| User ReviewTeresa ILove it really really funny I think anyhow. Can never go wrong with anything Steptoe |
| User ReviewWez cOne of my favourites ever. I love the series so there's now reason why I'm not going to like the two movies. The script is bulging with hilarious lines, quips and throw-back lines for both Harold and Albert from start to finish. And every single scene is genuinely filled with hilarity. This film suits the original series perfectly involving the Steptoes having to sell everything in their home to pay off a gangster, buying a blind-as-a-bat greyhound to earn them some money and showing us what they get up to at home like making Harold's sandwiches with fag ash! stealing the neighbour's pigeons for tea, and Harold looting the toilet bowl for money! A terrific film from start to finish. One of the few films I can watch over again and still continue to find it funny. |
| User ReviewColin FSuperb Film, second big screen version of the tevision show, and out of the two films far the best. Harry H Corbett and Wilfred Brambell are well on form. Very funny script, features them trying to win money with a Blind Grayhound to payback a loan to the godfather of sherpards bush, they end up trying to get the money by faking Alberts death to get the insurance, he almost gets buried alive, worth checking out "You Dirty old man!" |
| User Reviewpete 1This film is just funny as hell!! No seriously it is, it's worth watchin'!!! |
| User ReviewSam CVery sadly dated, but almost deliberately. This film has some golden comedy moments. "Sorry, wrong funeral" is surely an impossible line to get a laugh out of? Wrong again! :D |
| User ReviewMia SUnlike most of the 70's sitcoms that transferred to the big screen and were frankly dire, I'm glad to say that this Steptoe & Son movie (the 2nd one they made) was pretty funny and centers on Harold having to pay off a debt and faking his father's death in order to get his insurance. If you enjoyed the series then you'll certainly like this movie. |
| User ReviewJames MThe comedy on offering here isn't up to the standard from the classic sitcom, but it does have a few good laughs... Would rather just watch a season of the TV show though. |
| User ReviewMarc BGreat comedy duo. Film plods along a bit slowly but the two of them together are the perfect match for madcap capers. Used to love watching the series back in the day haha. |
| User ReviewKarsh DA slight improvement on the first steptoe film. Here, Harold swaps his lame horse for a blind greyhound in a bid to raise some cash and when that doesn't work he has to fake his dads death for the insurance. But he can't even do that right! |
| User ReviewTheMumblelover .A very disappointing outing and follow up, not remotely as funny as the previous film it just looks tired and bored |
