting of Jonny Vegas 'the oracle' who provides much laughter along with the other characters. This is a comedy which in my opinion suit those audiences who enjoy seeing characters making fools of themselves as you might find on a real holiday. I however think that the show could be improved in the fact that it spreads only as far as the hotel area for the entire show. I would like to see the characters wonder into the town and get into trouble as well as the hotel. However I would definitely recommend this programme as it is a real good laugh.
