Mark’s rants helping my family & me cope with lock-down. Cheers Mark 👍🏼

[@CheeseSarny]

My 1 year old nephew started crying when Mark did his Danny Dyer impression.

[@tomshaw8407]

😂

[@jackmurphy6864]

Well, he's 12 now - you can make him cry again by forcing him to watch this film ;)

[@midianholic]

DANNY DYYYYYYERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@BaronVonPenguin]

I highly suggest you rent The Football Factory for two reasons: 1) The opening line where he's fighting in slow motion followed by the line " 'avin it facking laaarge" 2) The end of the film where he asks "Was it all wurf it? Co'ss it facking was" Possibly the most unintentionally hilarious film I ever saw..

[@waufflessss]

I like how over the past couple of years Mark's impression of Mr. Dyer has gone from an OTT cockney accent to an eardrum-puncturing animalistic yelp with no discernable consonants

[@barrychuckleisdead7345]

This film cost £900,000 to make. In the opening weekend is grossed £602. Not £602 thousand, just £602. LOL.

[@nifralo2752]

That clip looked like it was filmed in ikea. Jon Pertwee's Doctor Who looked better than this.

[@thebagelsproductions]

70s Soviet cinema looked better than this

[@Maindrian]

"Three years from now, you'll go through a cosmic storm and end up in a parallel universe. You'll materialise on an exact replica of Earth in the year 2013. You'll want to go to the cinema. Whatever you do, don't go and see Run For Your Wife.'

[@FredFuchs77]

I’m a friend of Harold PintAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@pov_music]

@Withnail hes also related to royalty, doesn't change the fact hes Danny Doiyyyah though

[@MrBeasled]

01:45 Danny Dyer standing on a rake, Neil Morrisey sitting on a cake. You've got to have a system.

[@afrorhcp]

Had to check the trailer, and it's true.

[@krisinsaigon]

Denise Van Outen eating hake, Lionel Blair on the take

[@hanshotfirst1138]

I don't think this got released in the US. Which judging by this review, is fine.

[@mattlohr]

Honestly; the funniest line in this might be Simon saying “it DID make me want to drop my trousers” 😀

[@tardiscrew6766]

Lol in 2019 this review is still hilarious

[@alansmith4655]

Tardis crew Kermode’s back catalogue of rants is basically therapy for me.

[@SansAppellation]

Simon Mayo is a saint

[@peterd788]

How did Danny Dyer get to be in so many films?

[@pietrpiepir6444]

@@peterd788 He has dirt on everyone

[@ineverfold1506]

For Nerds 😂

[@kermodeandmayo]

What a strange non sequitur. Run For Your Wife is about as far from being a 'Gangsta' film as it's possible to get.

[@dominicbreen9851]

It's weird but the most insufferable thing for me in that clip from the film is the hideous colour scheme of the set and costume combined with the awful bright lighting

[@nifralo2752]

Yeah its so glossey and garish. It looks like an ikea advert. Or like a tv shoe for toddlers

[@nkt1]

High key lighting, probably because it's cheaper.

[@stevethomas74]

"Graveyard of comedy" hahahahahahahahahahahahahha This is why I love the good doctor

[@SIGNIFYING_NOTHING]

DANNY DOIYAAA impression 2:17

[@jameshunt6414]

"They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian... They aren't laughing now!"

[@thebagelsproductions]

Classic. Monkhouse

[@glenhomer22]

"...Harold Pintaarrrrrrr!" 2:26

[@gun1987gunn]

Mark Kermode needs to do stand up impressions. They are gold. Danny Dyeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@tommyhowsthepeeping]

DAAANY DIIIAAAAHH

[@iangascoigne8231]

Danny Dyer and Neil Morrissey two giants of British acting.

[@cam21333]

6.26 'Dyer, DYER!' Always makes me laugh lol

[@selinakyle2368]

😂😂😂😂

[@Argondish]

On the poster they should remove "BEST OF BRITISH" and swamp it with review quotes : "DAYDAAAAA!" -Mark Kermode. "FOR THE FIRST TIME, I NEVER FOUND DANNY DYER FUNNY" -Mark Kermode. "I ACTUALLY FELT RELIEVED WHEN CHRISTOPHER BIGGINS CAME ON" -Mark Kermode. "FEELS THE NECESSITY TO DENIGRATE ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY TO THE LOWEST KIND OF GROSS STEREOTYPE" -Mark Kermode. "UNBELIEVABLY OUTMODED 'ARE WE STILL ALLOWED TO DO THAT?' GAGS" -Mark Kermode. "IT DID MAKE ME WANT TO DROP MY TROUSERS" -Simon Mayo.

