I'm guessing the film, as from what i've heard, it's actually pretty funny.

Here's the trailer, just don't watch it at work, or when the kiddies are around...

Thanks for the clip

I would love this to be good. It's the funniest show on TV for years imo.

Somehow, when they turn a good TV show into a movie it either comes across as forced and like they are trying too hard, or it's something that would have been a great 30 minute episode but is stretched out to an hour and a half. (Lookin at you Mr Bean).

The best way to approach it would be the way they did with Family Guy - essentially stitch three would-be standalone (but thematically linked) episodes together to make one 90 minute film.

Yeah.. That would work. We must be due for some show to survive intact.

Unfortunately, the movie wasn't very good. The trailer was all the best bits.

It's like when Liverpool finish 8th in the league. You knew what was going to happen at the start of the season but you still held on to the hope that they would finish 1st again

It's okay. Some dull parts, some very funny parts, some gross-out parts, mostly fairly predictable. If you've got nothing else to do, watch it.

Dont worry, even though, (like all film adaptations of good TV shows) it was not very good, it made millions, so a second film has to be sadly, on the cards.

FWIW, whilst I haven't seen the film. The people I know who were fans of the TV show loved it.

Not a popular view, I'm sure, but while I loved the first series I got quite bored with it after that. They just seemed to recycle the same gags again and again - I was quite disappointed.
