Absolutely the worst movie.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

"Red Dwarf" is a 25-minute television short film from almost 25 years ago that was intended to launch the American take on the famous British comedy series with the same name. Science Fiction meets Comedy is something that is not really common. The lead actor here is Craig Bierko who I know from "Boston Legal". Obviously, he was still a lot younger here when "Red Dwarf" was made. The director is "Night Court" and "Malcolm in the Middle" maker Jeff Melman and this one here was probably among his least successful career works. All in all, this is a fairly forgettable watch. I am not familiar with the British series, but I am sure that this one isn't that great either. It's not that amateurs made this one here really and Bierko is a talented actor. I probably would not have kept watching though if this series had continued, so my final verdict is thumbs down.

No wonder this never got past the pilot! The characters (with the exception of Kryten) are generic looking, acting, and speaking with none of the wackiness of the UK version; UTTERLY uninteresting.The jokes fall flatter than an amoeba in a centrifuge. Even the jokes ripped straight from the UK version are delivered so badly they don't even elicit a smile.No understanding whatsoever of UK RD's "trench humor". The music adds nothing.The whole mess is just... PUTRID BEYOND WORDS!Ho1ywood* just cannot seem to make any kind of comedy except banal machine-gun-rapid "spray stupid sex jokes and hope a few work", sort. Compared to this the minute long "Pigs in Space" segments of the Muppet Show were absolute masterpieces!* misspelling intentional

Why do Americans always feel like they have to take something which is already good and change it to suit them. The show had 8 series in england and easily had more if the actors wanted. so why did the Americans think they could do a better version of the show. Think of your shows. Did i just mention the office?? There could only be one lister ( Craig Charles). There can only be one Rimmer (Chris Barrie). The show was meant to be a low budget sci-fi TV series show because it wanted to be not because it had to be. Please watch the original show of red dwarf not the us pilot shows. Thank you and good night. Don't Forget that one day with any luck there will be a movie and with any luck it will be with the original cast and directors. Is It Over? The Smeg It Is....

This is without a doubt the worst adaptation ever. Im sorry but british comedy is only funny when its *British*. The American humour aint at all funny and the characters are weak to say the least. The only good point about this show is Kryten......only because its the original. An absolutely terrible tv show, if you like Red Dwarf then watch the original.
