I love this film, but as most Brits know that Americans have a very different sense of humour (not prejudice in anyway my Aunty is American).
Just this film is made up of very British humour and was just curious to see if Americans enjoyed it as much as us Brits?
I was born and raised in Texas and I have ALWAYS loved British humor. My husband and I wouldn't miss Benny Hill back in the 80s. Very quick and silly and fun.
shareIt did relatively well in U.S. theaters when it came out, plus it often makes the rounds on U.S. TV...
...so I would say that Americans generally like this film (I know I do).
And even though it is set in England, the themes of the film can be related-to by other non-English people in general and many Americans in particular. It's not strictly "about" England and English people.
I am watching it on TV right now. I love this movie, I wish I could find more movies like this I really love English movies I think the characters are more interesting and quirky then American movies, where eccentricity is more cartoonish and less believable.
shareI loved it, but I'm an unrepentant Anglophile. I loved the dialects, the slang, the cultural rifts; that the characterizations are terrific and the plot great certainly doesn't hurt.
shareThis is one "Yank" who loves this film. I've always loved British humor and have watched "Britcoms" for many years.
shareActually, I know lots of Americans who love British humor. This is one of my favorite films. I not only think it's really funny, but it's so life affirming, and such a wonderful celebration of masculinity in all its forms.
shareWow. Just an observation, but this thread is almost 4 years old. But it is hard to believe that this film is even older. I am American and this is one of my favorite movies.
