“I saw the Strangers With Candy movie yesterday at a free screening. Iu0026#39;m a huge fan of the show (I own all 3 seasons on DVD) and I couldnu0026#39;t believe my luck at having been given a pass. For the most part, t.v. shows donu0026#39;t translate well on the big screen and it pains me to say that Strangers with Candy the movie is no exception to this rule. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBasically, the film is a re-hashing of the same gags and jokes true fans know and love (and will unmistakably remember) from the t.v. show. This lame regurgitation simply didnu0026#39;t work, and it was evident through the acting that the actors themselves felt uncomfortable reciting the same material. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA side note: At the risk of sound like a total obsessive nerd and the equivalent of SWC u0026quot;trekkieu0026quot;….why the hell did they change Derrick??? and the Flatpoint campus (not to mention its new location directly across from the Blank residence!) And this Megawatti person is such a lame substitution for Orlando!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is not to say that the film didnu0026#39;t have itu0026#39;s funny moments–it did have itu0026#39;s fair share. The opening prison montage was especially funny and memorable. Stephen Colbert was hilarious in every scene, and Amy delivered as usual.”
