Humour is such a subjective thing. I barely laughed at all during this film yet the vast majority on this site seemed to be rolling on the floor with tears pouring down their eyes from start to finish. So it seems I just have a different taste in humour, I don't know...My favourite comedy movies are Life of Brian, Naked Gun, Top Secret, The Holy Grail, Airplane, Shaun of the Dead, Some Like it Hot, Dr Strangelove...do I differ so radically from other's tastes? Anyway, taking the humour aside ( which is difficult, as it's a comedy film...hence my low score! ) it's hard to fault the performances or production. The film looks wonderful, the acting is superb throughout and it's obviously been done with a lot of heart and effort. But the corny, staged jokes and slapstick humour barely raised a giggle from me so it has to go down as a failure in my eyes.
