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.

在接近两个小时里的时长里，电影的情绪堆得很满，情节对话都比较密集，这也是西葡语系电影的一个特点。我们永远可以相信的是拉美电影的审美，为这也值得观看这部不是十分优秀的影片。很多时候明明知道电影里的那些外国，也都不是真实的，但还是会心生向往。因为我周边的人都活得太累了，除了生活还是生活。而我现在困于自己的年龄与能力，也总是感觉卡在一处不能动弹的难受。所以，遇上这种主要表达烦闷与迷茫的电影，总能产生很多共鸣。
看完不知道说什么。故事本身挺无趣的。演员演技都在线。甩着迪克跳舞是意外惊喜。好在最后是个HE。又是一部关于和解的电影。
不是单纯的搞笑，是爱情片。儿子在雨中的爆哭，很感人。柳承龙饰演的男主，前妻和现任太像了，傻傻分不清。整体还可以。
前半段是爱情的模样，年轻真好！后半段又是成长之后的无奈，大人真无聊。
美丽的、魔法一般的时间，在黎明来临之前随她一起消失。说什么成为社会人以后也可以延续青春的傻话，什么都会结束的，不是吗？爱情终究化作了罐装啤酒的泡沫，推动着自己向前的是不理想的工作，追逐不到“最喜欢”，连“第二喜欢”也是奢求，太阳升起后才看得清要面对的是怎样的人生。PS.结菜的“彼女感”过于完美，近似一场梦幻。
不知道这个片名怎么翻译的，以及看者寥寥低分评价却这么多的原理是啥，但这片子真的很好笑啊，镜头语言细腻又跳脱，很像身边神经大条的朋友拍着你的肩膀给你讲笑话。而且主线很清晰啊，一个江郎才尽正愁着怎么应付死亡deadline的中年男作家，莫名被自己的男学生表白，作家本想置之不理，可偏偏男学生又极有才华，切带来了能帮作家脱困的处女作…….可能因为前面对于作家的生活做了太长的铺垫，显得主线不够清晰，不过看进去之后真的很好玩，我个人也非常喜欢情感正浓时突然用搞笑桥段收尾的处理方式。
同志老爹跟女儿跳雨伞舞。
结局已经很明白了非不点透。。。好吧
中年男同志的情感危机。男友分手、女儿成长、母亲老去，不幸的童年让他永远处理不好情感的问题，试图彬彬有礼、试图强带笑容，但总有一刻掩盖不了而爆发。他试图挽回前男友，但不是因为爱，而是因为恐惧没有爱；他对好友突然的表白、他对一面之缘的智利青年产生“强烈的感觉”、他对沙滩偶遇的陌生情侣欢度一夜，大抵都是由于对“没有爱”“不能爱”的恐惧。这个让人心疼的男人总是试图逃避，直到电影结束，他也没有真正解决自己的问题。但这也就是生活，前男友成了别人的男友，女儿要成长离开，母亲会去世，终究，是要孤独地接纳一切。
定式日本青春电影。《鸟唱》的黎明深蓝，《花束》的亚比喜好，再加点反转，再加点懊悔，就成了这样的带有无数前人影子的商业青春电影。黑岛结菜真可爱啊，北村匠海总带着一种颓废的不可靠感，能把这两个人的床戏拍得这么平庸、甚至糟糕其实也算一种本事了。3.5归3。
不老男神Leonardo Sbaraglia演绎中年同志的日常生活，他沉湎于过去，放纵在当下，他很敏感，也很悲伤，而这也恰好反映了阿根廷现在的“生存状态”，背景和前景人物形成了完美的相互关照。
和自己和解，和生活和解。男神 Leonardo Sbaraglia依舊非常迷人。
6.0 / 看这种电影就是忍不住疯狂截图的冲动。从二十年前的《烈焰焚币》爱到这部《心猿意马》，莱昂叔是真 · 人民艺术家。
观感很差，剧本台词都没写好，感觉很塌，又仿佛在说教
演员卖力演出，故事却很松散，在同性题材上没有太多过人之处。
在夜晚看完《黎明时分》，更平静的节奏更贴近生活
黑岛结菜的错误使用方式，从情节到台词都浅薄得要命，3星全给黑岛的时装秀。
人的悲喜的确相同，但多数的相同也都是这样没有具体事宜自我认同自我否定的细碎日常。这些东西可以在心里公震，但搬上台面来说，就有点自怨自艾了。当然了，看老帅哥犯琼瑶病还是可以赏心悦目的。
生活里的bipolar够多了，电影还拍个没完.......
只有题材是浪漫喜剧（豆瓣这片名谁瞎翻译的？）好笑好哭懂得都懂，导演能把这种耽爆款设定拍成电影上映还找了柳承龙来演也是nb
