Walliams & Friend Audience Reviews

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Paul Evans It's a very up and down comedy series, some of the sketches are hugely funny and some are painful. The fact that Walliams is so popular means he can entice all manner of stars to appear alongside him, the episodes with Joanna Lumley and Jack Whitehall I think are among the funniest, but the Harry Enfield episode is the best of the lot. Some would argue some of the sketches feel a little dated, but throughout I'm reminded of the humour of Catherine Tate, Webb & Mitchell, etc but, still in his own unique style.I love the thought of Chris Ellison locked up with the Chuckle Brothers, that was great, but Harry Enfield's Queen Elizabeth is hilarious, 'who does one think one is?'Hopefully back for more. 7/10
morton-alexander-e Sooo bad! From David Walliams, the man with an ego the size of a small planet, more unfunny crap...so unfunny they've had to add a laughter track (check the real audience next to the fake audience member asking the unfunny J. Beiber question)....How did this escape? Oh yes, it's from the well known National Treasure (?!?) Walliams...total bilge! Would the BBC like to inform us exactly how much these 'shows'cost? Probably not...whatever, it was way too much. Walliams has got by with a thimbleful of talent and a barrow-load of bluster...he's a very lucky boy.Because of him being a National Treasure (?!?) he'll probably survive this ordure...unjustly.
Prismark10 There was an unlikely one off pairing at Christmas 1989 when Bruce Forsyth and Ronnie Corbett teamed up for a comedy special.This brings into mind something similar as Walliams has had a supposed falling out with comedy partner Matt Lucas.Walliams & Friend includes Joanna Lumley who appears in lots of sketches with him here. There is the nerdy fan who pesters Ms Lumley for a cheeky selfie, the rather racy Bake Off judges with added double entendres and the chavvy fake tan workers.There is little of the bad taste humour from Little Britain that we associate Walliams with. It is more mainstream but apart from a few mild chuckles there was little comedy.
l_rawjalaurence In structural terms, WALLIAMS AND FRIEND is an old-fashioned sketch show of the kind found in Eighties comedies such as THE TWO RONNIES and THE MIKE YARWOOD SHOW. Designed to show off the versatility of the star, it proves that he possesses comic talent, especially in cross-gender roles.Some of the sketches are funnier than others; I especially enjoyed a spoof of THE GREAT British BAKE-OFF where Walliams (as Paul Hollywood) and guest Joanna Lumley (as Mary Berry) indulge in a lewd exchange of pleasantries involving the names of cakes and buns. I also liked Walliams's parody newsreader sketch reminiscent of Ronnie Barker at his best.Joanna Lumley has great fun playing a variety of roles, including a sketch where she lectures a group of Lumley clones in how to behave in Lumleyesque fashion.
