Best Movies about Sitcom

Movies about Sitcom

So far we’ve had a new Armáda tatínka movie this year – a sit-com already adapted to film with its original cast back in 1971. Now, with a new Absolutely Fabulous arriving in feature-length form, here’s a whistle-stop tour through some other British TV perennials (some classic; some not so much) that have made the leap from the small to the big screen.

Dokud nás smrt nerozdělí (1968)

Dyed-in-the-wool reactionary bigot Alf Garnett – the monstrous creation of Warren Mitchell and writer Johnny Speight – raged on the BBC for seven series of Dokud nás smrt nerozdělí and six of follow-up V Nemoci A Ve Zdraví. This film comes early in his long run, and serves as a prequel: half set during WWII, and half in 1966. We pick up Alf and his wife Else as newlyweds during the Blitz, follow the birth of their daughter Rita, and then slip ahead to the pivotal election year and, of course, England’s World Cup win. 1972 sequel Sága Alfa Garnetta picked up where the first film left off, with Alf and Else adapting to life in a high-rise council flat, following their original Wapping home’s demolition.

A modern version of this would be topical. Alf would definitely have voted for Brexit.

V autobusech (1971)

Hammer weren’t just about horror. They got into the sit-com-to-film business early, turning National Service chortlefest Armádní hra do I Only Arsked in 1958. They then got into a lucrative niche with their gothic business, but as the popularity of Frankenstein monsters and lesbian vampires waned, Na Autobusech was among their great successes of the ‘70s. The ITV sitcom was about the bus depot misadventures and skirt chasing of Stan (Reg Varney) and Jack (Bob Grant), and their battles with grim Inspector “Blakey” Blake (Stephen Lewis). The first film saw them facing the threat of –shock! Horror! – female bus drivers. Sequel Mutiny On the Buses (1972) involved various slapstick disputes over uniforms, radio equipment, safety procedures and wages. And final gasp Holiday On The Buses (1973), packed everyone off to Pontins for yet more leery japes in a different setting.

Up Pompeii! (1971)

45 let dříve Deadpool, Frankie Howerd was breaking the fourth wall as the lascivious Lurcio (slave to his master Ludicrus Sextus), attempting to narrate a story but never getting further than “The Prologue” as cheeky farce collapsed around him. Pokračovat veteran Talbot Rothwell wrote the double-entendre heavy scripts. Freed of TV restrictions, the film was a more explicit sex comedy (in that there was actual on-screen nudity) but basically more of the same, with the mayhem hung on a plot about retrieving a politically dangerous scroll. Sequel Up The Chastity Belt (released the same year) followed the same format, but changed the setting to Robin Hood’s merrie England (Howerd was now a peasant called Lurkalot). And there was one more, in the form of Up The Front, which sent Howerd’s Private Lurk off to the First World War.

Bless This House (1972)

A vehicle for Sid James, ITV’s Požehnej tomuto domu revolved around the Abbot family. James (playing a character called Sid, of course) was the out-of-touch paterfamilias struggling to comprehend his kids, and enduring neighbourly battles with Terry Scott and June Whitfield next door. The film was basically that again, with minor tweaks to the extended cast. Sid is trying to build an illegal whiskey still, but suffers constant distractions from his youngsters and his new neighbours Terry and June. The Pokračovat team produced it, seizing the opportunity for more _hyuk hyuk hyuk_s.

Steptoe and Son (1972)

There were eight series of Steptoe And Son in the ‘60s and ‘70s: an often bleak comedy about father and son rag-and-bone men (Wilfred Brambell’s Albert and Harry H. Corbett’s Harold) stuck together in their decrepit yard. The first film arrived late in the run, offering Harold an escape when he marries a local stripper called Zita, briefly honeymoons in Spain and – he’s told – fathers a child. But Albert, of course, throws a manipulative spanner in the works; it turns out the baby isn’t Harold’s; and Zita leaves him for a musician in her backing band (having already cheated on him with a Spanish holiday rep). Poor Harold ends the film back where he started. Sequel Steptoe And Son Ride Again happened the following year, involving gangsters, gambling debts, and Albert faking his own death to claim some life insurance. Which doesn’t work, obviously.

Man About the House (1974)

The set-up of Muž o domě was Richard O’Sullivan sharing a flat with hot chicks Paula Wilcox and Sally Thomsett (incredibly a controversial premise at the time). The platonic threesome continually butt heads with landlords George and Mildred Roper (Brian Murphya and Yootha Joice) who find the mixed-sex arrangement freakish. The film sees them joining forces against a shady developer who wants to buy the building. This was Hammer’s final sit-com movie. MATEMATIKA spin-off série George And Mildred got its own movie in 1980, from a different studio.

