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 2024

Mrs. Brown's Boys review

Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 25th December 2024

Mrs. Brown's Boys review

Heart-warming is the intention, heartburn is the outcome.

Gabriel Tate, The Telegraph, 25th December 2024
