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.

被感动到了，感觉比海边的曼切斯特更加悲伤，无力感遍布整部电影。当刑警对着婆婆的女儿说那段话时真的是绷不住了，无处躲藏的悲伤生生让你忘记这是侦探片。评分不高，但一个人安安静静的看就好。推荐
两个壁花少年，建立在谎言之上的共情。音乐剧的抓马特性搬到大银幕后明显水土不服。摩尔阿姨可以多唱唱歌吗？
4。“没有人是该死的”故事并不鲜见，灾后人心重创。心碎的故事，但是更重要的人的生命重要性
我觉得电影还行啊，不知道评论为什么会这么苛刻，我觉得歌比我今年看过的歌舞片里的歌都好听，Ben Platt演得也挺好，Amandla Stenberg的角色也让人眼前一亮，更能让我这种“程度”的人感到认同。
出发点好，表现不太行，明明有更多可以改进的地方。演员不够用力，且关键镜头相当草率。
改编算是及格，虽然故事被简化了不少，但核心保留了。DEH本就是近几年少有的比较深刻的戏，其直面死亡与秘密，全戏几乎所有的感人画面都来自于谎言，Best case，已经在戏中呈现，可是大多数情况下，死亡依然孤寂，秘密则永远被埋葬。Ben、摩尔的表演很精彩，妹妹的饰演者也逐渐成熟了。虽然是无法进剧院的解渴之作，但还是要感慨，电影比起戏剧来。能呈现的内容实在少太多了，正如戏剧与文学相比时一样。
有些次生灾害不会根除，会像病毒一样传承下去
人的复杂性在于情感的丰富导致行动的多样，定义混淆在正义与邪恶之间，非纯正的黑与白。此片以埃文的欺骗为始，认错为终，是人类行为自我修正的典型。与复杂的人性相对的，是行为趋势的明确，人的行为的方向，即是最有价值的判断依据，对于一个人的综合定论。
请为了哪怕一点点的温暖，好好活下去吧。
没看过音乐剧，觉得不算糟。为了满足自己的虚荣心和情感空白而撒谎骗了所有的人，这件事并不能因为当事人有社交障碍和极度渴望关爱就能被轻易原谅吧。他坦白的原因是纸包不住火了，要是还能继续装下去恐怕他永远不会坦白，而且会与自己的母亲越走越远。不过他坦白后做的事还算多少有点诚意。男主太老了，快三十演高中生真的离谱。几首歌说不上多好听，不过能听到朱丽安·摩尔唱歌也不错。
苦大仇深的一部烂电影。所有感情都突兀，佩服演员居然演得出来。看了1/4就能想到结局，越看越尴尬。怎么能这么烂。。。困死了我。
然后小本说真的，唱挺好，但影片整个服化道似乎与他无关，反正片中的形象就挺不高中生的了。摩尔和AA着实力挽狂澜了，要不是她俩铆足了劲演，影片整个怕是会更平。
1202年给我看这个有点过时了。戏剧化的脸谱人物放到大荧幕上显得很尴尬，知道你想表达什么但是在这种夸张的桥段要感同身受真的太难，Alana说自己吃药那段明明那么好的煽情桥段演得灾难，evan坦白的那场家庭戏感觉一口气还没提上来就开始泄洪，妈妈最后的so big/so small唱完好像事情就和解就此结尾看得我满心问号，最致命的是，一部这样题材的电影，我全篇也没有看到成长，所有的角色，一开始是什么样，最后还是什么样。没拍出共鸣的deh，还是略显遗憾吧。
如果你生活在太阳照不到的地方，千万不要自己放弃希望
日本媒体批评起政府部门的伪善来是不遗余力啊。话说回来，四川地震也改变了很多的人的人生轨迹，但我们鲜有影视作品会对这些故事进行一些展现。
音乐剧是一部不错的音乐剧，改编电影后，把音乐剧的缺点放大，优点减弱了，虽然补完了音乐剧里无法呈现的“细节内容”但却形成了反作用使得剧情的拖沓以及无法与歌很好地融合，如果这故事仅仅只是剧情片也会是个不错的题材，但歌是真的好听的，导演拍摄就一般了
论关注贫穷关注灾痛，#《致那些得不到保护的人》#，好在有共情力。佐藤健和阿部宽这个组合不错。
懂的都懂！要想真正看懂这部电影，需要真正了解一些日本的生活和文化氛围。

故事拍的一般，但故事反映的社会问题却很深入，值得思考