The Likely Lads (1976)

Pravděpodobní chlapci byl Špatně se chovající muži or Přestupníci of the ‘60s, with childhood friends Terry and Bob (James Bolam and Rodney Bewes) negotiating early adulthood and the pursuit of girls. In the ‘70s it was revived as Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?, picking up with the pair a few years later, when Terry has just come out of the army and Bob has settled down to an aspirational middle-class life with Thelma (Brigit Forsyth). The film came after the TV run had ended, reverting to the original title but continuing on from the cokoliv series. Terry is now dating Christina (Mary Tamm), and the pair embark on a caravan holiday with Bob and Thelma that goes so disastrously that both couples separate. Bob and Terry then head off for a weekend in Whitley Bay, where farcical hi-jinks ensue with a predatory boarding house landlady and her daughter.

Are You Being Served? (1977)

Jste obsluhován? was set in the Grace Brothers department store, but with the shop undergoing a refit, the film jets the cast off to Spain (actually an island off Spain, the “Costa Plonka”) for a paid holiday. Mrs Slocombe doesn’t bring her pussy. Someone must be taking care of it at home. The hotel isn’t ready; there’s some business with love notes, tent swapping, an inflatable bra and a toilet with locks on the outside; and then there’s a revolutionary uprising and a gunfight with federal troops. This was actually an adaptation of a stage spin-off that the cast performed for a season in Blackpool.

Kaše (1979)

One of the best examples of the sit-com spin-off, the Ovesná kaše movie quite cleverly tweaks the prison-based format of the series and expands for the big screen by taking the action outside the gates. Fletcher (Ronnie Barker) and co. are involved in a football match which is providing the ideal cover for another inmate’s escape plan. The problem is, Fletcher and Godber (Richard Beckinsale) don’t want to escape, since it would scotch their chances for imminent parole. Reluctantly caught up in the breakout, they have to somehow get back do Slade Prison before anyone notices they’ve gone. This was made two years after the series finished, but is obviously set sometime before the final episode.

Rising Damp (1980)

Essentially a greatest-hits of the TV series about seedy landlord Rigsby (Leonard Rossiter) and his tenants. Rigsby loves Miss Jones (Francis de la Tour); Miss Jones fancies Philip (Don Warrington); Philip amuses himself by exploiting Rigsby’s ignorant racism and pretending to be the son of an African chief. And so on. Several of the film’s specific incidents had already been seen in the TV series and were simply recycled for the big screen version. It was made after the TV run had ended, by which time Richard Beckinsale had sadly died. Christopher Strauli – at the time starring in writer Eric Chappell’s next sit-com, the hospital-set Jen když se směju – took his place.

Bottom (1999)

Penzion Paradiso isn’t exactly a film of Spodní část – but it’s Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall playing characters called Eddie and Richie, who hate each other and fight a lot. So it’s as near as dammit. Edmondson directed the movie, which has him and Rik running a useless hotel next to a leaking nuclear power station. It’s really a loose connection of sketches about the boys dealing terribly with the hotel guests (Bill Nighy and Simon Pegg among them), but there’s some semblance of a plot about a mysterious Italian beauty (Hélène Mahieu as “Gina Carbonara”) on the run from violent gangster boyfriend Gino Bolognese (played by Vincent Cassel!). Everyone gets violently ill from eating radioactive fish, and the climax involves a lot of projectile puking and a vomit-boulder sequence aping Dobyvatelé ztracené archy.

Liga gentlemanů (2005)

The big-screen League Of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse sees Mark Gatiss, Jeremy Dyson and Steve Pemberton playing themselves as well as their regular cast of characters from the dark TV show. Fourth gentleman Jeremy Dyson, who writes but doesn’t act, is played by Michael Sheen. The meta business at hand involves a dimensional door through which the League’s fictional world encroaches on our own. Chaos reigns.

The Thick of It (2009)

Ve smyčce both is and isn’t a film of Husté: it shares the characters Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) and Jamie McDonald (Paul Higgins), but all the other regular cast members play different characters, and there are plenty of new characters who aren’t in the show. The movie centres on Anglo-American politics, with the British and American governments facing a potential new war in the Middle East. Taking Husté’s approach but moving much of the acerbic drama to the White House, it anticipates writer/director Armando Iannucci’s subsequent American series Veep.

The Inbetweeners (2011)

E4 Přestupníci TV series followed four teenagers (Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, Blake Harrison and James Buckley) in their final years at school. The film picks them up post-A Levels and, in time honoured, TV-to-film tradition, takes them out of their established setting and packs them off on holiday – in this case to Crete. Bad behaviour and issues with girls are, of course, the result. Inbetweeners 2 followed three years later, with the maturing pals (in age if not demeanour) growing apart but reuniting for another vacation, this time in Australia.

