“You know what you are going to get with Mrs Brown. Low brow silly comedy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a big budget version of the television show. It has outside location shooting in Dublin rather than it all being based in a television studio. They even include some scripted corpsing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOf course there has already been a Mrs Brown movie before. Anjelica Huston starred as Agnes Browne and directed the movie back as well back in 1999. It was more whimsical and featured Agnes Brown running her market stall.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe market stall is a plot device in this movie. Some Russians with the help of a crooked Irish politician want to close the market and build a shopping centre. Coincidentally Mrs Brown has received a tax demand running into millions of Euros.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is all a bit far fetched and lacks the core elements of the television series which made it enjoyable and at times amusing. At one point you have people dressed up as ninjas looking for a tax receipt written in braille but it just feels dragged out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBrendan Ou0026#39;Carroll has struggled to extend this for a feature film and it does stink of a cash in at a time when the BBC series was getting high ratings.”
