Hardly lavishly cinematic, the TV show's transition to the big screen does make an effort to appear a bit more expansive but essentially plays like a TV special. The movie will work well with the younger fans of the series, but to adults the very hit-and-miss jokes and lulls in advancement may be trying, and the signature music numbers will induce eye-rolling. The young cast members are pleasant, and the numerous veteran Brit-com actors clearly enjoy themselves. There are some nicely-used running gags, Craig Roberts is always watchable as the petulant childish young Nero, and the whole enterprise is harmless but hardly essential.
