Instant Favorite.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Is Karl Pilkington a great actor or is he really the fool portrayed in the TV shows, 'An Idiot Abroad' and 'The Moaning of Life'? The question has been asked many times and, sad to say, the answer is that it is not an act. Ricky Gervais has explained on several occasions that Karl is, "just being himself". If you take a look at Karl's interviews, these confirm the case; same accent, same opinions, same Karl. He is uneducated and ill-informed (he has no tertiary education at all and didn't succeed as a student, even at secondary school). Though occasional displays of opinionated ignorance and stunning stupidity may be amusing for a while, they become tedious and lose their entertainment value very quickly. After all, we are laughing at Karl, not with him. Karl's success is due mainly to the fact that he enables very stupid people to feel comfortable in their ignorance and the marginally less stupid to feel superior.

One of the best shows I've seen. Karl is interesting, insightful, funny and witty. He is the kind of guy I would like to have a beer with and shoot the Sh#t. Keep up the good work. Not sure what else can be said about the show, other than I like it and now I can't post this until I come up with ten lines minimum that I must fill with meaningless words. Anyhow I like the show and can't really say too much more. My hand is getting tired of typing because I have arthritis in one hand from too much use over the years. I did buy one of Karl's books, this was entitled "To Slap a Jelly Fish", Karl put to pen his many very funny thoughts. The book was mainly about his childhood and the places he visited.

It was funny when Ricky made him go do stuff on his own, and then when he went around the world with Warwick Davis it was just sad. Now Karl is back out on his own, but this time he is on a search for life's meanings. Karl is so honest, and uncensored, that you can only love him. If you enjoyed either of the first two shows, then this will be your fav. If you have never seen one of Karl's adventures, or even seen him with Ricky Gervais, then you need to treat yourself, and check out The Moaning of life. This is Karl actually trying, and it makes such a difference, seeing Karl actually care because these were plans that he has been allowed to be involved in. You will laugh, and cry, and titter like a Geisha. If you want to know what to watch, then the answer is very clear, there are only four episodes, and you will be rewarded in each.

This show is even better than Karl's last one. The insights are wonderful to watch as they unfold - evolve - grow. I loved his last series (An Idiot Abroad), with all the comedy. Karl has grown out of his distaste of all things foreign, not quite embraced those cultural differences, yet shows his courage to not only seek to understand the culture, explore the differences - more than that, through his experience - he attempts to apply his brand of practical culture in order to better understand those cultures around him. We all do it - but in his not so eloquent style, he helps us all work our way through it as he shows us how it could be done.What this series does is take it to the next level, to give it that philosophical advantage, without missing the whole point - life and all the things we do are weird, wonderful, and most of all (most of the time) - funny. Great job and I expect it will continue with great success. Kudos.
