george and mildred the movie lack the talent of it tv writer john mortimer who bring the close quarter cut and thrust of george class war with the fourmiles alive . the plot be cut from standard spin off cloth hit man or mistake identity and have as little tension a there be laugh . the producer should have take a leaf from rise damp and ( also 1980 ) which be also buy to the big screen after the tv series demise and and keep much of the story in familiar setting . yootha joyce die in 1980 but she should not be remember for this creak piece of work encumber a she be by her illness . mildred lack the sharpness of her tv incarnation while cut aside and wither look largely direct at george lack of libido . george sputter incredulity also get lose in the more expansive set . this be not to say that they be much to shout about . the budget for this movie look pathetically small while a restaurant they go to be clearly a new semi starch house with some christmas light adorn the front door . for fan of 70 british comedy or those who just want to revisit an old tv companion from their youth this film can add nothing to the experience and they should just stick to the first four tv series out now on dvd .
