Great movie. John Cleese isn’t always great in movies, but when the character is right, he’s perfect. This movie’s got a great assemblage of wacky characters, they each have massive flaws which are covered by the other characters. As a team, they can get things done… or totally screw things up. Whatever.

I saw this movie in Pattaya, Thailand in a crummy hotel room.  I was totally sick and unable to go golfing with my friends.  So, I stayed inside almost all day in a half-conscious daze.  The TV didn’t really come in very well, there was an annoying flashing horizontal line across the middle of the tiny screen.  The speakers buzzed loudly in unison with the flashing line.  I could barely hear the movie, but I watched it anyway.  It seemed to be OK… a lot like “a fish called wanda” (go figure), but not quite as good.  I’m not entirely sure what the plot even was.
