Harry Hill is and always has been a little bit like Marmite - you either like him or you hate him. The same can be said for The Harry Hill Movie.Harry Hill has always done surreal comedy, that's given, even back in the days when he was on Channel 4. In more recent times he became even more well known for TV Burp, which itself ran for 10 years and made Hill even more of a mainstream celebrity.Of course, having a successful show like TV Burp means anything you do afterwards is going to get compared to it. Including this film. Large chunks of the film are typical skits that with the right linking material wouldn't look out of place on TV Burp.The film's basic storyline essentially boils down to: Man takes dying hamster to Blackpool. Man's brother, who is into taxidermy and also a bit on the weird side, wants his brother's hamster to stuff. That premise stretches itself for 85 minutes - painfully. Not even the presence of Julie Walters, former Little Britain comedian Matt Lucas and the voice of Johnny Vegas can save this.Simon Bird features in this movie and can now have been said to have gone from one extreme to the other - his appearance in the excellent The Inbetweeners to his lacklustre own creation The King Is Dead (thankfully didn't last more than one series) and now Harry Hill Movie, which is only a step up from King is Dead due to the fact the movie had a bigger budget and was a better end production.There's a few things that could have worked better than they did but the end result appears to be a film made for the sake of making a film. The storyline starts off daft and gets dafter as the film progresses, ultimately concluding with a near obligatory final dance-off for no apparent reason.Harry Hill can do far better than this. Absolute die-hard Hill fans and those who loved, cherished and adored TV Burp will probably get a kick out of this but everybody else will just wonder what on earth is going on.

Harry has an evil twin brother, who looks like Matt Lucas, who wants Harry's pet hamster to finish off his weird hamster town type thing.He hires Simon Bird, and a Richard Keil lookalike to apprehend the hamster, but Harry thinks that the hamster only has a week to live, so he takes him on a trip of a lifetime, to Blackpole.....Well come on, what did you expect?It's called The Harry Hill Movie, it was released the week before Christmas, and it's aimed at the little ones, so it's hardly going for the art-house crowd.As you would expect, it's bonkers, confused, and way over the top, but Harry has that presence that you can almost forgive him for doing this, and give praise for him at least trying to give us some sort of plot and narrative.It's also a musical if you want to put the knife in a little deeper, and features a mutant hamster, shell people, and a strange reference to The House Of Wax.Out of all the TV characters and series that get big screen incarnations, this is far from the worst one out there, because it just doesn't even try to make any sense of it's own narrative.Great for a Saturday morning when you've woke up unexpectedly early and have nothing to do.

Likes : There isn't must i can say i like about this film, it has the slap stick Benny hill comical humor, i did find the chicken's with the gun pretty but but that about all i kind of found funny about this film, i love comedy film but im not a big fan of harry hill i find his joke & comedy over the top stupid. This film does have some decent acting pretty good singing from some, great costume design for the character & make up is good but sadly unless your a harry hill fan this is a disappointing film to watch. Dislikes : As I've said before if your not a harry hill fan this film is seriously going to be a bad film for you to watch, the joke's are over the top & unfunny, some of he singing is bad, this is one film that should never of been made, its just seem like a quick buck one off movie to make some money, i think this should of stay on TV because there are just something that should be made in to a film.

this movie is a comedy... not a major blockbuster, not a titanic wannabe movie but a comedy... comedies don't base themselves around plots... i have read some stupid reviews here that aren't even an excuse to be called reviews since there comparing it to alpha pap and the Keith lemon movie which is stupid because there comedies... comedies don't base themselves around a serious or deep plot, comedies are there for a laugh or for a parody of a concept, they aren't suppose to be taken seriously. lets take a movie called airplane... that didn't have a plot at all over then people were stuck on a plane with daft things happening... people look at it and find it a classic cause of its humor and people watched it for its humor and not the plot. or how about the gauntlet or chuck Norris movies or Steven seagal movies? they are based of the action and the events happening around them and how they must survive... its not really a plot but a situation.. movies have different purposes and depending on the genre, it will effect how the movie plays out and how deep the plot will be or how daft it will be.this movie knew what it wanted to be and that was a daft comedy based of the live of harry hill in his comedic world and it did what it did and it was there for a laugh and to entertain. personally after seeing how people are on this website it disgusts me cause no one here clearly has a understanding about genre, movies or the roles in the movie industry.this is a great laugh with the family and has some funny random plot elements and if your a harry hill fan watch it...just ignore the children here who go on here thinking there like the batman doing society justice or something by not even properly criticizing it with out doing research or knowing the purpose of the movie or let alone the comedic style of the main actor.
