Summary: A 1970s comedy set in small-town England following an upstart young man working at an insurance company and his two odd friends as they try to make sense of their world and make lives of their own.
Cemetery Junction is an example of a film that is pretty good, but not great. It's entertaining, but also inconsistent in its delivery. The first two-thirds feel nothing like the final part, and this creates an amount of disconnect that makes the film seem like it isn't a complete package. However, it's still heartwarming, interesting and quite funny. It's nothing special, but it's a film that I had fun with while I was watching it.
An enjoyable, breezy coming of age story. Very funny throughout and manages to pack an emotional punch as well. The characters are likeable and there's great banter between Gervais and his mother. A nice sunday evening film.
I really liked this. It's a lovely story. Even got me a little teary. It's not standard Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant though. If you can put that aside, you might enjoy it as much as I did.
Not at all what I expected. I watched it because it's something by Ricky Gervais, so I expected something more comedic. Still, I really liked the second half of it, even though I guess some might think it's a bit cliché'd.
Man, I wanted to like this so badly. It felt a little too conventional. I was expecting something different. It's such a shame. I even wanted to fall for the ending like a sad sap, and I almost did, but the movie never earned that moment. I didn't really like the group of three friends. Somehow we've seen this same group of people in every movie, ever, and yet they remain unrealistic archetypes, not characters. I liked the movie, kinda, but with better characters it could have been great.
Charming little movie with nice little moments, but... Yeah, Gervais, we know you're perfectly aware what a cliche you wrote and directed, and you even have the balls, so to speak, to laugh at it with us, but this is not an excuse. It is fourth level defense mechanism. Hint for the next time: give us more Merchant on screen.
Cliche, which is a shame, since Gervais and Merchant's other work is so unexpected and fresh. Still, a nice little watch if you're in the mood for something light.
Stephen Merchant and Gervais are the best things in this. Unfortunately, I'm talking about the little we see of them and not the plot/characters/really anything else here.
Fantastic film!! great new direction for Gervais..compared to Ghost Town. this film also shows some great young stars and worked really well set in the 70's! just go and see this film and you wont be dissapointed!
Enjoyable film, unlike Invention of Lying, with a great script and a lot of subtle funny parts. A serious topic portrayed in an engaging and humorous manner. I was surprised that Gervais and Merchant managed to pull it off!
Felt more like a made-for-BBC movie than a theatrical release. The snide comments between Gervais and his mother were brilliant, but it left me wanting more as well as realizing that the movie isn't that funny. It's a decent coming-of-age film, not terrible in any respect, but also not great or enthralling.
Features a few amazing laughs. The story is a well-trodden one but Gervais has a flair for turning the mundane into something exceptionally fun to watch. While this isn't exceptional it is a good way to spend an hour and a half.
As a big fan of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, I expect more of this. Is not awful, but it is predictable and unimportant, just wanted to see something more daring and original, what is not.
Fairly likable. Nothing mind blowing as its all been done before but its got interesting characters and good writing. Enjoyable and nice to see a good film from Gervais/Merchant.
I kind of expected that I might quite enjoy this or at least wouldn't actively dislike it, but certainly did not expect to enjoy it just as much as I did. There may be plenty to criticise if you want to be be harsh, but why bother? This is a very pretty, genuinely funny, supremely written, and generally well performed uplifting drama. This films postives far outweigh any negatives. Cliché, but highly recommended if your looking for something lighthearted.
