For fans of the show only, this was an international romp starring the characters you've grown to love. Sort of.
Imagine someone had taken your favorite episode of "Are You Being Served" and padded it out to about an hour and a half, threw in a few jokes from other episodes, and shot the whole thing on film for some reason as it clearly is all done in a studio (With the exception of the airport, which I found hilarious).
That's about what they've done here. While still funny and worthwhile to sit through it can get a little tedious at times. Some of the jokes are recycled and the comedy of errors that ensues is something we've seen a half-dozen times before in the series.
I do wish they had left the entire thing in the store as the setting is as much of a cherished character as any of the cast, but I suppose for the big cinematic release they wanted to stretch a little. Even if it is just transplanting everyone from one set to an even cheaper-looking set.
If you're a fan it's totally worth a watch, just don't expect too much of it.
