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.

两位加起来100岁了。。两星致敬两位半百老人。。看两位表演也算是童年回忆了。剧情什么的无所谓了，导演您随意，开心就好。
只能说，桑婆保养得太好，也太懂女观众心理！
很一般般，某些桥段有点好笑。男女主都很啰嗦
纯纯的爆米花片，混的不咋样的女作家和小说封面男模暧昧的一次宣传新书中碰到大富豪绑架，大富豪发现女作家的书里解谜部分意外和自己寻找的一个小岛宝藏意外契合，于是在寻宝过程中发生的各种搞笑桥段。皮特助演了一段，真的是神级演员，笑果太棒了，直接和其他人都拉出了差距
Pitt皮特戏份太少了 我完全想看他的角色和桑德拉继续谈恋爱了
前半还是有点搞笑在身上，后半太过言小。突然的卖肉福利……略尴尬。
很老套很怀旧，前半段真的蛮搞笑，后半段则是毫无悬念、难度极低的解密落险逃生。桑德拉阿姨的肉毒打得很有技巧，和钱老板轻轻松松把钱赚。
又是找几个大牌过来随便糊弄一下的电影，好随意的剧本
前半其实还不错的，笑料真的蛮好笑，但后半剧本也太敷衍了.........brad pitt的戏份已经比我想象的多了，Channing Tatum这次表演是真的让我改观了，这个智障人设看得出他有用心琢磨。但Sandra Bullock那边比起宅女小说家气质更像熟女艳星......总之还可以，当消遣没毛病
很久没看这种纯纯的低级搞笑片了，看完第二天就把内容忘了个精光。ddl的时候给自己放个假也挺好的，喜剧片就不要追求内涵了。
啥冒险元素都没有的冒险电影，又混搭了喜剧爱情之类的元素，显得不伦不类
这不行啊。演技都还行，故事太俗套，喜剧效果也不好。大胡子波特能感觉出来时想好好演戏，可是感觉太用力了。故事逻辑很多都不通，打斗，枪炮，喜剧，爱情，探险...表现都不好。整体很一般...
此刻我需要无脑快乐的电影来赶走焦虑与抑郁，这部电影真是完美实现了我的愿望，如果再把煽情也删掉就更好了。轻松、幽默还有好看的屁股，话说用浴血黑帮的配乐真是燃炸了。
首先，比《红色通缉令》高出几个《神秘海域》。 很完整，如果说当年的《危情谍战》是小妞片与特工片之间的错置，那么本片则是披着冒险外皮的纯正小妞电影，丛林和当年的都市没啥区别，桑德拉布洛克和钱宁塔图姆之间的关系演进也相当正统。至于性别？就和片中那几个manipulate的玩笑一样，只是笑料罢了
似乎和《黑寡妇》一脉相承，期待着它不止于此，但事实上真的好像只能浅尝辄止。关于无脑小说成真还有不知所云的冒险都在无功无过的轻松下水过，如果在荧幕上看可能是一种全然放松的嬉笑。台词里一些流行文化梗和热议话题的撷取可能是最好笑的地方，尤其在钱老板参演电影里cue《特种部队》。二美老师为什么不能再高一点呜呜呜！杨伯文虽然只是个短暂出场的主持人但还是好可爱好可爱！/但也因为可能之前因为卡司和票房期待有点虚高，接下来《妈的多重宇宙》和《火烧岛》或许需要稍微克制期待。
[视]派拉蒙流媒体。三肤色开场，老子，道德经，饥饿游戏，飓风营救。亮片紧身衣，光头光腚舞者，动作戏少，解谜戏少，片名<迷失Z城>，情感升华戏频繁，皮特客串，结尾有彩蛋。小岛火山，葱郁盎然，丛林摩托，瀑布攀岩，成本有限，特效还行
不過不失的愛情輕喜劇，反正只要丟掉腦子看桑姨美美美然後哈哈哈就行了。以及阿皮怎麼能那麼帥的，他為什麼那麼帥，我一個彎到掉渣的姬佬在他出場的短短二十分鐘內直接直回去了我日。
布拉德皮特就值5星，太帅了！ 挺好看的轻喜剧，帮助我又度过了一天。
2.5,白期待那么久，什么玩意儿啊，找来几个大牌都搭不到一起去，选角定位最失败的就是男主，完全不适合，这不是浪费资源嘛，这不是浪费资源嘛！
Anyway还是看完了，有这个阵容还是能看下去的
