This one’s quite a funny movie whose plot revolves around a jewel theft and the subsuequent chaos when some of the participants try to run away with the loot after double crossing the others. It stars Kevin Kline (who won an Oscar for his role), Michael Palin, John Cleese and Jamie Lee Curtis. What works for this movie more that the situations is the characterizations of the lead actors.
Kevin Kline plays a really dumb guy who thinks he’s an intellectual and hates being called stupid while Palin is an animal lover who has a heavy stutter…it is these two characters who generate the maximum number of laughs. The rest of the cast too is quite effective. Though it is silly at times, on the whole a nice comedy which should keep you smiling.
One of the funniest films ever made.
