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.

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

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.

It almost makes one wish it were more offensive than it is. That would at least elicit an emotion other than complete weariness.

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.

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

Typical Catherine Tate Rubbish! Doing the same jokes over and over, the problem was these jokes weren't funny to begin with, Tate should really think about a career change because acting and comedy really arent for her.

Not sure where to start. It must have been a tax dodge or something. No point to it and while Catherine Tate sketch show was great this is absolutely shocking. The fact that someone wrote it, financed it and got it made is one of life’s mysteries. All the script writers in the world creating interesting stories and film ideas and someone thought no… well make this instead. I’ll blame my gf for actually watching it all the way through but feel hours have been stolen.

Funny, heartfelt and lighthearted, completely disagree with the critics all jumping on the bandwagon. A great character from the brilliant Catherine Tate show from a time where everyone was a lot less offended.

A Surprisingly good movie, didn't expect much from an old age sketch show character but a decent enough film with it's ups and downs, some bits don't make a lot of sense but its heart warming enough to forget about it and just enjoy a movie that's just has silly & heartwarming to the end.
