Mrs Browns' Boys: D'Movie review

It's not just the jokes that are cheap, the sentimentality is, too.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 28th June 2014

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie - 'flatly indifferent cash-in'

Brendan O'Carroll's Mrs Brown's Boys has reached the big screen spin-off, and may well become as successful as The Inbetweeners Movie - but on this evidence, it doesn't deserve to.

Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 27th June 2014

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie, review: 'anti-funny'

The big-screen outing of Brendan O'Carroll's popular sitcom lacks the charm, warmth and ambition of its source material.

Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 27th June 2014

Review: Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie

For the first hour, raw energy and brazen goodwill holds the rickety construction aloft. But even the series' most ardent fans may find the closing chase sequences absurdly overextended and exhaustingly pointless.

Donald Clarke, The Irish Times, 27th June 2014

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie - 'D'Plorable'

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie feels like a bad ITV sitcom from the early '70s and the only time I actually laughed was during a mawkish courtroom scene.

George Byrne, The Independent (Ireland), 27th June 2014

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie review

Funny accents and falling over are only good for a few cheap laughs. O'Carroll's greatest trick is being able to roll around in the gutter and come out looking squeaky clean, because after all, he's just a little old lady, isn't he?

Stella Papamichael, Radio Times, 27th June 2014

Review - Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie

Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie isn't dreadful. It's not good and it certainly isn't funny, but it's not dreadful.

Luke Owen, Flickering Myth, 27th June 2014

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie will be a D'Light for fans

The critics may sneer but millions of TV viewers can't be wrong. Mrs Brown is comedy gold and the only thing better than half an hour of her on the box is 94 minutes of her on the big screen.

James Ward, The Mirror, 27th June 2014

O'Carroll's Mrs Brown is comedy gold despite critics

O'Carroll's character, now a film star, harks back to pre-intellectual 1970s comedy.

Donald Clark, The Irish Times, 26th June 2014

Why wasn't Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie shown to critics?

The trend for distributors to refuse advanced previews for critics speaks volumes about their attitude to the press - but it's a risky strategy, and doesn't always mean the film is a dud.

Ryan Gibley, The New Statesman, 26th June 2014
