Summary: If there was a no star rating, that's what it would get!
Review: How sad to see such a pathetic attempt at making a movie of a really good series. It was absolutely horrible. The video and audio are really bad. I was highly disappointed and I wish I hadn't bought it. Very Corny. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I bought this for my husband as he is a long time fan of the TV show but after he watched about 30 minutes of it, he gave up and added it to the things we were taking to Goodwill. Money wasted.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good movie to watch
Review: I have always enjoyed british comedies. I have read about this movie, and I finally found it on Amazon.com. I would recommend it to any british comedy fan.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointed
Review: I have been a fan of Are You Being Served? since I first discovered it on my PBS television station. When I discovered that there was a movie on video,I couldn't wait to see it,and ordered it from Amazon. After watching it, I was very disappointed. The castwas great in the store,but like Are You BeingServed? Again, the AYBSMovie,(I'm sorry to say)left much to be desired.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do Not Buy This DVD
Review: I love the show Are You Being Served? to death. I grew up watching the reruns on PBS every Saturday with my grandmother. If your a fan of the show, I would reccomend, you see the movie to just to see it, but try to rent, because it's not worth owning. It has it's funny moments, Captain Peacock and Mrs. Slcombe in the photo booth, Mr. Humpheries as a nun, etc. One thing that bugs me though is it seems b/c of the popularity of the show at the time, they put no care into making this movie, they thought it would do fine either way. The store set in the beginning isn't the same as the one on the show, the screenwriters missed some places where gags or jokes about the characters could have been added, their tent city at the hotel looks like their studio's back-lot, and they don't take enough time to develop the story, though, you want it to get over soon, b/c it's pretty boring. If your new to Are You Being Served?, don't go near this movie for awhile, start with the great PBS reruns. If your already a fan - like me - try to avoid owning the movie unless your a big collector.

Summary: The Best Comedy Ever Made!
Review: I love this movie I watch it over and over again

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A big disappointment
Review: I own the "Are You Being Served" DVD mega box set which is great from beginning to end. So I bought the movie thinking it would meet the same high standards. Boy, was I wrong. It's nothing more than a rehash of old skits from the TV series, and badly done at that. The sets look very cheap, the acting is tired, the director offers no direction. In other words, it was very boring with hardly a laugh anywhere. If I were the creators of this classic Britcom, I would have been ashamed to have pawned this "take the money and run" movie off on the public. But don't let this movie tarnish your view of "Are You Being Served," the series. It's still the best of the best. Buy the TV episodes and you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well, it's a movie alright.
Review: I strongly suggest you skip this and go right to the 7 DVD box-set. Although this is clever in many ways, it's a rehash of other episodes, though the "Dear Sexy Knickers" bit is nearly flawless. Like all AYBS items, this has at least one priceless moment that'll make you glad you have it for your collection. But if you're on a budget, look at the box set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious movie
Review: I'm a big fan of Are you Being Served?, and I thought this movie was hilarious. This movie does contain a number of references and bits from various episodes, which to me adds to it's charm.
The original staff are on a wacky vacation together. The cast is great, and the story kept me laughing throughout. I recommend this DVD to any fan of the series.
