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.

烂。从其他多部电影里搬了很多角色跟剧情过来，大杂烩，又乱又尴尬。告诉你，这不是致敬，也不是翻拍，这叫抄袭。别老炒冷饭，静下心来，拍部自己的作品吧。
金凯瑞的蛋头博士真的carry全场，从表演还是神态，都能看出搞笑人的担当。
这部电影在网大里面已经算是优质之作了，虽然可能受制于成本特效还是一般般，但在剧情方面没有遭到魔改，人物形象也都可圈可点，还是值得点赞的，也值得其他的网大去学习
本来被推荐的时候很不屑的，但是看完之后觉得挺好的呢，我居然没有快进，又去刷了两遍星爷经典的。这样他们的爱情就更完整了
还行，剧情还有点意思，基本就是原来大话的前传。
索尼克游戏角色悉数登场，片尾彩蛋的暗影索尼克预示着第三部。儿童向的剧情，就像过家家【两星半】
5分
我小时候超喜欢刺猬索尼克的
Sonic looks more like a doll or a puppet than an animal, let alone a sprite.
西伯利亚尬舞那段有必要吗？FBI脑子里都是夏威夷的海水吗？好的这是低龄向的动画，那你水了2个小时也有点太考验孩子耐心了吧。
剧本虽然写的简单，但故事好歹也能说得通。幽默示范挺多的，主角们的造型都不错。解个闷，挺好。
二十年后，你知道自己不是那个人。
30分钟 ，金凯瑞演的反派实在是太有魅力了，几个表情就让人更想看他的表演。
剧情依旧是偏低幼，整体比较弱智无趣，看的出来想把观众逗笑的地方不少，也用了很多梗，比如说光头强和光头范的恩怨，还有最后还Q了一下男主之前的角色镭射眼，但是都是无济于补的。金凯瑞的反派蛋头博士依旧是最大看点，但是整体这个角色发挥的空间不大，表现也一般般。倒是索尼克的两个新伙伴塑造的还算可以。整体来说，个人觉得不如第一部，看这样还会有第三部，希望剧情上能在上点心吧。唯一的遗憾就是派拉蒙放弃了在内地院线的上映，在影院看可能在视效上能增色不少，可惜了，2.5星。
80％的段落都可以删掉
多了新角色导致叙事更拖沓了，而片尾的彩蛋暗示还有第三部，这真的拍得下去吗……
作为幼儿向电影也没啥可挑的，好在有金凯瑞丰富的肢体语言可看，也没觉得太无聊。
第一部还能看个新鲜，第二部就开始敷衍了，故事的起承转合拿脚后跟都能猜到，金凯瑞的表演也不再显眼，只能往里塞新角色，也不管合不合理，反正导演觉得观众也就来看个热闹的，太尊重观众了就是不尊重自己。
场面很大，放在主流超英电影里面也不虚，索尼克最后的大战魂穿惊奇队长，质量比起前作并没有退步，但感觉少了一点惊喜和可爱。
在这样一部片子里真是不合时宜
