Walked into this expecting over the top monty python wackiness but was happily surprised with John Cleeses, in some ways very simple but in some ways very clever, writing for this movie. The story runs smoothly and fast paced. Well acted characters (especially Kline's Otto) keep you interested even when some very John Cleese like humor scenes are overplayed and take over a bit too much (dog killings, Otto acting CIA). At some points thou the humor is brilliant and really struck me and i get that is the payoff to John Cleeses style.
Overall very enjoyable and the runtime went by in a quick fashion. Doesnt quite reach brilliancy for me, for that I would require a lean into something deeper than the humor and fast paced action that this picture relies on.
