Featured review
A nice easy going comedy.
This starts of with quite a few good laughs some visual, some slapstick and a few situation based but gets a little more serious as it progresses.
The acting is good with Rooney as the slightly mad client being especially good and Caine is his usual self in the lead.
The one liners are delivered well and the occasional difference between what is narrated and what is acted out is amusing.
The plot is a little thin and when it gets serious it doesn't do it too well.
It's a watchable film with no bad bits and a few good ones but it's nothing special.
