4.0 out of 5 stars A final fling for TV's favourite couple!, 31 Mar 2001
By A Customer
For fans of classic seventies sit-com - or fans of British comedy in general - the film version of "George and Mildred" is a must! Featuring familiar jokes in the style of the "Carry On" films it is simple, harmless humour at it's best with a good dose of sexual innuendo thrown in. Unlike many film versions of sit-coms, "George and Mildred" lives up to the standards that made the TV series so popular. Mildred is still desperate for romance and George is still desperate to avoid it. In an attempt to win him round, Mildred decides on a second honeymoon at the London Hotel. Somehow the bumbling George is mistaken for a hit-man. Chaos, car chases and shoot-outs ensue, with the Roper's blissfully unaware of their predicament. A fine supporting cast including Stratford John, Kenneth Cope, Harry Fowler and Dudley Sutton help the film along and ironically it was the last time the Ropers were seen together on screen since Yootha Joyce (Midred) died before the film was released.

Ideal Sunday afternoon viewing, "George and Mildred" will tickle your funny bone and allow you to spend two hours in the comfort zone of a television classic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not up to the series, 31 Aug 2004
Although not a patch on the Thames Television TV series , this
film still has some moments . It is slightly too ambitious in
taking the Ropers out of their suburban surroundings and throwing them into gang warfare ! As with many film spinoffs
of television comedy , it just fails to hit the mark . Still ,
worth a try if you are a fan of G&M.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good comedy, albeit poignant, 27 April 2003
By A Customer
From 1976 to 79 George and Mildred was the best TV sitcom, and is stil being shown today. Brian Murphy was brilliant as the humble working class hero (or zero) George, but even he was outshone by the sublime Yootha Joyce as the man eating tyrant Mildred. A downside is the use of a writer never used on the TV series. As a result the film feels different to the series, the characters less established, particularly neighbours the Fourmiles, central to the TV sitcom, yet barely seen here. That said any film pairing Joyce and Murphy has to be a winner. They sare many happy, funny and poignant scenes, and help the film go along relatively unscathed. Not vintage George and Mildred (for that buy the series 1 DVD) but a good film nonetheless. On a sad note, Yootha Joyce died just before the film premiered, and George and Mildred was over.
