Guess I was the only one who didn't like this movie. Slow and disjointed cinematography and story telling, none of the characters are likable, none of the jokes are funny. With a 2024 lens some bits are especially cringey.

After realising that I hated them all I guessed that [spoiler]Jamie Lee Curtis and John Cleese would end up "winning" in the end[/spoiler]. Jamie Lee Curtis' character was manipulative, did some sexual assaults and evil. John Cleese was an idiot (seriously!? this esteemed lawyer couldn't figure out the woman was who was a key witness in the case he was working on, was only trying to figure out where the hidden loot was?) and he was cheating on his wife, (who was admittedly quite horrid too).

The point where I was about to turn it off was the scene where Otto is putting chips up Ken's nose. I was so bored I decided to google if this film was actually even highly rated, and the first result revealed that someone died laughing at this chip scene. I mean, I know modern humour has evolved a lot but damn, it wasn't even mildly funny. He just puts chips up the guy's nose. That's the whole joke.

It feels like humour for children, but at the same time the film is quite sexually explicit and has lots of swearing, so it's not for children.
