Surprisingly Really Good (by royhectorkabanlit) |
I didn't have a lot of hopes for this movie, its previews made it look like just some sort of a really bad B-Movie, but surprisingly it turned out to be really, really good.The humor is really good and smart, and the characters are quirky and memorable. It's about a has been Actor drawn into a Police Investigation, and along the way ended up meeting again the people he worked with from his past hit TV Show.A Must See for me, one of the really funny movies on Netfix right now. |
I laughed my eyeliner down my face (by esthercross) |
Mindhorn is the ultimate treat for anyone who has an appreciation for ludicrous humour. The film is set on the Isle of man which in my eyes sets the plot up for greatness as the clash of action and crime with understated countryside life is always a winner for me! I love to see the quaintness of British life being fondly ridiculed by a silly parody action sequence! Mindhorn is immediately funny and the 80s Mindhorn montage sequence reached both people who feel nostalgic about the 80s action genre my dad was roaring but it also tickled a 22 year old like myself. I love the parody form and <more> |
The Six Million Dollar Bergerac (by yorkshire_keith) |
Imagine if you will,what would have come along if the British producers of Bergerac or The Persuaders or the Professionals had added that bit of Imaginative American teenage sci-fi appeal from Night rider, or the Six Million Dollar man. The result would have been MINDHORN. Isle of Man detective Mindhorn lost his real eye in some brief special forces career, or some such usual drivel, and was given a special cybernetic lie detecting one by goodness knows who and then rather than using it to better mankind in special government service answering to chief Ernest Borgenine or David Doyle , as he <more> |
Absolutely Fantastic!!! (by dazzlingseem) |
From the start it looks like bit of British take on the Anchorman but as the movie progresses it brings out its distinction. The plot gets a bit too straight forward near the end but the movie never ceases to charm the laughter out of the viewers. I absolutely loved it. Mindhorn is one of the best comedy movies in the past 5+ years much better than big Hollywood budgets are pathetically struggling to achieve lately. |
absolutely great (by gofy_pac-468-810821) |
It is very rare now a days that you get to see a comedy film with out any adult language or those creepy scenes and Mindhorn is really an exception proving once again hat you do need a good story.I personally loved and liked this movie and i recommend it everyone who is interested in a good comedy watchable with friends. |
Lighthearted and fun! (by wladisha) |
The title says it all; this movie wants to make you laugh and leave you with a smile on your face afterwards. No nonsense, no melodrama.The characters are real people although exaggerated slightly , so it's not a parody - just a feel-good movie that's a little on the silly side.Recommended! |
John Nettles????..... (by FlashCallahan) |
Richard Thorncroft is a has-been British TV actor who used to be famous in the late 1980's for playing the titular and charismatic lead role in the Isle of Man detective show Mindhorn, a character with a Robotic eye that could literally see the truth. Richard has an unexpected opportunity to reignite his career though when a delusional criminal calling himself The Kestrel starts terrorising the Isle of Man and, having an extremely unhealthy obsession with the show, demands to talk only to Mindhorn. Relishing a chance for publicity, Richard dons his robotic eye, aggravates the police with <more> |
