Overrated

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I watched this on TV tonight, remembering with vague fondness its original outing in 2003. It was a delight, with an excellent script supported by a first rate cast. Not subtle, but warm, clean and really rather innocent fun. All Whilst the strongest elements were the combative relationship between Brian Murphy and Neil Pearson the sub stories with Ben Wishaw and Martin Clunes was also strong. Meanwhile back at home the wives (Claire Skinner and Anne Reid) were also enjoying themselves. Some predictable turns but all done with such charm that the 2 hours flew by. A real treat.

A gentle pleasing comedy,very much of it's era. Excellent Mr B.Murphy is a stroppy Europhobe OAP who with his neighbours goes to Boulogne for that topical subject in 2003,a booze cruise. Except for the lovely Mr M.Benton,all the men involved return to a very different world from the one the had left a few hours previously. Mr Clunes' business has collapsed and his daughter's wedding gone phffft Mr Pearson's beloved West Ham shed had been crushed by Mr Murphy's chainsaw - welding wife(the lovely Miss A.Reid in cahoots with Pearson's own wife after a few bottles of wine,and young Master Wishaw' - Mr Clunes' prospective son - in - law has fallen for the charms of French cyclist . Oh,and the trailer containing the spoils of their trip has caught fire. Those who voted "Bremain" may well watch this with a glow of misty - eyed nostalgia,whilst "Brexiters" will cheer on Mr Murphy's anti - French rant which ends up getting them all arrested.You can't win,Brian old son.

What a delightful surprise. I hadn't thought I would watch this, expecting another example of of bad behaviour, foul language and drunkeness. But nothing of the sort. Instead an excellent drama, full of comedy that made me laugh out loud (and that doesn't often happen these days). Brilliant. 10 out of 10. We need more dramas like this. It was well written with great acting and good direction and editing. The fun was original and kept me riveted, wondering what was going to happen next. The upsets were not driven into pathos and left you feeling that all's well that ends well. More like this please (and an early repeat showing too).

Really enjoyed 'the booze cruise' - it was well written, well directed, well cast and the music really worked. I loved the fact that we got the split between the guys on their quest and their family and loved ones back home. There was humor, pathos, fun and some wonderful characters - well done all involved!
