Why so much hype?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie but grossly overrated

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I've watched Two Pints for years and it still cheers me up after a bad day. Yes it's far from perfect (no twenty-something year old living today would say the cultural references that are often heard on the show and the sexual references do occasionally verge on disgusting), but it's not without its charm and the cast do have some good comic timing. It was also a good breakout role for Sheridan Smith, who has since moved on to bigger and better things. I would recommend you only watch series 1-6 as the show's later series (with the exception of some series 7 episodes) were pretty bad.If you're bored and fancy a silly laugh, you can do worse.

Honestly, how can this get an average rating of 7.+? The jokes are tripe. I have written better material and I have bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The banter you hear in pubs is 10 times funnier than this pap. Every episode is the same. Same plot over and over again. "Gaz, will you have sex with me?" , "yeah, but not up the pooper" (Massive laugh from audience)......that's it, honestly, that's it. Poor....... This show gets shown on BBCThree, day in day out. It feels as though it's on 24 hrs a day. You only have to see one show to know how the rest of the series pans out. "gaz, blah, blah, blah." (insert some terrible double entendre reply). Do yourself a favour and actually go to the pub for a couple of pints and a packet of crisps.

. . . you time your evening shower so that you are putting your pyjamas on when it starts on TV. And I do this with Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.As some people have pointed out, bits of it are pretty crude (this is no Keeping Up Appearances) but then, when the central characters are all twenty-something, I'd be surprised if it wasn't.Some of the situations are slightly mad and you have to suspend your disbelief, like Janet talking to the unborn baby via the hoover, as I recall - the said baby actually has some wonderful close-up shots. Obviously we'll never be able to get babies to act, but the expressions on the face of this little thing are priceless. It looks like he thinks being named Corinthian McVitie Keogh is the very least of his problems.On the other hand, other situations are almost plausible. The occasion of Louise getting a job where she can access anyone's personal information is like a little goldmine - I'm sure she didn't mean for it to turn out as it did, but wouldn't anyone in that position be even a little bit tempted to find out more about their friends and associates? I think I'd find it difficult to resist.What gives Two Pints of Lager all the more credit is that the characters are human. As a twenty-something, I'll freely admit to being drawn to childish things when I need comfort, and I think of Johnny and his addiction to Jammie Dodgers as an example. It's not trying to be intellectual, it's not obviously judgemental, it's just showing the lives of young people in an average lifestyle.The more I watch it, the more I want to watch it.

I wanted to put my summary in block capitals but the makers of the website wouldn't allow me to!I seriously feel sorry for the talented Ralph little, Sheridan Smith and Katherine Drysdale for getting involved in this! Will Mellor and Natalie Casey are no different to when they appeared in Hollyoaks, they are still completely wooden. The 'jokes' are totally humourless and the sense of comic timing from the cast especially from Casey and Mellor is completely non-existent! The directing is dire (that probably didn't help the timing but for some of the cast they still wouldn't have the timing anyway even if the directing was perfect! If you suffer with insomnia you couldn't do much better than to use this as an aid to getting to sleep. it will have you doing that within minutes and by that I mean the first five to ten!I wish I could have given this rubbish a rating of 0/10!
