0 to 100 fail

First of all the female co-host is hard to look at. It is hard to watch there is no charisma. And honestly who wants to have a big bald man tell you how you feel. If the contestant does not want to do something they should not force them. And what kind of expert are either one of these people. And the host let the contestant go catch his boyfriend Is in the act all by himself seriously. And when the host comes in while the 2 guys are Arguing That Tami Is not an expert is not personable and just seriously hard to watch. So in retrospect you guys should hire different people to put the show on and find some Better stories. The way they set the show up they set it up so there was definitely a confrontation where it looked like they hoped it would cause a fight.

A gentle, funny and delightfully eccentric British comedy

This is a gentle, 'feel good' comedy about three friends who decide to take a holiday together in Norfolk, and end up appearing in a local talent contest because one of them has a long-standing crush on the organizer.Its reminiscent of both 'The Darling Buds of May' and 'Four Weddings and a funeral', although played more for laughs and there is negligible swearing involved.The three women (Sara Crowe, Annette Badland and Nadia Sawalha) are good in their roles, and believable as friends. The bickering between them is especially convincing, particularly as obstacles to their goal present themselves.In supporting roles, the ever reliable Leslie Phillips does an excellent job as a piano teacher over fond of his sherry, and Tim McMullen and Guy Henry add a delightfully light touch as the two handsome and eccentric brothers with hearts of goldOverall, this is an enjoyable comedy which deserved better reviews (and a wider audience) than it received at the time of release. If the outcome is predictable, its none the worse for it and you reach the end of the film with the feeling that you have spent an enchanting and happy 90 minutes in the company of some good friends.

Frightfully old-fashioned British comedy

Originally made for the cinema, this film was deemed so awful by the distributors that it resulted in a straight-to-video release. It's easy to see why. 'Caught in the Act' desperately wants to be another 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', but it's stupid, pointless and completely unbelievable. The trio of female leads turn in terribly childish performances (especially the annoyingly-voiced Sara Crowe) and the supporting actors are even worse! With a juvenile script and stereotyped characters, the movie seems to be stuck in a 1950's timewarp.Only the acting of comedy veteran Leslie Phillips raises the level above utter farce.'Caught in the Act' is embarressing and ultimately very forgettable.
