1.0 out of 5 stars A stinker, February 14, 2005
By C.A. Arthur (Tacoma, Washington) - See all my reviews
Stay away from this one! I bought it for the casting. How could anything starring Diana Rigg, John Cleese, Felicity Kendal, and Oliver Reed be bad? It is. Very.

The plot is predictable, and there isn't a smile, let alone a laugh in the whole of the film, billed as a "black comedy." Indeed, the movie hasn't a single redeeming feature. The music is irritating, and even the photography isn't very well done. Oh yes, and Rigg was 25 years too old to play the part she was given. See her in bed with a man easily old enough to be her son. Mercifully, we were spared a nude scene. In short: a stinker.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad movie. Not funny at all., July 26, 2008
There no funny scenes here. It's boring from the beginning till the end.

It's a huge waste of money and time. I'm glad I rented it instead of buying.