[@_.alex.-]

This is the greatest review ever, including the greatest impression ever.

[@OsofoGriot]

And now, a lesson in taking comments from a critic out of context and using it to advertise your film - "It is ASTONISHING" -Mark Kermode, Critic.

[@NxDoyle]

That clip...oh my face eating Christ.

[@georgefoord7268]

wished there was a danny dyer film every week so I could hear that danny dyer voice hahaha by kermode

[@timnothome3543]

LOL please make an EastEnders scene where kermode kicks dyer's ass screams Danny dyer slam's a bin canister on him then runs off screaming DANNY DYYYYER LOL

[@feedbackmerchant]

Love Mark's Danny Dyer impression

[@messthetics]

This will become a cult classic. It's defo up there with Gone With The Wind and Confessions Of A Window Cleaner

[@TheSpecialGuestStars]

The poster says it all... this film should have been called 'RAKE FOR YOUR CAKE'.

[@MovieMoan]

I've been waiting for this review all week. It didn't disappoint.

[@TheEraser92]

Came for the doctors DONNY DYOOR impression Leave very satisfied

[@kiproslofitis2016]

I think it would be fair if Mark Kermode got a chance to play a hard man on screen - so that Danny Dyer can get his revenge by laughing at him.

[@niemanickurwa]

Jesus, that looks painfully bad.

[@_McCullochDavid]

I doubt this film could be anywhere near as good as Mark's review and impression of Dyer

[@Kuntyful]

I love "Cool It Carol"...

[@JongeMatador]

"Not a haard man, but a com'dy staaahh"!

[@mistercarlton]

Spot on and hilarious.Mark, not the film....

[@hartforp]

Would love to be at the "function " where Dyer meets Kermode!

[@DrJackFaust]

Probably, but I've been referring to Dyer as DANNYDOYAAAAA for days now.

[@RhodesidesReviews]

That DANNY DYEOORR was priceless

[@dw2062]

Would anyone else love to watch a film in which Mark played Danny Doyaaaaah?

[@Kuntyful]

LOL!... please, more of this...

[@beedoubleyou_]

@tedwards77, did you produce/fund/star-in Run For Your Wife?

[@MrPHILDABASS]

This is up there with Sex & The City 2 and Pirates 3 for the last 30 seconds alone.

[@fozziebumble8361]

As much as I agree with Mark about Danny can't we take a moment to reflect on how truly appalling demise van outen is , she is utterly bereft of any talent .

[@Luvie1980]

Why is she famous?

[@alexl2475]

Luvie1980 because she's pretty

[@pov_music]

Love it when Danny Dyer does self-parody.

[@andylikegandhi]

Worth watching for Mark's Danny Dyer impression alone.

[@kermodeandmayo]

Yes, he definitely saw the film. (Producer Simon)

[@shunka9]

I`d really like to know what Mark thinks about "Severance".Surely that`s a Danny Dyeeer film with some good points (to be honest I actually really enjoyed it!)

[@p0tatob0ys]

And now he's in Eastenders playing a 'lovable Cockney rogue'. I assume.

[@jc13jach3]

Danny Dyer might've seen this review as he recently mentioned Makr Kermode on his Twitter. Ooooooh.

[@adriantownsend2317]

...I remember years ago at a theatre, they were promoting a new touring version of this play and selling copies of this film for £5.99....never heard about the new touring version since!

[@Toosimoo]

Saw Mr Dyer in the thumbnail and I had to watch this.

[@patrickrichards4459]

Personally I thought it was a power house of a performance by Dyer, to me reminiscent of Brando in ' On the Waterfront '

[@colinr0380]

"Ae coulda bin a contendar, innit?"

[@thebagelsproductions]

Denise Van Outen is the new Yves Marie Saint

[@kermodeandmayo]

Last time I looked it was made in 2012.

