Film Review: 'Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie'

Earlier this week I managed to get to the cinema to watch 'Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie', and

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. With the exception of the ever beloved 'Simpsons Movie', other films based on TV shows have flopped, and I presumed that this film wouldn't be any different. For the most past, I was correct.
From start to finish, including the outtakes during the ending credits, this film is a laugh-a-minute hit. The audience, including myself, giggled at the gags which mirrored those used in the popular TV sitcom, and the amusing vibe of the cinema made the film even more enjoyable.
Even the camera mistakes and forgotten lines are kept in the film, just as the TV series, although they do seem to be more staged and predicable. One example of this is when main character 'Mrs Brown' [Brendan O'Carroll] and 'Winnie McGoogan' [Eilish O'Carroll] enter the National Archive Office to ask for the notorious missing tax payment receipt; the way the line forgetting is presented all seems too clean cut compared to the spontaneous and unpredictable mishaps in the TV show.
I will agree with some critics that the film could have been better. The start, featuring 'Mrs Brown' and other women parading around the streets of Dublin in an 'Oliver' styled fashion, is so promising, and the storyline itself should be fast-paced and energetic. The outcome: a little disappointing. The storyline is dragged out and becomes slightly boring after a while; this surprised me, as I am a devoted fan of the TV show which is quicker and a lot snappier in its plots.
All in all, I would rate this film a 6/10. The plot itself is good, and the jokes are up to standard, but the overall execution of the film is poor and too staged. It isn't a bad film, but it isn't all that good either.
