Date undefinedMonty Python's John Cleese once again offers up a spectacular example of what makes him such a revered comedic force. Written by Cleese and set in London, this comedy has the drama of a bank robbery and subsequent legal proceedings and a romantic twist. Yet, this is not a "chick flick" by any means. Cleese's Monty Python buddy Michael Palin delivers a stellar performance as the stuttering hold-up sidekick, as JC plays the barrister (defense lawyer) for the man who organized the robbery. Again...since Cleese wrote it and sets it in London, there are only 2 American main characters (which in typical British form) Cleese busts on by giving them playfully negative American stereotypes: Jamie Lee Curtis plays a girl who will (let's keep it clean) "hook up with" and then stab in the back anyone who can make her rich. And Kevin Kline plays an obnoxious, loud-mouthed vulgarian who pretends to be smart and classy, but truly shows no intelligence and is gauche and tasteless. Don't take it too seriously though, my fellow Americans....this movie is great fun! The story unfolds beautifully, and the subtly developing romance between Cleese and Curtis (which begins as an opportunistic ruse by Curtis that blossoms into something more) is handled quite well. For fans of British comedy, there are also small appearances by other British stars such as Geoffrey Palmer and Steven Frye as well. Cleese, who has given us so much in the world of comedy, delivers once again! 5 stars to this wonderful comedy classic!
