  1. A wildly funny sex farce that smartly combines big-time silliness with sophisticated wit.
  2. Combining the gentle with the vulgar as only the English can, this lively comedy is bursting with character and energy.
  3. The real fun here comes from watching Mr. Kline bounding through two archly good performances, Mr. Cleese coming hilariously unstrung in the presence of Ms. Curtis and all those adorable animals.
  4. Reviewed by: Jack Mathews

    A charming mess with moments of hilarity.

    Very comedic That is a sheer delight for anyone who is able to appreciate the simple joy and please that a cute family film can bestow on the mind.
  2. Much funnier than "A fish called Wanda". This movie is a hidden gem. This movie has a great Python esk script and is well acted. I went out of my way to find this one on DVD and still watch it and laugh about once a year. What more do you want out of a movie? Collapse
