COMIC BRILLIANCE!!!! - By: Mr. D. mcgrath, 15 Apr 2008 
I love this film - especiallly the bit when the fantastic Paula Wilcox character Chrissie pretends she can't play cards then you see her shuffle the pack (obviously someone else's hands) like a professional croupier.
The late great Yootha Joyce will also have you laughing your guts up.
Genius!!!
Hilariously homely - By: Mr. Simon C. Lewis, 14 Jul 2007 If there was one thing that ITV never managed, it was producing a decent sitcom - with one exception: Man About The House. Better still, in an age when more or less every comedy series was granted its own big-screen adaptation, this particular feature left most of the rest trailing hopelessly at a distance. A wonderfully nostalgic & very watchable 1970s creation that has become a window onto a bygone world. Brimming with ghastly fashions, bulky telephones, cars with round headlights & legendary Routemaster buses, this is one of those films that will indeed take you back. The Big 6 - lascivious Robin, dim-witted Jo, level-headed Chrissy, the dysfunctional Ropers & Jack-the-Lad Larry - are on top form. Sustained by a plausible storyline (for once), gentle comedy, some highly entertaining big-name cameos, & a serious performance from Arthur Lowe as the ruthless property tycoon, this was one movie spin-off which didn't leave a feeling of disappointment, after the fun & excitement of the TV series (though I reckon Paula Wilcox had a lot do with that). As the phrase has it, they don't make 'em like this any more, but in those days there was real talent about; enjoy the evidence.

A little dated now but so likeable you have to watch again - By: , 27 Jul 2000 This film is based on the british tv series of the same name & was imitated -badly I am told - in america as 'Three's Company' although I have not seen this. It fits into part of the series even though it was seperately comissioned & scripted & produced. Athough the british series is good it unfortunately ends with Chrissy (Paula Wilcox) fallling for another man when we alll thought & hoped that eventuallly she would go off with Robin (Richard O'Sullivan) & another, fairly dreadful, series was made continuing Robin Tripp's life in 'Robin's Nest' where he was the chef in his own struggling restaurant. I have detracted from the point now which is this is a very enjoyable film, very funny, & you'll end up fancying the female characters (Paula Wilcox, Sallly Thomsett) by the end,well if your like me. BUY IT NOW!
warmly funny and cool - By: S. Clark, 09 Mar 2000 Being a yank, I gamely slogged through the first few episodes of the horrible american immitation, "Three's Company". This movie version of the British original is head & shoulders better. And it's such a commentary on american prudishness that the male lead, Jack Trip (Robin, in the UK), had to pretend he was gay to fool the landlord, and, when behind closed doors, never expressed a romantic interest in his flatmates. Not so in the UK. Amazing.