[@somanytakennames]

OOOHHHHHHRRRRR!!!

[@taffwob]

Was that a Red Dwarf reference? For some reason I can see Dave Lister saying it.

[@steveader]

Hard to make the central premise of bigamy, FUNNY, but it can be done, if you have a lead character actor that can make himself a vulnerable, loveable rogue. Dyer is none of the above.

[@drinkwater319]

Denise van Outen is an appalling actress. She gurns like mad and her delivery of lines is so wooden how did she ever get the part!! The Girls Aloud girl is actually not a bad actress...the zombie girls Danny Dyer film is excellent, I loved it.

[@Luvie1980]

Why is she famous again? Because she dated Jay Kay?

[@dmd7472]

My happy place. One of the real greats

[@JA-yz8eq]

The film is on KZbin movies in full FOR FREE but 'isn't available' .. gee i wonder why!!!

[@BlueberryPicturesTM]

I was referring as to why you have something against Danny Dyer. Didn't mention the film at all fella.

[@MikeWilliamsMikePWilliams]

Magnificent. Sounds like Danny has surpassed even his abysmally low standard.

[@tomgrant29]

This is right up there with the Sex & the City 2 review - love it!

[@halesnluke]

Worth it for Mark's rant about the acting great Danny Dyer, lol.

[@Charlieh1989]

0:34 click repeatedly for maximum effect or 2:26

[@3djooboy]

The review is funnier than the film

[@VERMISIMILITUDE]

D’nny Duuuuuyaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gricka31]

Kermode does the best Danny Dyer accent.

[@Virdeus]

There's something about bad comedy that makes it worse than any other kind of bad movie, and there's something about bad British comedy that makes it worse than vivisection.

[@stevh88]

I watched it earlier and thought it would be so bad it was good. Its unbelievable that its a real thing. I dont believe anyone can watch the whole thing. Stream this illegally and rent this is the end.

[@deliman]

Danny Dyaaaahhhahh!

[@gregpearson1939]

This movie has a very impressive cast!!!!!

[@DTM4581]

Danny Dyer Reah

[@GlenGlingo9]

"Genial British comedy, YAH!"

[@mockingbirdred]

If 1800 people had been there, it would have made more than £602. Therefore you're wrong. Unless cinema tickets are £3 each in London. And literally no other cinema had anyone come and see it.

[@Luvie1980]

How does Danny Dyer still get work?

[@Henderburn2]

I'm from Canada so I don't know Danny Dyer's past, but he's supposed to be "hard"? He's a little dude.

[@ragequitpictures]

this film looks dyer.

[@BlueberryPicturesTM]

This guy clearly has something against Danny Dyer. I reckon he secretly wants to be in gangsta films.

[@45nothings]

was this comment written by Danny Dyer?

[@ninfilms]

I love Cool It Carol. My question is if this film is classified a sex farce like the Confessions films why is it a 12?

[@mogwai250]

nice deadpan you have there sir

[@notmyname9261]

I will disagree with one thing, not everyone can play a hardman. Not well at least. There's a reason Lock Stock has an ex-footballer and bareknuckle boxer in the cast!

[@wynne1975]

Pow, right in the kisser!

[@JFBridge]

A few octaves too high,but still very funny impression of Danny DYERRRRRRRR!

[@greatpoochini1]

Danny dire.

[@Hollowshape]

"Graveyard of a comedy."

[@felyxmillicent6538]

Starring DA DOOOYYAAAA!!!!!!

[@user-dq9de3cx7e]

Its a Dyer Comedy.

[@FightingCoward]

So did he like it or not then?

[@Alfalotter]

youtube upload 909, nice :D

[@AcousticTreat]

Funny review though

[@rafaelnadalismyboo]

Hello

[@jayrockwell33]

The real reason behind the 'limited' cinema run: YT search 'Reason for limited screenings Ray Cooney' a master of classic UK farce comedy explains, seems fair enough.

[@spiderjerusalem100]

I enjoyed Danny Dyer in The Business, Severance and Human Traffic although he does play exactly the same character of a cockney geezer in every movie. This movie however, looks brain-meltingly terrible.

[@JA-yz8eq]

My God this is still soooooo baddddddd hilarious

[@NateObiri]

Mark watch out for ur 'cannister!'
