All that yelling
11 February 2019
I tried this movie twenty years ago in the 90s and I thought I just wasn't in the proper mood for it then, because I did not like it much. Now I watched it again because everybody else on IMDb seems to like it, if not love it. Everyone in this film overacts horribly and the only one who should be doing that is Peter O'Toole because of his flamboyant character. Not only that but every other person in this thing is almost constantly screaming their lines. The pacing is all off and the jokes stink; and most are recycled from better sources anyway. I could not watch five minutes at a time without muting it or pausing it. O'Toole getting drunk, horny and silly every other scene gets old after about ten occurrences. I cannot believe all the stellar reviews on here, unless all the critics were tipsy or high when they first saw it back when it first came out. Avoid if you like funny comedies that are more subtle, like "The Three Stooges." Also, I don't think Jessica Harper (KC) is pretty or talented as an actress.
