Mrs. Brown's Boys review
Unkillable comedy comes up with a metaphor so perfect it deserves a gold star.
Ed Power, The Irish Times, 25th December 2024Mrs. Brown's Boys review
Here we are again with the same old formula, the same old characters and the familiar complete and total absence of wit.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 25th December 2024Mrs. Brown's Boys review
Heart-warming is the intention, heartburn is the outcome.
Gabriel Tate, The Telegraph, 25th December 2024
