4.0 out of 5 stars Even non-python lovers will enjoy this one...., November 12, 2000
By goodoldmac "goodoldmac" (Charlotte, North Carolina United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Splitting Heirs [VHS] (VHS Tape)
You may not fall down on the floor laughing at this movie, but you undoubtly will have a smile on your face the whole time. Idle is a stock broker (or something financial like that, the exact job is sort of skipped over...)who was raised by a family of Hindus, and then finds he was adopted by them and he is the rightful heir to the dukedom belonging to his friend and boss Rick Moranis...The beautiful Barbara Hershey (a blonde here) is Idle's real mother, the even more beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones is Moranis fiancee, (and Idle's one night stand..)in one of her early appearances... and John Cleese is the shifty lawyer who decides to help Idle regain his rightful heritage by killing everyone who stands in the way...(but why does the movie,in the opening credits say "introducing John Cleese"?) Fans of the Monty Python comedy troupe will enjoy it of course, but so will those of us who aren't major fans of theirs... As I said, not a hilarous movie, but one worth watching ....

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best movie...but still pretty good!, June 28, 2005
It was a little dull at some parts but also exciting at others. The comedy's okay, has a nice ending. Catherine Zeta-Jones delivers, as usual!

5.0 out of 5 stars The only British Comedy I like, May 29, 2002
This review is from: Splitting Heirs [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Most British comedies can only be enjoyed after being drunk on Port. This one is hilarious. Many of the greatest comedy one-liners of all time is in this movie. Renting it, or better yet BUYING it, is a must.

If you are, like I am, one of the many Python freaks, then you have to agree that Eric Idle is an amazing comedic genius. However, he seems to have fallen in this. Read more
