After a number of Pink Panther movies the best comedy ever. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this movie. Cleese and Curtis are on a roll. Much funnier than the Monty Python movies. 5 stars

Decent movie. The story is fun with no one trusting each other in fact. British humor sometimes suits me, but I did laugh a few times. Comedies are often pretty bland, but the story here is sufficient and there are also enough "good" jokes in it. Cleese actually provides most of the humor. My parents have been saying for years that this is a rock-solid movie. If that's how they remember it, fine, but my impression is rather average. It certainly has its moments and some memorable scenes. Jamie Lee Curtis is playing some femme fatale or not? Nice to have seen once, but I don't see it more like a 7/10.

Every time this movie comes on TV, I make up my mind to watch it in its entirety, but so far I've never been able to. The humor is too old for that, the story too dull, and the actors too unattractive. But everyone is always very excited about this movie, so next time I will definitely give it another try to see it to the end.
