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.

高燃！最后的华山空投论剑，拼平底锅，简直燃出了一种别样的高度哈哈哈。不过文戏确实基本全快进了
没有乍看那么烂，当然整体确实还是烂，但是一些细节反倒很好。比如游戏技巧的描述，清晰可爱。父子的部分也充满了自然松弛感，非常棒。如果这种思路清晰和自然感也扩散到起到角色和剧情部分，把主线的三流剧情改改，整体就有三颗甚至四颗星的价值了。
哇，看到夜闯海洋馆那个片段真的被戳到了，有家庭，有理想，才不失为一个真正的人，映证了开头的那句“我们虽然穷，但是过的很充实”，这是很多人都羡慕的。
大概一半的制作费给了前五分钟，以及熟悉的中戏网大质感宇宙
不是。。。八点几，都认真的吗，这不就一个缝合怪。。。总不能因为是网大就无视自己的标准
父子情，昔日辉煌的落魄父亲，现实赢家的女方、自我救赎的结局。故事由中年草根逆袭的希望和期待作为起点、很快又击破这层幻想、但在结局却通过竞技精神的升华，回过来讲了一名至死都是少年的男人、在现实面前潇洒地做了一回自己的故事。对于所有沉浸在追梦路上的中年人，《硬汉枪神》仿佛一封的情书、字里行间流露出童话般的温柔和现实的荒诞，情感共鸣力极强。
7。被朋友圈刷屏后看的，真的完成度很高，个别细节不喜欢……
中规中矩，真人版吃鸡，游戏部分确实紧张刺激。
节奏有点拖沓，不过游戏还原度还蛮高的，剧情还是比较老套，但形式上却有了一定的创新，主角光环太明显的，三个队友只是为了陪衬，不过也体现了团队合作的重要性
一位90后的导演把一电子竞技类题材的网大拍到这样一定的水准，值得点赞了！
鲸鱼在金色夕阳穿梭，鱼儿在候机大厅飞过，梦想和现实交织，如梦似幻，更加印证了这句——男人永远是少年。个人感觉海洋馆出现得过早，先不说夜闯海洋馆有多么荒谬，而且电影刚过半就实现了心愿，未免泄气过早。倘若片尾演播大厅变成海底深处，视觉上会更加壮观。正如导演所言，如果发生在现实，电影本该在把孩子送给前妻那里结束，幸好这是电影，我们还能看到光芒，还能感受希望。
作为网大真是really good！剧本中规中矩，拍得是真不错。不管是演员表演，还是模拟出的那种游戏质感，还有各种细节…都非常抓人。最重要的是，它燃啊！！loser逆袭，每场比赛的节奏感，递进感，延宕，到最后的胜利，都拍出来了~~作为一个不玩游戏的人都觉得好好看呀！
放在网大圈里算是精品了，起码在对于游戏的感知上，比唐人街探案网剧的那个和平精英的部分像样的多。
梗还是挺多的
难以相信一部网大竟然拍的如此有诚意。游戏部分可能只会让一些没有接触过吃鸡游戏的人感到困惑。但是只要稍稍了解吃鸡游戏，就能感到游戏相关内容并不是呼弄人的，充满了细节（如果真是吃鸡玩家，也是能挑出一堆毛病的）。除了游戏之外的故事性也非常好，有对直播行业现状的描写，老电竞人的心酸，父子之间的真情实感，资本对市场的操作等，甚至还吐槽了一下学区房，当然也有狗血YY的漂亮女粉情节。电影里的游戏场面均为实景真人拍摄，还原度相当之高，第一视觉和第三视觉的切换，运镜剪辑和表现方式都抓住了游戏的精髓，特别是39分钟那场换座位1V3，简直神来之笔。最后一战过于理想主义充满了戏剧性。几个主演特别是小朋友的演技也可圈可点。肖汉和大佬贤让我想起了20年前也曾背着鼠标键盘打着CS魔兽比赛，憧憬未来的自己。
嚯，网大要是都像这种质量，那该多好，拍的真不错，各种细节很还原游戏，比如车内不能开枪，还有不少笑点。
游戏场面很带感，让不玩游戏的人也有兴趣试一把。无明星的小成本做成这样真的很棒。3.5星
武戏部分还算不错，文戏部分由于剧情套路等等还是偏弱，有态度有思考，期待看到导演真正的动作商业片上线。
边看边笑边想哭的一部真人吃鸡电影，一个现实生活中一无是处的爸爸领着一个老被欺负的儿子，取名叫太阳，意喻孩子的未来像太阳般温暖灿烂，生活场景完美的复刻，没有刻意煽情却很励志，最让我感动的细节是虽然男主生活落魄，但在儿子的作文里确实英雄，还好最后男主称得上这个好爸爸的称号～～
无法理解这高分和那么多的好评，难道是因为我不懂？这不是电竞版的《少林足球》吗？？？谭晓凡小姐姐真好看啊。
