If you have only seen the second version of the show, this movie is a bit confusing. For some reason they decided to go with things from the first series like Agnes having six kids and owning a vegetable stand.They also say that ninjas are from China and I'm pretty sure they weren't joking.The entire plot is non-sense.There's a scene where she eats breakfast at a diner.No matter which version of the show you go with, Agnes Brown would never go out for breakfast.The only good change is that Grandad has a much bigger part.He has more lines in this movie than he did in the entire series and he's really funny.For some reason they decided to use the fake bloopers in the movie which just doesn't make any sense, but it makes more sense than having Agnes push a pram around.The best part was seeing Brendan O'Carroll do a different character even though that character just sounded like Agnes with a lisp.Changing the subtitles to Russian when the Russians started speaking English was funny but this movie put too much emphasis on the serious stuff.While it's not a complete disappointment, it is more proof that TV shows should not be made into movies.

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning The sort of inevitable film adaptation of the popular Mrs Brown's Boys series, focusing on her running her fruit stall, carrying on the family tradition. But a ruthless property developer now wants her stall, or, rather the area it's on, for his own use, and is prepared to send his goons to get it. Worse, Mrs Brown now seems to owe a massive tax bill on an unpaid debt from many years ago, even though she's convinced she paid it. It all leads to an audacious break in to the tax office, whilst battling the thugs sent to take her from her stall.Everyone seems convinced the 'golden age' of British TV comedy is over, and that everything worthwhile was done in the 70s and such, but over the past decade or two, there's clearly been some definitively cult offerings, in terms of TV franchises, that have come by in that time frame. One such example would be Mrs Brown's Boys, which has brought Irish humour to the forefront. The Irish are renowned for having the ability to laugh and poke fun at each other like no-one else, and so they are ideally placed to create something so this way inclined, and Brendan O' Carroll and his (mostly family) cast and crew have certainly done this. Though I can think of other more modern stuff I prefer, that's not to say I don't think there are some bright sparks of humour in the series here and there. And, to be honest, it's much the same case with the film.The big problem is, of course, taking something so successful on the small screen and transferring it to the big one. This is so much tougher with comedy, which relies on how far you can stretch a joke, or the premise of a joke, out, and if you stretch it too far, watching the material fall flat and the gags get more laboured and desperate. It's undeniable that the plot doesn't really have the gravitas to stretch even to an hour and a half, really, and it will definitely have your attention wondering long before the end, but it's the odd laugh you get here and there that really lifts it out of it's rut, and actually makes it worthwhile.Obviously not a comedy great, and it won't hurt if you watch something else instead. But it serves it's purpose, and that'll do. ***

I had been a fan of Mrs. Brown since the theatre years before the TV show ever came along which would sky rocket Mrs. Brown to fame. When I first heard about the Movie I was expecting the usual really dirty jokes that Mrs. Brown is best known for, usually Mrs. Brown is absolutely funny as hell. However...that wasn't the case with the Movie, what I thought was going to be a great film was instead a complete "pile of s***", it's absolutely terrible... My question is, what went wrong? Although Brendan O'Carroll who plays Mrs. Brown did write the story but the movie felt like it wasn't in his control. Most of the jokes were not funny at all, there were some really good moments but for the most part it was like nobody put any real care for the movie. But the worst thing of all, what happened to the really dirty humour that we love Mrs. Brown for? It's so bad, it's actually making me think about stop being a fan of Mrs. Brown for good because it's a real shame that the movie is ruined with a poor direction.Sure you can take the theatre out to the TV but it looks like you can't take the theatre into a movie.

... Because this is by far and away the worst movie I have seen all year.Okay, I think the show is alright. I think that when it works it can be an entertaining watch. So trust me when I say that I would much rather watch the 2-Set show with about 12 actors total then I would seeing this rather high budget Dublin production because it delivers nothing and I mean NOTHING of what made the show any good.So the plot, tell me if you have NEVER heard this before. A big greedy monolithic corporation decides to take down Mrs Brown's vegetable shop and it's up to all the other vegetable shop clerks on the street and her family to take them down.So, yeah if you've seen enough movies you will know that this is not original but at least the humour is there right? Well dies making fun of the handicapped sound anything like the show? This isn't just Mrs Brown but the whole movie. It takes it's time to insult people who are blind, people who are deaf, people who are old and people with mental health problems. I am not even kidding you.And speaking of, the person who trains Ninjitsu to the blind (which it doesn't say Ninjitsu in the movie, just that it's a Ninja school) Is played by Brendan O'Carroll doing his best to alienate the entire Asian Market by playing one of the most racist Chinese stereotypes I have ever seen and it's under the delusion that you are laughing at it when really you're just trying to find the nearest alcohol to drink.So could a comedy movie with no laughs and just goes out of it's way to insult the handicapped as well as racial in-sensitivities possibly get worse? Well believe it or not, it can. How? Drama. I am fine with drama in comedies but 80% of the drama is that Mrs Brown feels she let everyone down by having her children in care for 2 weeks when they were infants. That and anything else they try to do is PAINFUL! Oh god is it painful. At the end when she finds all the shop-keepers really DID support her and how much of a good moment it is I almost expected someone to say "You believe in Mrs Brown don't you? Well shout out and give her a hand".From a technical standpoint... This movie is bad. The cinematography is bland and uninspired and that's when they're doing it right, the editing is probably some of the laziest I have ever seen I mean I know in the show they do outtakes and that adds to the charm of the show but when a movie does it it just screams laziness because we would expect the odd suff-up for a low production show, whereas with a movie, it's a higher budget and people expected more. The fact they put out-takes in alone tells you what the technical aspects of this movie are like.Well D'Movie is not worth D'time or D'patience. It is the worst movie of 2014 and I have seen Vampire Academy. It is a bland, unfunny, offensive, poorly made mess that screams nothing then me wanting to quit watching the show or watching anything to do with it. It really is one of those movies that's a top contender for worst TV Show Adaptation ever made. Trust me when I say it has nothing that made anything about the show good.
