Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

情节故事很有趣，演技尚可，就是拍得不好，拍摄手法还停留在较原始低端的层级上
看了短视频介绍这“一斤俱乐部”才知道这个电影，之前腾讯视频的推荐一下子就跳过，确实难提起兴趣。但真正看完，确实是不错，最近看的我发现都是套路陈旧的，不过套路就是套路，话说回来，电影，或者商业电影可不就是按着套路来的么，按着套路来，要符合纲啊线啊的，还要拍的好，不容易。剩下能打动人挑动人的就是真实了。这个就是用真实，虽然荒诞但真实，虽然很多的不合理，但又真实，估计这就是现在流行说的那种东北魔幻现实主义吧，像老舅的野狼disco，像现在又开始很流行起来的东北文学。总之有搞笑有煽情，但都不太刻意，在现在的电影们里面，就算是很合格的一部了。夫复何求呢。一句“二手月季”四个字就足够撑起我自己看本片的笑点了。另外，里面那俩服完刑的年轻人找的挺好的，看着就像是狠的，但又是帅的。还有里面演最好的我觉得是刀爷
叙事没有头绪，很多部分很尴尬，关于服过刑的人员和白事的故事，网剧，整体一般，后期升华的还可以。
我承认我对这类电影期待值极低，不难看到乐不出来就行了，所以想说这部还不错，居家想放松放松，看看挺舒服的，不添堵。
7。#入围BJIFF2021 [声音] [意象] 导演/摄影/男演员都值得鼓励一下
俗是俗点，但还不算恶俗，作为曾经的“爱笑会议室”主要成员之一，崔志佳这些年露面并不多，不知道是不是因为和乔杉、修睿等人比，他并没有天生一副“喜剧脸”。
最后不还是以暴制暴么😒
看完了。挺不错。风景，小乐趣，一个个小品通过剧情衔接。二手玫瑰和谦哥孙越都是片段式的搞笑。电影太男人，情感表达太压抑，需要女人表达情感的方式，就会更加张扬，更加丰满。最后把那个赵大明白扔下去，那里的风景拍的很美。我花了很长时间看的。
另外大潘咋没客串个角色呢，可惜！
事实证明三件事：1宋晓峰只能演个配角天天彩，2崔志佳真的有东西，3东北赵家班只能在电影里肖分
行走在悲怆深林的孤绝者，用水墨着色在战场，于深涧内与死去的魂灵重逢。形式大于内容的构图大赏，人物形象单薄，在足够黑暗的影厅里，仍然面目模糊。稍有审美的设计被稚嫩的剧本击穿，成为一剂催眠药，将全场送入沉睡。
比预期的要好很多，在线上“大电影”里应该属于佳作了。
整体对于喜剧电影来说是合格的，笑点不断。老四的出现没想到，抖音关注过；李会长也是绝了；月季没唱一宿，是最大的遗憾了。
很好的题材，像一个带着经历的故事，也像一个爱电影人的梦
1：当年《爱笑会议室》那批人都出来了，非常好（弱弱的问句古筝那丫头怎么没有消息了呢：）。2：要论喜剧，说实话还得剑指东北。2：社会派喜剧，关注刑满释放人员，非常好的话题。
好算不上，个别梗还能逗逗乐，最后狗尾续貂太多
但是逻辑不通
无脑观影佳片。 有几处笑料还是不错的
出乎意料，居然还不错，叙事挺完整，笑料也挺自然流畅，起码做到了不尬，之前看过有关出狱人员在东北从事殡葬业的报道和纪录片，这点社会关照也挺好。
给个6分吧 前一个小时笑点密集 客串也都集中在前边 借鉴了几处日本搞笑综艺的片段 从华子哥往后 就没啥意思了 剧情线从搞笑往感动的方向走的太生硬 最后30分钟更是逻辑混乱 属于虎头蛇尾吧
