Like the movie is OK but those three onscreen crawls at the end are actually the funniest text in cinema history Also love that the languages on here are listed as 'English, Italian, Russian' lmao

An english comedy with an american touch and an exceptional cast. Contains some must-see hilarious classic cinema scenes.

Funny, engaging and well made. It does carry that Monty Python signature of sophisticated silliness, but not in a way where it feels like the artists aren’t pushing themselves. I don’t think it’s Cleese’s best work by any means, but I still like we got his take on a simple, irreverent crowdpleaser. Great acting by everyone involved, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jamie Lee Curtis got her role in _True Lies_ based on this. Filmmaking is quite good, maybe it could’ve used some trimming or stronger visual work, but I like that it stylistically embraces how English it is. 7.5/10

When a quartet of conniving bank robbers pulls the perfect crime, the only variables left to chance are each other. This crooked crew has barely finished counting their profits before the backstabs and double-crosses begin, and amidst all that chaos, a depressed court barrister, a wicked old widow a More

A Fish Called Wanda swimmingly sails through a screenplay fishing for eccentricity. You may or may not already know, that comedies are not my genre of choice. The heartless individual that I am fails to grasp humour in its entirety, finding the most unusual of gags hilarious yet the most mainstream More
