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.

摄影不错，气氛尚佳，喜剧乏力，剧情普通。这片子确实难宣发。我觉得男孩可以用新人，教练戏份应该请个大牌点的，或者稍微话题性强一点的。然后再让男孩们组成一个什么扑水少年限定团，拍一个时尚杂志卖卖肉，上一两个国民度高的综艺露露脸，还可以在公众号里软文上多打一下性别刻板印象的牌，还是能吸睛的。
3.5 是一部比较真挚的青春片，辛云来目前为止演的最好的一部
心里面很空的一天 抱着随便看一部睡前电影的心情 极其无聊的前40分钟 然后就开始全身像是被触电般的麻 这种麻来自于结构 倒退着的时间 来自于回溯式的故事 不连贯的情绪和碎片化的日常感 来自于水族馆的舞蹈 这个八景岛水族馆我也去过啊 我当时拍的时候也是同款的噪点 然后我也稍微想起一些什么 一些不连贯的情绪和碎片化的日常 一开始老伴去世怀念老伴的老头 到后半段竟然能够再见到他的老伴 这是一种什么样的能量啊 倒数几场戏两人刚相遇的时候在高円寺跳舞 女生说反正也不会再见了 可是我们都知道你们一起过了愉悦又心碎的几年 我们也知道你们后来不会再见了 最后的最后看着同一片朝阳 你还想吃蛋糕这样也很好吧 唯一的缺点其实真的没必要做成倒退版的一天 我喜欢电影和我自身产生的情绪、创作的共识和那些日常 非常美妙
国内应该多一点这样的青春片，没有原创就先翻拍着吧。
合格的翻拍，意料之中。毕竟原作相当的不错，但此片笑点不足。
这是青春该有的样子，热血，搞笑，感动。青春无畏，自己才能定义的人生
松居大悟终于跳脱出他标志性的某种舞台剧式的镜头语言的范式，但依然会将设定植入到人物及背景中，并且在这部里真正搭建起他的文艺宇宙，圆融汇通，cue老贾只是引子，整体反而像是奇巧。近年日影同类型最佳，也是东京蓝、剧场之后最打动我的一部，凌凌像是被伊藤从隔壁无法长大拉过来串个场，但是有句讲句，壮壮还是跟muse比较有cp感。丨
只有晚上的排片叫我爸一起来看的，挺不戳，几个主演都像小版的线上演员
第一次看到日本电影里主角们讨论看外国电影选择看字幕版还是配音版。看到还剩40分钟的时候，不得不因为池松壮亮的色气停下来喘口气。虽然伊藤沙莉也很好，但他俩适配度并没有那么高，然而池松演得好有说服力，这两人的「花束般的恋爱」我是可以接受的，比坂元式的旁白注解来得清爽真实得多。细节也好可爱。至于这个结尾，愣是被 shock 到缓了两天，如果动机和过程交代得更清楚一点，也许不至于这么突兀。想把房子装修成男主家那个样子。7.2
真实、新锐、阳光、向上

若还年轻估计会被打鸡血，成人后撞南墙也是自己，因为轻易做不成别人。。。
为什么爱马仕和LV没有童装线。喜欢的大牌里有童装的又设计可爱好看的只有FENDI，Dior喜欢但童装不好看，Gucci和Burberry童装的确丰富多彩但这俩品牌形象太廉价，givenchy Chloe 巴黎世家这类就不用说了不温不火，moncler也还行可能出于补偿心理觉得它家童装至少简单干净，D&G风格浮夸还挺适合童装但难买到，Versace类似，对了还有Chanel为啥也不生产童装
真正的东京爱情故事。两个文艺基层打工人无疾而终但甜蜜浪漫的恋爱回忆。池松壮亮和伊藤沙莉在电影里面都演得极其自然，就像真的恋人一般。比起坂元裕二《花束般恋爱》略显造作的豆瓣友邻之恋，个人更喜欢松居大悟这段颓丧但快乐的失恋回忆
这就是青春吧，印象特别深刻的是男主到喜欢的女生身边“呵呵”一笑，让我觉得好真实！
我真的觉得还行，有笑有感动，很青春。 这片的档期真的绝了 为什么要跟《长津湖》硬碰硬啊。。。最后排片少的亲妈都看不见。
もう一回見に行く。
看完就把《花束般的恋爱》扣了一星，消逝在时间里的记忆，静谧流动的城市映像。
今天在ipad上看的，好电影，谢谢导演，需要这样的电影，欠你一张电影票。
叙事不够紧凑，不过总体故事立意还可以。压缩到九十分钟，可能素质会更好
