A comedy movie starring a Gavin and Stacey actor that was slammed by ‘abysmal’ as one viewer has been made available to watch on Netflix.

Released in 2022, The Nan Movie was written by Catherine Tate and Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein.

Based on the TV series Catherine Tate’s Nan, which aired for four specials between 2009 and 2015, the film follows the titular character who travels to Ireland to visit her dying sister.

It all kicks off when Joanie ‘Nan’ Taylor receives a letter from her younger sister Nell (Katherine Parkinson) revealing she’s dying.

While Nan’s grandson Jamie (Mathew Horne) wants to go visit her, the cantankerous Nan is more reluctant by eventually agrees, with the pair setting off on a road trip that features ‘militant vegan arsonists, raucous rugby teams, all night raves and crazed cops on motorbikes’.

However, when the film was released, it was largely panned by critics and currently holds a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In its review, The Guardian called it a ‘truly horrendous and depressing film’ while The Daily Telegraph labelled it ‘rubbish’

Meanwhile Empire said it was ‘lacking in charm and good jokes’.

Their sentiments were echoed by viewers too.

‘What was this movie? It was cringey, boring, and very stupid. Worst movie I have ever seen to be honest,’ Regina wrote.

‘This move is abysmal. The plot doesn’t fit. The comedy is anything but and the movie is simply rubbish. Don’t waste your time watching this, you can and should do better,’ Daniel commented.

‘I was disappointed with this movie. It felt drawn out and had no real depth. Shame, because I love the Nan character,’ another added.

Despite this, others did throw their support behind the flick.

‘I’m honestly shocked how much critics don’t like this movie it’s hilarious love it!!!! It’s a must see,’ Louis shared.

‘One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time! Funny, outrageous, full of heart. 10/10,’ Lee declared.

‘Ignore the bad reviews! I thought it was hilarious and heartfelt. If you love the ‘Nan’ character then you’re gonna love her movie!’ another fan wrote.

Although this project of Mathew’s was largely considered a flop, fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming final episode of Gavin and Stacey, which will air on Christmas Day.

Speaking to Square Mile recently, Mathew admitted the set was ‘tinged with a bit of sadness’.

‘For a lot of people, myself included, it’s been such a fundamental part of my career and therefore my life. Gavin and Stacey has defined my career and will continue to define my career. That’s really amazing. It’s also very meaningful,’ he said.

He added the last day of filming was ‘overwhelming’ and that there were ‘a lot of tears from everyone’.

The Nan Movie is streaming on Netflix.
