“Why did this receive such a low rating? This is a delightfully funny farce that had me on the floor. Itu0026#39;s so hilarious! It goes through with its intention of being a fast-paced, old-fashioned farce mixed with the good olu0026#39; comedy of errors. The cast is superb. I only wish Dudley Moore couldu0026#39;ve been given a funnier part – this is definitely one of his more thankless roles. Unfortunately, this was one of his last roles, if not the last. But he was still an incredible comic actor and he will surely be missed. Richard Griffiths, who I remember as the cripple in u0026quot;Naked Gun 2 1/2,u0026quot; is extremely funny. Bryan Brown plays it straight as a bewildered hitman, and does a fantastic job. I also liked that woman who played his eventual love interest – she has some very funny scenes. And man-oh-man is Patsy Kensit a hottie or what?!!!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe script is contrived and most of the gags are forced, but I give the writer/director an u0026quot;Eu0026quot; for effort. Itu0026#39;s hard to pull off a wacky farce like this with great precision. It was done excellently in u0026quot;Ruthless People,u0026quot; but not every farce can be like u0026quot;Ruthless People.u0026quot; I said it before and Iu0026#39;ll say it again, the sense of humor donu0026#39;t lie. If Iu0026#39;m roaring with laughter, obviously the film did its job. And I was roaring all right! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enMy score: 7 (out of 10)”
