bloody good moan. Following the huge success of "Grumpy Old Men" Stuart Prebble writer of the highly acclaimed TV series gives us a more in-depth look at what it's really like to be a pissed-off man of a certain age. In painstaking detail he takes us through a year in the constantly irritated life of a Grumpy Old Man recounting the manifold vexations and absurdities he has to put up with in the perpetual torment that we call modern living. Drinks parties holidays hospital visits his children's misdemeanours buying presents for the wife watching television attempts to visit the gym trips to the shops the trials and tribulations of everyday life - each event has something to tip him over the edge. Stuart's diary proves that grumpiness is not just an occasional mood or a temporary feeling but a way of looking at the world and will strike a chord with all those who are proud to call themselves Grumpy Old Men.

David Quantick has taken a well-deserved holiday. But no matter where you go there is always something to moan about.

David Quantick here explores everything that makes the rest of the world different - and therefore worse - than Britain and lets us know exactly why it is safer to stay at home than to become grumpy old men on holiday.

I saw part of the series of this on TV and when I realised there was a DVD of it I had to buy it!
I'm female and some things I found could be taken in an offensive manner but to be honest I watched it with an open mind and even found myself laughing at things that ridiculed women!
There are 5 episodes on the DVD, each split into different topics as follows: 1. Is this the world we created? - The promised land - Women's lib - Sex - Dress - Estuary English
2. Stuff - The video recorder - Traffic - Street signs - Noise - Mobiles
3. A life in the day - Coffee bars - Cosmetic surgery - Food shopping - IKEA - Restaurant food
4. So who's to blame? - New man - Children - The Internet - Tony Blair - Reality TV
5. Grumpy Old Men at Christmas - Carol singers - Nativity plays - Christmas Music - The tree - Christmas Eve - Christmas Lunch - Christmas TV
No matter which episode or chapter you watch you can find something that you relate to and end up thinking ''Oh God, I'm just like that!''. Its a great moan about everything and stars Celebrities in particular which make it even better as you get an insight to their lives and what really bugs them.
It stars: Jeremy Clarkson Felix Dexter John O'Farrell Sir Bob Geldof Elliot Gould Michael Grade Tony Hawks (not the skateboarder!) Rory McGrath Richard Madeley Bill Nighy Matthew Parris John Peel Will Self John Sessions Lemn Sissay Arthur Smith Rick Stein Ken Stott Rick Wakeman
All who share their experiences and moans with the public. A great DVD for anyone!!! The only thing I have to say bad about it is there isn't enough episodes, it would have been great to see some more of certain people for example Jeremy Clarkson. However, the DVD is brilliant, it gives examples of what the grumpy old men are talking about and everything is true!
I highly recommend this DVD, I'm sure that anyone would love it as it relates to any person!
Advantages: Good humour and Sandra Bullock looking sexy! Disadvantages: Sandra Bullock looking ropey
spectacular about it at all!
Director
********
Donald Petrie directed this film and he has done a fine job. The direction particular stands out in the way the comedy timing has been dealt with. The actors are used to great effect with facial expressions being allowed to say more than words. Petrie has has a fairly successful directorial career, from his first attempt with "The Equalizer" television series back in 1985. Since then he has directed numerous other films and Television shows including "MacGuyver" (1985), "LA Law" (1986), "Mystic Pizza" (1988) and "Grumpyoldmen" (1993). These are just a few examples, there are many more!
