Review of Dad's Army - The Movie DVD by sunmeilan

Advantages: Subtle humour, great addition to the series
Disadvantages: Perhaps would have been better as three episodes rather than a film

...will not have heard of Dad's Army. It lasted for nine series and, although made back in the nineteen sixties/seventies, there are frequently repeats shown on the television. However, what I am reviewing today is a film that was based on the series and was made at the height of the show's popularity in 1971. It was popular at the time to make films based on sitcoms, rather like the seasonal specials of favourite sitcoms today. Perhaps much of the ...
...too much. The humour in Dad's Army is generally different - it is very subtle and of a type that catches you unawares. A good example from this film is a scene of the German Army planning their side of the battle in a very organised and high tech way, when a very important message comes in from the Fuhrer. It then cuts to Mainwaring, planning manoevres very haphazardly with the most primitive of weapons, when a message comes in from his wife to ask ... Read review

Review of Dad's Army - The Movie DVD by MizzMolko

Advantages: The comedy series that stands the test of time.
Disadvantages: Quite similar to earlier episodes.

...know my true love of Dad's Army. Very few people know that I have about 90% of all of the episodes ever made taped or on tape. I simply love watching the classics such as 'When you've got to go', 'Time on my hands' and 'Sgt - Save my boy!' time after time. Each time as good as the last. So it's no real surprise that I love the film is it? We quickly learn about the pompous, yet endearing, Mr Mainwaring who is the bank manager in Walmington-on-Sea. ...
...his friend and chief Clerk, Wilson, as Sergeant. Local butcher - who is famous for slipping Mainwaring a few sausages in his order from time to time - Jack Jones is then appointed the duties of Lance Corporal. A war veteran, we learn of his battles against 'the fuzzy wuzzys' during the other battles. Other members of the cast include Frazer, the undertaker, Walker, the local wide boy who is sometimes not given enough credit for his intellect, the ... Read review
