Critic Reviews

Here We Go is an instant, stone-cold comedy classic. ... As so often in great comedy, the humour gets you through the door but the characters are what keep you there. Across the board, Here We Go is wonderfully cast.

It might not be hip or edgy but it’s quintessentially British with recognisable characters, universal themes and a keen sense of mischief. A slice of family life that’s funnier than reality. Beneath that resolutely normal surface lies comedy gold.

Here We Go isn’t groundbreaking, but there is a pleasing specificity to the Jessop family’s quirks that elevates the observational humour.

Here We Go is one of those cases where the execution is so good that the fact that the concept isn’t fresh doesn’t matter.

The result is unassuming, defiantly untrendy old-school comedy. There are little shivers of sweetness in the way it bumbles along.
