The central message of Buddhism is not "every man for himself".

Perfect in every way.

10/10

John Cleese's best script. Can't improve it in any way.

What everyone else said. Also it was a good blending of American and British comedians and actors, a good ensemble. From Kline sticking the french fries up Palin's nose to the part about the power of speaking Italian, it was a lot of fun.

Brilliant commedy. The muffed up attempts to kill the old lady. The unintentional beat down of the magistrate. Swallowing the poor man's fish. Plus, a wonderful opening robbering set to an excellent score.

I know this one. It is rather droll. 8 out of 10 points.

One of my favorite movies, if not my very favorite movie. I discovered it on HBO years ago and fell inlurve with it, and I forced Mr. X to watch it last year, and he luved it too. I also liked Fierce Creatures, but it doesn't compare to Wanda.

Bought this on DVD, per Korrgan's request, and despite some apprehension, I did end up loving it. Easily one of my favorite comedies. One of those movies you watch over and over again.

Grade: A
