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.

完全是为安迪加西亚忍着看，因为《安娜》忽然对这个老成了升级版喜剧罗伯特德尼罗的演员很欣赏。这电影其实讲的是辛苦打拼事业有成的男人中年危机，本来很有意思，为了卖票房按套路把婚礼喜剧部分放大，导致电影结构严重失衡，女主和女主老妈成了俩惹人厌恶的bitch，真人秀级别的“大女人”drama，因为男权原罪，现在就什么都是老娘有理，看得搓火。最难忍人物情感极其肤浅，中老年人可不是小年轻，睡沙发得腰疼，这老妈凭什么在老公没有过错的情况下做得这么绝情？是偶像剧么，就想冲她那张老脸拍一大盘蛋糕
僵尸发电、僵尸能源、僵尸炸弹…脑洞挺大
幸亏我提前看得第一部，不然可能完全看不明白这个剧情，如果你想看这个剧最好先看第一部
說起來，本片最大的缺點在於小女兒Cora的故事。全片暗示了無數次Cora性嚮的問題，暗示了無數次她和Adan的表妹Vanessa互相喜歡。但是所有伏筆最終都被扔掉，沒有任何進展，而且她活在各方面都完美的姐姐陰影下的故事也同樣中途就被放棄，就顯得有點莫名其妙。要麽是本片打算拍聚焦Cora的續集，要麽就是對這麽一部瞄准傳統價值觀電影里是否要加入這個元素還是有猶豫。
剧情俗套，又是好人被坏人蒙骗做了恶事，最后醒悟干翻反派大头目的老套路。前期有点意思，后期平庸无聊。
不如第一部，尤其这配乐太闹着玩儿了，80年代港片感觉
88分钟09秒 23.976fps 流媒体WEB
2、丧尸能源的设定依然在，本作新增了活人药引子的设定，还有机械丧尸，但终归没有什么大的突破
还是第一部的那些演员，甚至还把黑人演员的女儿给拉来了，不忘旧人，冲这点加分，小成本下玩成这样已经算不错了，期待还有续集或新作。
两星半吧。我没看过1，直接点开了2，一开始用丧尸的沼气做动能，还有点意思，虽然这个设定以前就有。嗯，然后，观感就是脏兮兮、黑乎乎、乱糟糟，真的是土嗨土嗨的感觉。其实女主的功能开挂了，想象下，脑控着千军万马的丧尸，还有什么搞不定？
就不太懂，自家爸爸想搞大婚礼的时候女主不同意，公公想搞大，女主就同意了？
剧情几乎无任何有新意的波澜，全都按照好莱坞最经典的分歧-冲突-谈话-和解路线进行，角色更是毫无丰满可言。安迪加西亚是唯一看点。
电影与一般的印度电影十分不同，摄影、剧本、台词都极好，画面美绝。故事其实是逃离压抑保守的家庭，追求自由的过程，情节处理上是有些简单了，但确实和电影整体一样唯美，梦一场就好。

的确有很多CMBYN式的元素，房客、作家、桔子、衬衫以及换了种说法的以你的名字呼唤我直接在台词中出现，等等，包括前半程故事走向和节奏调调也挺像。非常文艺迷影范，布列松、黑泽明、塔可夫斯基纷纷出镜，洛丽塔、莫里斯等等也被提及。摄影构图很漂亮，美术布景很舒服，和以往的印度电影观影经验大不同。可惜后半程掉得有些多，在隐身与逃跑中舔舐时代身份之悲苦，反倒不如副线女人之间的互救来得动人。
看了第一部紧接着看二，真的挺好看的，全程无尿点。
小成本制作，血浆满天飞，僵尸的喷出的口气是甲烷，可以用作燃料，僵尸还能受意念控制，可以拔手榴弹可以开枪，还有插鼻孔看起来真的好痛啊

好无聊的片子啊，除了丧尸能发电的设定有点搞笑。。。。
典型的美式家庭喜剧，看似不可调合的矛盾，经过磕磕碰碰，自我反省，成就了一对幸福的人，也挽救了自己的婚姻！
