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.

现在看什么好莱坞电影都觉得太模式化了，我怕是有什么大病。全片看完就是一部很工整的美利坚主旋律电影，颁奖季少不了这种类型的。
鲁比其实是非常幸运的，有着美满的家庭，有闺蜜，有帅气的男友，竟然还有音乐天赋，还有伯乐老师。。唯一纠结就是到底应该留下来帮助家人还是去寻求自己的音乐梦想，后面就更加正能量，鲁比愿意舍弃自己留下来陪伴家人，而家人也愿意送鲁比远走他乡寻求梦想。比较典型的美式家庭电影。女主很好看，歌曲很好听。
因为后来的封城MIFF估计也落花流水了 自己在网上找到资源看了 3.5/5 很流水线的主旋律电影呀 和佛罗里达乐园差太多了 | MIFF排了但我买不着票 哭了
you are all i need to get by
面试上的手语，父亲用自己的方式感受女儿的歌声。。这泪点真是一波接一波。。看这片我用掉不少纸巾。。
属于实在找不到电影看了才会点开看的那一种，因为会很害怕肉麻的感觉。好在本片不止令人肉麻感动，其实更多的是清新自然，甚至有好几处能让人笑出声来
7.6/10 Sundance2021Virtual 剧作结构工整，节奏尚可，青春梦想歌舞剧该具备的元素基本一个不落下，然后将一个更普世的家庭阻碍置换成聋哑家庭而已，但是对于聋哑群体的行为，除去幽默的噱头之外，也展露一定程度的力量，且演唱会时分的静音处理的确神来之笔。然而对于地貌和环境依然有严重疏忽，故事发生在波士顿郊区的Gloucester港，巧妙得连接到位于波士顿的伯克利音乐学院，然后对于城市和港口的景观都没能构建，女主与男友戏水的地貌虽然富有魅力但倍感与其余地方割裂，对于家族向上的历史厚重也过于敷衍，唯有简单提及时代捕鱼，人物依托两种单调力量：行为（性）与声音（唱歌），从对立（女主的禁欲主义）到和解（水面亲吻与父亲触摸声带）
你想知道我为什么当老师？
套路是套路，但在星空下给爸爸唱那段也是真的忽然眼泪就大颗小颗流下来。duet和audition也都普通地美好。（甚至想了一下如果以后自己活得条件好了可以也学学手语）
有點怕看這類題材電影，幸好片子並非灑狗血賣慘之作，喜歡戲裡的幽默感。雖然很多場口其實都在預計之中，但還是溫暖的，歌曲加了不少分。
3.5/5.0 论观感要好于原版《贝利叶一家》。
音乐片的感染力真是太强了，音乐+煽情鸡汤剧情=秒杀。虽然过于鸡汤一直被我排斥和当作缺点，不过有被打动到——片子里的情境其实可以不仅限于残障家庭，也不仅限于那么完美和鸡汤。设想：你是一个中国女孩，你被原生家庭需要和依赖，父母希望你少考虑一点自己，多一点顾家、晚一点离开家庭，在以爱为名的需求下，你是选择“自私”地展翅飞翔，还是尽可能留在父母身边？
学校演出那一段静音简直太棒了，面试唱歌时看到家人的陪伴瞬间泪目，梦想很重要，家人也是一样。
看起来非常特殊，但是想来有不小的普适性：当人们对你的期望与自己的热爱不一致时，你是否有勇气坚持自己的热爱？
看到最后有些泪目了，没有啥花里胡哨的元素，不矫情不做作，通俗却不流俗，就是很诚挚的讲好一个故事，然后感动观众，有点找回了最初看电影的感觉，真好。夜空下与面试时，被深深打动。有笑有泪，家庭和梦想间的矛盾成全，彼此都需要放手。有点想到了凤凰河主演的《不设限通缉》。这样一个亲民温馨的故事，相信很少会有人不喜欢。
起承转合都可以猜到，但是毕竟也算半个音乐电影，还是很美。全场消失声音的画面，还有一边比手语一边唱歌的画面，都是值得记录的瞬间。
2、影片讲述的是一个健听女孩的成长故事。主角是一个热爱唱歌的女孩，出生在一个靠捕鱼为生的聋哑人家庭，当她陷入个人和家庭、梦想与责任的两难境地时，她会做出怎样的选择？
主旋律，没有觉得差，有些影评人在高贵什么？
一种工整流畅同时也套路的好看。全片最触动我的两个点，一个就是我能感受到这一家人之间的爱，既害怕失去又尝试放手的那种爱；还有一个就是最后的拥抱，告别很难，回望很久，我懂。法版觉得鸡汤的部分，这一版居然意外吃下了，生活好苦，总要有些东西来麻痹自己日子还是值得过的，至少在某些方面是这样。3.5
庆幸没有在还没看的时候就跟风说一句“不配”。小故事小人物小题材又如何呢？反正是有实实在在地触动到我。将一个乍一看并不吸引人的故事拍到这个地步已经够啦，很好的作品。
