Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

In "Phoenix Nights" the comic genius that is Peter Kay has created a Modern Classic.This is probably the best British comedy of recent years,whilst "The Office" is excellent i think "Phoenix Knights" just edges it.If i could rate each episode,every one except maybe the first episode and last episode of Series 1 & 2 respectivly would get 10/10,it really is that funny. Each episode has least half a dozen proper laughs and some great one liners.My favourites including Max the bouncer commentating "How far away are they?" upon seeing Dwarf Football fans exiting their coach or resident DJ Ray Vons "Lets here it for Albert,Albert is a registered Diabetic"British Comedy at its very best. 10/10

Peter Kay's 'Phoenix Nights' is simply the funniest British sitcom for years. The setting is cliched, but its so full of bleak comic invention, every scene bursts with sight and word gags mercifully unflagged by studio laughter. The underlying sense that there is no salvation for any of these characters adds a poignant edge to the hysteria, and Peter's Kay's Brian Potter is brilliantly foiled by Dave Spikey's Jerry, a man almost (but not quite) intelligent enough to realise he'd be better off somewhere else. A real gem, utterly silly but very true to life.

This is what comedy, and for that matter films, are all about. The characters are deep, real and extremely funny. The beauty is that these are all people we know. At times you may not notice, but Peter Kaye plays several of the characters. My personal favourite is fire officer Keith Lard who interferes with dogs in the worst possible way and has no connection whatsoever with Keith Laird of Bolton Fire Service. Max and Paddy probably take the prize of the regular crew. One of the great things about this series is that every time you watch it, you spot something else that's funny and make sure you listen to the music that's playing. The good news is that series 2 is now out and Max and Paddy will return in their own programme at some point.

I like Phoenix Nights as i heard about it and watched it in 2001, so far i think there are 3 series or i might be wrong, the first was a fantastic series and then the second series was just as good. I think Peter Kay is a great comedian