Špatné vzdělání (2015)

Another school-based sit-com (this time from BBC3), and another one that uproots its cast to see how they cope somewhere else (see above, plus the Prosím pane! film from 1971). Film Špatná výchova starts in Amsterdam with some inappropriateness in the Anne Frank museum. Later on it decamps to Cornwall, with world’s worst teacher Jack Whitehall attempting to corral his charges as they get mistaken for a terrorist sleeper cell and mixed up in a «Cornish Liberation Army» struggle for independence. Iain Glen plays the bad guy. Magic mushrooms and desiccated foreskins are consumed.

Čestná uznání:

Spaced (2004)

Not a film of Rozloženo, but you’d complain if we didn’t include it. Zom-com Soumrak mrtvých stars, of course, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright directed. But while the team’s the same — and the film has roots in a sequence in a Rozloženo episode, the characters are different and there’s no other connection (edit: Edgar Wright reminds us that Tyres does actually shuffle by!). Hot Fuzz a Konec světa make up the rest of the Trilogie Cornetto.

Last Of The Summer Wine (1983)

Not made for the cinema, Jak dostat Sama domů was a Christmas special for the venerable sit-com: a TV-movie shot on film, running for 90 minutes and not encumbered by an audience laugh track. You’ll know Letní víno as that gently cosy show about pratfalling old men, but the film reflects an era when the characters were younger (possibly even unemployed rather than retired) and the series had trochu more edge. Adapted from a tie-in novel by series writer Roy Clark, the film’s plot centres on the body of Sam, who has died in the bed of local floozy Lilly. To prevent Sam’s wife learning that he popped his clogs in flagrante elsewhere, Compo (Bill Owen), Clegg (Peter Sallis) and Foggy (Brian Wilde) hatch a haphazard plan – at one point involving an almost derelict pink double-decker bus converted into a chip van — to get his corpse home undetected.

51 best comedy movies of all time that will have you crying with laughter

The best comedy movies make our world go around and elicit constant chuckles for a good 2-3 hours. And this is great news: a healthy dose of laughter helps boost your mood and get those happy hormones pumping. It’s literally science.

Don’t believe us? Well, studies show that the short-term benefits of laughter include *cue speedy pharmaceutical advert style voice*: intake of oxygen-rich air; stimulation of muscles including your heart and lungs; increased endorphins; activation and relief of your stress response; and muscle relaxation. We also hear that laughter is a pretty cheap way to help fix a broken heart, and for that, we say thank you. Basically, we’re not saying you should trade the aspirin for a comedy flick, but putting on a funny movie won’t hurt. And we know the very best ones to get those endorphins flowing.

So, we have rounded up what we believe are the best comedy movies of all time. From recent hits such as Seniorský rok a Zdvořilá společnost to cult classics like Nesvatbovi, Napoleon Dynamite, Průměrné dívky, a Lehké to nineties favourites such as Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery a Wayneův svět, these are 51 of the best films to stick on for some of ‘the best medicine’…

15 Comedy Movies We Think Could Pull Off Sitcom Versions

What makes a solid sitcom ? Well, producers are usually looking for shows that could be considered “evergreen” meaning the premise is simple enough to be r epeated until the end of time . Usually, an ensemble cast is at the forefront of the show. American sitcoms often ensure the characters don’t change much, but their adventures and mishaps do. Sitcom reboots often replace the original cast with new actors, so we will account for that as well in our findings. MacGruber a Co děláme ve stínech were able to pull it off, so who’s next?

15 Galaxy Quest

Although the movie has a dynamite cast, this is one of those premises that is interesting enough to pull off rebooting with an entirely new comedic roster. A show about former star Trek actors actually traveling the galaxy as an unbelievably inexperienced crew is just begging to be thrown on FOX. Fish out of water stories are some of the easiest vessels for comedy, so what are we waiting for!?

14 Stará škola

Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn certainly bring a lot to the table with their performances in Stará škola, but strip them away and what do we have? A show about three adult best friends starting a fraternity at a college, the perfect situation for comedy. Maybe they will try to steal the rival schools’ mascot before the big game. Maybe they try to play a prank on the neighboring sorority in the non-creepiest way possible. The possibilities are endless!

13 Zoolander

I would 100% watch a show about a group of dim-witted male models navigating their way through the industry if that show was ever put to air. If it was given the stripped-down tender care of the first Zoolander film and not the cameo-heavy self-referential style of Zoolander 2 this premise has lots of leeway for model-related shenanigans. Oh no, all the models need to compete for the same gig! Oh, no, one model needs to teach another model how to read good! The show writes itself.

