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.

幼儿片确实看不进去。sony的片子总有一种浪费时间的感觉。
之所以叫这个名字是因为导演想告诉你他没停机拍完的吧。片子成本挺小的，一个小院子里全都搞定了，枪械道具不错，但枪弹效果基本没有，都是电脑做的打在墙上的一股股白烟，大家对射半天全打在墙上，一块玻璃不带碎的。原本几颗手雷就可以搞定的攻坚战，匪徒一直到差点全员都死光了才上人肉炸弹。最后的手枪战群匪和搏击戏，看着都觉得主角好累，感觉这片子真应该让日本导演拍，摄影机不要停！
太无聊了太无趣了，Jason大概错记成他爹当年拍了个七宝奇谋啥的，NO，你爹拍的是个喜剧，大写的纯喜剧！！
主角性别模糊，刻意不明确性别，政治正确，主角的哥哥白人loser出场就爱上黑娘们儿，很政治正确，还得搭配一个叨bi叨的亚裔，集齐黄白黑，非常政治正确
导演是首作的儿子所以戏里戏外都是ghostbuster的传承 bill Murray一直不想拍续作来着 Harold Ramis复活了有没有！ 看他们像第一部一样站在一起并排打怪真好哭！！！
时隔37年的续集，情怀分拉的很满。当《捉鬼敢死队》原班人马现身的一刻，好像所有的回忆一下子都回来了（棉花糖人的梗依旧还在）。虽说剧情有些草率，但也算有血有肉有故事，比很多刻意煽情的续作好出很多。卡斯强大，蚁人与暗夜比邻星大谈恋爱真是跌破眼镜。尤其不得不提一下洛根金的演出，灵性十足，未来看好。总体而言作为茶余饭后的消遣之作，算合格了。
捉鬼？可能捉的是小主角这个可爱鬼；敢死队？不存在的，搁中国那叫勇者无敌少年先锋队❤️
《边境杀手》低配版，可惜只学了个皮毛，摄影还搞了个一镜到底，但是实在是功力欠佳，差了不少火候。细节也是bug太多，看得让人出戏。6.4分
如果没在很小的时候看过老版，直接看这部打分给1星也能理解。我是看出了眼泪，不是因为剧情，而是那份怀旧和回忆吧，怀念英雄主义美国梦流行的年份！美国梦翻译成中文算是个人努力自我实现吧，这玩意十几年前还有的。
官中字幕极其糟糕，但电影还行，虽然成了儿童片，但抄冷饭抄的比16年那部好，又有可爱的“小甜熊”演出，勉强三颗星吧。
作为一镜到底的长镜头拍摄确实不错，晃动是正常的。枪战和打斗也很精彩，但军事常识太差，而且恐怖分子智商拍的实在堪忧啊
#TIFFSecretMovieClub2021# 盲盒抽到了下周要上映的院线片，还是大IP的sequel,真是有点哭笑不得的意味。电影是标准的family friendly爆米花片，然而在故事的development上的确是合格的，特别是有些段落还挺cult,平衡了超自然主题和喜剧元素，在对原片pay tribute的同时也算是成功重新开启了这个IP。选Mckenna Grace绝对这次reboot最正确的决定，个人的charisma让我可以从三星改到四星。p.s.:两个post-credit scenes（第二个要等字幕结束）感觉更像是对原作粉丝的福利
其实最大的问题就是儿童视角…一切都是fairy tale，而不再是cult和真正的想象力，只剩下廉价的可爱和CGI…甚至有点可怜兮兮
这帮孩子大概都是神童吧，不然怎么会一瞬间不加思考的就学会了大量的复杂仪器操作方法，并瞬间洞悉了所有的主线任务。全片无聊到只有超市里的棉花糖精，起到了一丝提神的作用。这样粗制滥造毫不走心的致敬，算不算对逝者的不敬？
三十多年后特效当然进步很多，剧情真是比较偷懒（说好听点满满都是致敬），喜剧感也变弱了。老家伙们出场的时候还挺感动的。棉花糖小人儿最好玩啦～
一开始毫无意义的一惊一乍快把我送走了，后面就是经典爆米花剧情了，冷笑话还行，老爷爷们挺酷，别的没了...
还不错的＇一镜到底只是观众看到的一镜到底＇动作戏挺干净利落的＇实战嘛。
没有这个银幕基础，看下来真是形同嚼蜡。几个小演员刚好赶上长身体，真是变化硕大。
一镜到底拍摄手法让人代入感很强，后段的CQB也很专业，总之低成本片子中的精品。
1分给一镜到底的拍摄模式，1分给导演，1分给zoe，1分给精准射手黑哥。负2分给没有领导力没有战术指挥，拿了说明书也不懂操作RA，出门拿弹药却空手回家，捡个手雷早解决问题，只凭本能战斗的队长，这货还陈年海豹，战斗是他本能但脑子各种进水。这片应该是特警的CQB战斗教学学习片
