Catherine Tate's iconic character Joannie Taylor AKA Nan hits the big screen as she goes on a wild road trip from London to Ireland with her long-suffering grandson Jamie to make amends with her estranged and dying sister Nell. Through a series of flashbacks, we see the young sisters fall in love with the same handsome GI during World War 2 and how the consequences of this love triangle shaped Nan into the cantankerous old b*****d she is today. Militant vegan arsonists, Australian rugby teams, all-night raves, and crazed cops on motorbikes all make for a proper day out. Hilarious, action-packed, and surprisingly moving, this film is a love letter to outrageous, outspoken old ladies everywhere.

Victoria Luxford BBC.com This is a character thats had its time, theres just nowhere particularly interesting to go, particularly when you stretch it to an hour and a half movie. Rated: 1/5 Mar 24, 2022 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A truly horrendous and depressing film about Catherine Tate’s sweary old-lady character from her sketch show, in a storyline stretched out to a brutal hour and a half. Rated: 1/5 Mar 19, 2022 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Who directed this rubbish? Rated: 1/5 Mar 19, 2022 Full Review Calum Cooper Flick Feast It almost makes one wish it were more offensive than it is. That would at least elicit an emotion other than complete weariness. Rated: 1/5 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Catherine Tate created the obnoxious elderly character Joanie 'Nan' Taylor for short skits on her BBC comedy series The Catherine Tate Show. The Nan Movie is the semi-torture of having to spend an entire road trip with this dreadful character. Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Alex Saveliev Film Threat What’s the point of it all? What does The Nan Movie want the audience to feel since it’s clearly not laughter? All that ends up lingering post-credits is slight trepidation, a faint feeling of despair for humanity. Rated: 3/10 Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Louis S I’m honestly shocked how much critics don’t like this movie it’s hilarious love it!!!! It’s a must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Lloyd P I was surprised to see that the critics have not enjoyed this movie in the slightest. To understand the movie you have to understand the character from The Catherine Tate show. It’s funny, witty, slightly crazy and heartfelt. Truly a lovely movie and a great pastime to reminisce of the childhood of many who grew up with the Catherine Tate show (such as myself). I don’t believe many people will search for the critics review of such a bespoke movie, but if in doubt just watch it and experience it for yourself. I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Lucy C This film is the pinnacle of British cinema. Better than Citizen Kane. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Lee Lottie U One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time! Funny, outrageous, full of heart. 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review simon b If you liked Nan in the TV sketch show and you enjoy silly and crass humour that takes mad twists and turns then watch it. Forget what the critics say. (We all do anyway) I must admit at first I was apprehensive to watch as Comedy show movies like Mrs Brown boys are tripe. But this had heart and laughs and twists and turns. So have a watch and give it a go. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review allan c fantasic movie, laughed the whole way through it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
