Film Review: Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie

It's been a hit on the stage. It's been a hit on the small screen. So can D'movie do the same on the big screen?

The film revolves around Mrs Brown discovering what unpaid taxes on her stall and ultimately, becoming the face of a campaign to save the Moore Street market. But through this, a dark secret from Agnes Brown's past will rear it's head...

The film itself works 50/50. The TV show works as it's filmed in front of a live audience but it's a little odd not to hear laughter in the film. There's a few moments in the where obvious mistakes have been made and left in, which sort of takes you out of the film.. Although there is plenty of laughable moments, the jokes in the film do seem to be a little tamer compared to what we're used to. We found that we were laughing at some points where others weren't but we guess that all comes down you your sense of humour

We think this could have been much more but that there is something missing here that seems to have been lost in translation from stage and small screen to the big one. It's still enjoyable but if you've any doubts, maybe wait until it comes out on DVD.

Rating: 3/5
