Comedy   2008-09-30
By Justin Bise (Tennessee USA)
I bought this from the cast list and it was worth the buy. Very funny and the great cast makes the movie fun to watch.
Better than I thought it would be   2008-05-02

This is not a great movie, but it's a good movie. It's not the slapstick laugh riot I expected, but it did make me laugh. I give it four stars because I think Eric underplayed his character, and his performance came off a bit too laconic for my taste. You may have a different opinion. The story idea is funny: two babies abandoned at birth and mistakenly placed with the wrong families meet again purely by coincidence, and one spends much of the movie trying to do the other in, with (predictably) hilarious results. But it's hard to believe that Tommy and Henry are the same age--Eric is rather wrinkled for a supposedly 30-year-old man. And it's hard to believe that Tommy hasn't figured out he's not Pakistani. I think that was supposed to be funny, but it didn't work that way for me. The good news is that it comes off nicely and is fun to watch. Eric's turn as Tommy's hippie dad in the beginning of the movie is great--he looks spot-on like Sonny Bono. Rick is a likeably quirky character, and the only honest one of the bunch. John Cleese is brilliant as the sleazy lawyer, Shadgrind. Barbara Hershey's turn as the nymphomaniac Duchess of Bournemouth is just subtle enough to be interesting and just over-the-top enough to be really funny. Catherine Zeta-Jones does a great job as Henry's gorgeous, gold-digging fiancee. It all ends happily, though there's a lot of doubt right up till the last moments of the film. There's a Pythonesque tag at the end that's good for laughs. Enjoy!
The Best   2007-12-02

The movie is great. Everything arrived in excellent condition. The only thing I thought strange was the movie does not have a DVD Root Menu, but that has nothing to do with the vendor. Great job guys.
Not the best movie...but still pretty good!   2005-06-29

It was a little dull at some parts but also exciting at others. The comedy's okay, has a nice ending. Catherine Zeta-Jones delivers, as usual!
An early glimpse   2005-03-08
By David J. Secord (Corpus Christi, TX USA)
O.k. First off, this is NOT a python movie. That's right out! So, trying to anticipate this as a Python film and not getting one is inevitably disappointing. With that said I thought the idea was funny, the film was funny, Barbara Hershey is gorgeous and only Catherine Zeta Jones is more enticing. This reminds me of the movie "The Grifters", where you get to see the young Annette Bening, before she destroyed her looks with nicotine. Catherine Zeta Jones is amazingly gorgeous here and worth seeing. Even nicer to see is Eric and John working together, like Michael Palin and John Cleese in "A Fish Called Wanda". I thought the movie was funny, I enjoy watching it again and if there was any let down, it was the rather flat delivery of Rick Moranis.
