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.

报看，你说破大天也报看，笑不出来，还不如羞羞的铁拳好笑。还有一些烂俗的大道理，好无聊，看春晚要被教育，看综艺要被教育，现在看开心麻花也要被教育了吗？还有作为一个前段时间狠狠磕到沈马cp的人感觉被诈骗了，不会是为了这个戏提前铺垫的宣传手段吧，玩不过你们，下头了。
唯一多余的就是那一份没有必要的爱情，其实与袋鼠之间的友情，对家乡的思念，对信念的坚定，才是最难能可贵的。人在最孤独最无助的时候，最需要的是希望和信念。
全片最不尬不矫揉造作的台词是“滚”后的“是！”
很沈腾 很开心麻花 沈腾一个人撑起来一台戏 但也就沈腾一个人
沈腾把这个角色的自命不凡和自我感动表现得淋漓尽致，从侧面衬托出导演自高自大的拍摄态度和自不量力的拍摄水准。若客官有自信挑战这部这部充满自欺欺人煽情段落和令人想要自我了结配乐的作品，请注意按摩椅按摩时长设置不要超过30分钟。
倒没有到有笑有泪那么那么优秀，看到后面有点感动，但还不至于哭，到是想问喜剧片为什么要煽情。韩国漫画改编的，本士化落地还可以，还算接地气。在开心麻花电影里面不算笑点密集的，但是你要看整体，整体剧情还是说得过去的，肯定请了顾问了，还加入了“广寒宫号”“万户撞击坑”。长存湖月海”这些探月成果的科学名词。还有一小
沈腾用了最好的演技但是因为剧本我完全代入不进去。各种蹩脚的笑点和谐音梗，以及各种硬煽情的戏份，完全不如年初的《这个杀手不太冷静》。
笑中带泪、哭得撕心裂肺的时候又恰大好处的让你笑出来——“你不是个人” 哈哈哈哈😂
电影的主题很难提炼出是侧重笑点，还是末日救人类的英雄故事，剧情信息量很大，一部电影容纳了五部电影的剧情，反转够多，完成度是挺高的。视听方面构图、分镜头、景别很花哨有点类似短视频的剪辑手法，例如二分屏三分屏等，特效够自然。笑点和泪点都在预期之中，我喜欢《异形》所以插曲《Take Me Home， Country Road》也挺喜欢的。另外，男女主感情戏有点勉强，部分涉及物理学的剧情逻辑漏洞，我觉得没必要纠结了哈哈。7.28点映
评分「7.0」
救命🆘，我真的接受不了一些只会让人尴尬的过时老梗和毫无物理逻辑的科幻
很难受，因为之前非常喜欢《夏洛特烦恼》，也不知道是不是时间久了我脑内自动美化，得去重温一遍。但这一部我好失望。夸张的演技，令人抗拒的人物形象，名字叫《独行月球》，也没有真的“独行”，想拍摄个人英雄主义的影片，却又摆脱不了集体英雄主义的背景。
疫情之后的第一场电影，好笑就行了，感谢没让沈腾复活（沈腾真的帅了，热搜没骗我）
后1/3段多抒情（倒也没有强行煽情）而且剧情进展变慢了，包袱也少了，没有前面那么精彩。
科幻喜剧这块真是给开心麻花玩明白了，特效水准真的完全不虚，喜剧梗也都不尬。可以说是目前开心麻花完成度最好的商业喜剧。虽说是一个舔狗拯救人类的故事，但那是沈腾马丽诶，就会觉得浪漫多过荒诞，有喜剧加持也不会觉得过于煽情。很喜欢这种不顾一切的独行。“乘着风，变成流星，坠入你的心底。”
前半段不好笑，后半段不好哭，沈腾以及一众配角的笑点显得很初级，甚至不如这个杀手不太冷静，煽情剧情发展很好猜。结构倒是完整但是没有出彩的片子，相对于沈腾其他出演的作品只能打五十分
但故事逃脱不了开心麻花一味的俗套，屌丝追女神的剧情，老套的笑点，能让人眼前一亮的笑点安排太少，全靠沈腾的喜剧功力支撑，喜剧部分明显不如夏洛特烦恼与西虹市首富，奔着喜剧来的朋友可能会失望了。
剧情老套、煽情尴尬、价值观俗浅，整体感觉没有用心。
简直就是火星救援的大壳子，然后往里面塞一些开心麻花必不可少的烂段子，用小品的内容和表现手法硬生生塞成了一部电影。
在“这也太假了这也叫科幻”和“算了吧它是个喜剧不用那么严谨”之间徘徊。男女主人物关系让我想到云天明和程心。
