• Silicon Valley: The Complete Series | DVD | (07/12/2020) from £40.10   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  From the irreverent minds of Mike Judge (Office Space, Beavis and Butt-Head) and Alec Berg (Barry, Curb Your Enthusiasm) comes this satirical HBO® comedy that takes viewers inside the world of tech start-ups and the socially awkward misfits trying to navigate their lucrative potential. Featuring a talented ensemble of young comic actors, including Thomas Middleditch, Zach Woods, Kumail Nanjiani and Martin Starr, Silicon Valley® charts the rising fortunes of Richard, an introverted computer programmer stuck working parttime at a large tech company called Hooli. But when a mid-level Hooli executive is apprised of Richard's novel compression algorithm, Richard finds himself caught in the middle of an extreme bidding war between Hooli founder Gavin Belson and independent billionaire venture capitalist Peter Gregory.

  Though it's a reboot of a classic slapstick series, The Three Stooges fits right into Peter and Bobby Farrelly's filmography. Throughout their comedies, especially Dumb and Dumber, they've always championed the clueless and clumsy, and that describes this trio perfectly: Moe, Larry, and Curly (Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes, and Will Sasso, taking over from Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, and Jim Carrey). In the prologue or first "episode" (two more will follow), an unseen character drops three babies off at a Catholic orphanage. At first, the nuns (Jane Lynch, Jennifer Hudson, and Larry David--yes, Larry David) take delight in the spirited infants with the strange hairstyles, but 10 years later, their antics have worn thin. A well-heeled couple (Stephen Collins and Carly Craig) considers adoption, but things don't work out, so 25 more years pass, during which they become the orphanage's bumbling handymen, which necessitates further head-bonks, nyuk-nyuk-nyuks, and woo-woo-woos. When the threat of closure comes to the only home they've ever known, the boys set out to save the day. This leads them to a wealthy woman (Sofía Vergara), her lover (Craig Bierko), and her father-in-law (Collins), encounters that bring them to the attention of MTV's Jersey Shore, which provides a solution to their dilemma. The Farrellys may have their hearts in the right place, but The Three Stooges ranks as their weakest effort to date. The cast does what they can, but the script is terminally unfunny, and the frenetic direction only drives the point home. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
