The popular British comedy series The Vicar of Dibley is about as broad in its laughs as any Britcom, yet its heart is even bigger--no surprise since one of its key writers is Richard Curtis (Love, Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral) In A Holy Wholly Happy Ending, the plucky heroine, The Rev. Geraldine Granger (the appealing Dawn French), balances trying to invigorate the residents of her tiny rural village with an art class and book club, while grumbling about the "townies" from London snapping up the houses and draining the character from the place. But the longtime singleton ("always the vicar," she sighs, "never the bride") may change her tune when a handsome townie moves in and commences getting acquainted.

French's determinedly cheery persona is a lot of the appeal of this series, and that our sweet Reverend might find true love at last makes this two-part special extra appealing. The side humor is a trademark as well. The looks on the faces of the (all-male) art class when the first session, figure sketching, begins with the model taking off her robe may be foreseeable, but it's still nothing short of hilarious. As Geraldine would say, "let joy be unconfined!" --A.T. Hurley

Customer Reviews

Satisfying ending!
Very satisfying ending to my all time favorite TV series. Dawn French is my hero!

Great "part-one", disappointing "part-two" -- still a must see...
I gave this 5 stars -- the first episode here greatly deserves it, but the last and final episode was, as someone else here noted -- a bit flat, writing-wise. It's always diffcult to keep the last episode of a comedic series light-hearted when all of the players, writers, and crew are feeling sad and nostalgic, I suppose, but here the writing is just not up to the importance of the moment. Still the romance with the truly appealing (and pleasingly believable) Richard Armitage left things in a good place for our dear Vicar, and in the end this is an absolute must see for those who have followed the series.

The Vicar of funny!
The Vicar of Dibley-A Holy Wholly Happy Ending was the perfect finale to this series(although they could still come out with something else, fingers crossed, perhaps something to do with a Holy baby?!) I found this DVD to be utterly hilarious. Dawn French does not disappoint us nor does the supporting cast. Does the vicar find her happy ending? Nnnnnooo,no,no,no,no, YES!