12 moderátor

From executive producers, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay comes a new news team to take over the airwaves. These words echo in my mind but will most likely never come to fruition. But, in a perfect world, we cast a group of five gifted improvisers to take on the mantle of a 70s news team and hilarity inevitably ensues. The whole focus of the first two films is on the raw talent of its stars, so go the same route with the sitcom. Like the Co děláme ve stínu spin-off, the new moderátor can showcase the improvisational gifts of whoever is cast.

11 Idiokracii

It is common for people to tell Mike Judge and Luke Wilson, the original creator and star of Idiokracii respectively, that rewatching the movie is rough because it feels so like today’s society. In a world where the dumbest stars are rewarded with popularity like Kanye West, Andrew Tate, and the “catch me outside” girl, this is the show America needs now. I mean we literally voted the star of Celebrity Apprentice into the White House. If that doesn’t seem like the real-life equivalent of President Camacho, then I don’t what is.

10 těžké váhy

O.K., so těžké váhy isn’t the most politically correct movie when it’s put up against today’s standards of body positivity. But what if we capitalized on that change and brought everyone back to Camp Hope to revisit how we talk to children about their weight? Every season could focus on another summer at camp and perhaps even a few former cast members could be the ones running the camp now. Disney Plus, this idea is on us.

9 This Is Spinal Tap

Even though there is already a sequel to This Is Spinal Tap on the way, the story of three British rock stars navigating their way through waning popularity is certainly a strong enough premise to warrant an episodic series. Run over to Second City or Groundlings and scoop up three of the best talents you can find and let them riff. Even if it wasn’t exactly called “spinal Tap” the essence of the characters is timeless and would certainly lead to some great comedically improvised moments.

8 Matilda

Alright, I may still want Danny DeVito to direct as he did for the original Matilda movie, but the popularity of the Matilda musical has proven that audiences are still interested in this story. What happens after Matilda goes to live with Miss Honey? We literally end the movie knowing this young girl has supernatural telepathic powers, and we’re supposed to believe the story ends there? Let me see teenage Matilda throwing bullies out of windows, baby!

7 Sky High

Sky High was the ultimate sleepover film if you were born in the 90s. The prospect of attending a floating high school built solely for the training of superheroes was irresistible to any kiddo. Superhero high school, that’s the premise at its most basic, which makes you wonder why it hasn’t been adapted into a sitcom before. Like Freaks & Geeks if they could burn a hole through someone’s face with their laser eyes. I bet with the right deal we could even get some of the teachers back, which include, Jim Rash, Dave Foley, Bruce Campbell, Tom Kenney, and Kevin McDonald.

6 Adventureland

A bunch of quirky teens working at a run-down amusement park ? This premise is just waiting for a That 70s Show-style reboot but with even more rollercoasters. New rides may need installing and testing every few weeks. Relationships form and die out atop the awkwardly slow Ferris wheel. Jesse Eisenburg too big for the role? Throw in Freddie Highmore from The Good Doctor and call it a day.

5 Čekání

Where are our situational comedies about the service/restaurant industry that aren’t like Two Broke Girls? Čekání was a Comedy Central 2 pm staple that found that sweet spot between raunchy and relatability. With shows like Bear taking off, why not bring in our old friends from Shenaniganz and see how they interact with things like Yelp and Instagram Food Bloggers?

4 Deník princezny

In a classic fish out of water story that is as old as time, a girl who is very not-princess-like must learn the ways of royalty in the new Disney Plus sitcom Deník princezny . There are so many gags to tie into this idea that the series could last years without running out of material. Princess Mia wears her converse to a ball and everyone is all like, “Hey you can’t do that.” More jokes just like that are right around the corner if Disney finally answers my letters about my interest in helming the reboot.

3 Big

What if Tom Hanks was big….forever? What if the poor Zoltar machine was destroyed shortly after Josh Baskin was transformed into an adult? We’d follow Baskin as he continues to fake his way through adulthood along with his best friend Billy, and ethically confusing girlfriend Susan. Let’s see Josh go to a kegger! Let’s see Josh go to the DMV! Let’s see Josh be the only adult at the Kids Choice Awards until he is escorted out!

2 Noc v muzeu

The original writers of Noc v muzeu , Tom Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, left the series of films after the first picture, but let’s bring them back as executive producers for the new NRTM sitcom, most likely entitled, “Nights At The Museum.” New exhibits are shuffled through the halls every week! Relationships form and fall between statues of Roman emperors and mummified Egyptian cats. The show has a great opportunity to tell highly original situational jokes and teach a bit of history all at the same time.

1 Howard The Duck

Disney Plus is missing one crucial show, that I for one would binge like a madman. The live-action, sitcom reboot of Howard The Duck. We’ve already seen Howard The Duck in the background of movies like Endgame a Strážci galaxie, but when are we going to get the wise-cracking duck detective to star in his own series? The only thing I would change is instead of an animated duck, can we pleeease make it another person in a duck costume instead?
