I saw this the day it came out at the cinema. (3/12/99.) As a massive Bottom fan, expectations were super high... Though the problem for me was the lack of Richie and Eddie chatting to each other. Their natural chemistry with each other was slightly absent here. No "You don't get bus conductors on the roof!" lines in this. Seems they concentrated too much on special effects. (Though I enjoyed watching Josh's reaction just now. Enjoyed the film for what it is.)

How is it you're able to upload this with the video intact when other episodes have it blurred with the timer?

Julian

Yeah. Something off with the sound for me too. The other uploads seem fine - maybe just poor sound encoding on whatever disc/stream Josh used.

Andy

I haven't seen this film for ages. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it along with you Josh and I'm so glad you liked it! Pheeeeeb

Jackie Gotham

Awesome man!

After Work Reactions

Feeb! One boiled egg. I've been putting off my re-watch of this for quite a while because I knew you get around to it. Glad you loved it as much as me :)

Nick Kay

I mean, continuity is hardly a bedrock of Bottom is it? They've died at least twice lol.

Podey Williams

loved bottom, its over the top a lot of the time but it just worked, This film however, I just couldn't sit through it, the cringe made it too hard. The film ignores the series completely as they have 2 different lives and no connection to each other. That said i found the writing for this very poor

Dave Jones

Glad you ignored the messages Josh and made your own opinion of this film. I liked it as well, maybe it stretched a few scenes out a bit longer than necessary, but this is Rik and Ade, chaos is what makes it funny.

Shaun Heals

Hens vaginas? XD

Ed

I remember when this came out on video, think I must have been about 10. And all the other kids in my class couldn't stop talking about it, specifically the vomit scene, and saying how it was the funniest film ever. I never got to see it and felt like I was missing out, then finally saw it about 3 year ago. I'm sure I'd of loved it if I saw it at 10. I enjoyed it more watching it with you reacting to it than I did when I first saw it

Danny

Oh how I love this crass revolting hysterical film!! Never ever get tired of it! 🤮Just makes me miss Rik Mayall even more!😪

Claire Prowse

The Italians being named after pasta dishes! Punch Out levels of 'can we really get away with naming our characters this?' 🤣

David Lyons

It was hilarious man I am happy I finally checked it out. I do want to watch the Bottom lives soon as well.

After Work Reactions

LOL that is awesome =]

Glad you enjoyed it Josh and your reaction to the nut cracking scene was hilarious 😂 Seeing as you asked for our opinions at the end, I'd say I really like the film but it could have been even better. I watched it when I was younger with my brother (we both grew up watching and loving Bottom) when it first came out and was a bit disappointed. Then a few years later I liked it more. This 3rd time watching along with you was definitely the best lol. I can see why it's not everyone's cup of tea though. And Rik Mayall is always fantastic, I'd watch pretty much anything with him in it. He's just one of those few people who can me laugh with a slight facial expression or tone of voice. Overall I think it's a fun film if you already love Bottom and enjoy the ridiculous scenarios they end up in. I can't wait till you watch the live shows though, I definitely like them more than the film. I do hope The Young Ones gets voted in at some point, it's mental and I'd love to see what you make of it.

after this reaction i'm really hopeful you will react to the young ones one day...if only to see rick and ades extreme violence to each other in another setting. and the style of the young ones is definitely "looney tunes" lol

Raindog

This movie was made after Rik Mayalls quad bike accident so Adrian Edmondson pretty much had to write the script himself which is why thismovie feels off, it didn't have both of their input.

JokerDanny

You definitely need to watch the live shows next

Craig

It barely gets any votes in the new series polls, the people voting now have much different tastes in comedy to the people who was originally voting for shows like Fawlty Towers, Bottom etc

Danny

Amazing reaction Josh, loved watching it with you. PLEASE check out the Bottom Live Shows soon as you can!

Anthony Mark Taylor

Is the sound high pitched for anyone else or just me?

Martyn

Always great to see Rik and Ade :)

BelladonnicHazeyJaneII

That's how I see it. It's great for a laugh at all the ridiculousness. I enjoy all of the live shows as well to be honest. Don't know why some would prefer him to miss any of them out - even if they don't like certain ones, Josh might think those ones are great.

BelladonnicHazeyJaneII

I'm off tomorrow and haven't seen this in 20 years so I'm going to roll one and laugh the evening away...

Daniel

Sometimes it's difficult to make a format that is designed for 30 minutes to work for 90. I find a lot of film adaptions of TV shows fall a bit flat as a result. Still, it's an okay film with good moments and it's great to see these two again.

BertFredStan

Can't wait to watch this tomorrow !

Matthew

Baffles me how people went into a Bottom movie and expected a Oscar winner. Yeah the plot is mainly bad but it’s clearly on purpose. It’s all part of how Bottom is. It’s a excuse for violence, dick and fart jokes. The bottom live shows have ridiculous plots but that’s precisely what makes them hilarious. I’d recommend you get round to all of them and don’t leave any out. The people who tell you to leave certain shows out are the same people who told you to avoid the movie.

Austyn Shaw

For me it's watchable without being great. I don't think Bottom works as a dark comedy. I would have preferred something lighter with plenty of the usual crazy violence. I'm still hoping you'll get to watch the live shows eventually!

Loved watching it along with you .Josh. Please find time for the live shows whilst you've got your Bottom head on :)

Paul Bibby

Pheeb! Bottom fan here and I love this film. Pleased you enjoyed it too.

PunchyPariah

I love this movie! I never understood the people in the comments who told you to avoid it. Can't wait for you to see the Bottom Live shows when you get around to it!

Sam Reeves

U need to watch the young ones Josh it's like bottom on acid I guarantee you will love it

Stu 79

My friends and I at school would say "Pheeb" to each other for years after this.

Pheeb! Let's do this!
