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.

比较乏味，最后一看那架势就是要强行反转，果不其然，呵呵
拍的挺生涩的，但是虐心了。勇敢爱，然后又害怕承担不起，本能的逃避，内心又煎熬。青春就这样在想念与痛苦中转瞬即逝了……
片子选题满分好吧，画面说得过去（这种片画面还要是差就见鬼了）大家都在说节奏问题，我也不重复了，当然逻辑也有不小的bug。别抱太多期待，就当正常爆米花电影看是过得去的，这个完成度在青春片里也算fair enough了吧（不是特别好但比好多一点点哈哈哈哈哈）
前半段薛景求造型（不是）雖然是剛上映但應該是之前就拍了的，所以現在看著整體都特別套路化，包括所有角色/劇情/情感/反轉，好像哪都還行但就無法引起任何共鳴，可能就是太按照意料之中的規劃走了，我就說薛景求終於能換個類型了？！看到他兒子就知道後續發展，怎麼可能！ 被害者媽媽找文素利演只有這些，怎麼可能！
6.5。不同视角的校园霸凌致死事件。本片从父母的角度去讲这个故事。所有加害者的父母都在想方设法帮助自己的孩子逃避惩罚，销毁证据，买通证人，甚至没有一丝丝责怪自己的孩子。当加害者之一变成受害者，其它家庭联合起来把这个人弄成替罪羊之后，我曾以为律师会良心发现，结果并没有，电影让这群人渣垃圾到了最后。所谓的受害者其实才是罪魁祸首，律师父亲这个时候做出的选择虽然让人气愤，但是比较真实。不是每次作恶都会罪有应得，坏人逍遥法外就是本片的宗旨。
我们虽已见惯了生活中的「恶」，但当所有你认为的正义，都变身为「恶」，并叠加在一起排山倒海般袭来时，我们会依然不寒而栗且毛骨悚然。四位参与霸凌的少年父母，分别代表着医疗、警署、律政与教育的强权，这是何等用心又何等讽刺。少年们诚然可恶，但与其「上流阶级」父母们的自私、残忍与贪婪相比，他们显然更值得被原谅。之于案件本身，发人深省，但电影对于细节处理却潦草甚至降智。最后的为反转而反转真没必要，更没价值。
典型的国产类型大片，非原著爱好者也觉得无惊无喜，不过“古董动作片”这个玩法还是有趣的
为了反转而反转，被过誉了吧，属于看完就忘掉的电影
最开始看了14min因为觉得演技有些许尴尬就没看了 今天又接着看后面的剧情 实在是没办法理解 双方被请家长而且父母都那么开明（是我羡慕不来的 btw两个老爸说试过男人就不回不去了真的傻逼😅这种发言真的会想吐 ）的情况下为什么要选择分手 后来提出复合又说30岁都还是单身就结婚 什么破烂剧情啊 我简直无法理解！！（但还是不妨碍我伤心得泪流满面😅我也想和我女朋友一起看蓝宇）
这是一部如果在国内，拍摄许可证都领不到的片子
“我们怎么变得那么生分，连说话都要掌握好分寸，怕不注意流言见缝插针，怕不小心我们成陌生人。”
基本氛围在，有点徐克+达·芬奇密码味，就当商业片看呗，要啥自行车
逻辑有问题，李先表现拉胯，总体来说一般般。
评分这么低是对韩国电影有偏见吗？轻轻松松甩中国电影一百年
究竟是两个人的回忆
没看过原著的我和看过原著的老公都看的很开心。剧情挺流畅的，完成度也挺不错的，部分改动也还算合理，主题还是中国古代文化，有这种水平我已经觉得非常难得了。
评分这么低是对韩国电影有偏见吗？轻轻松松甩中国电影一百年
我们终究看不到加害者的一丝悔意，没人可以永远置身事外，但却总会有漏网之鱼……建宇说瀚杰比其他孩子更坏值得思考更深。薛叔碾压式演技（尤其是跟小卖部的阿婆反复确认被霸陵的人是瀚杰那里，每问一次都让绝望更深
前边可以 最后10分钟反转有点生硬 成人除男主 人物有些脸谱化
剧情有点奇怪证据销毁的那么充分最后还是靠一段录音反转了 虽然想过后面可能会再反转一次 但没想到是这样的反转…总之男主演技真绝了！
