Wow what an absolute blast from the get go. John Cleese's screenplay writing is immaculate, channeling the best of his Monty Python days into a raucous comedy that still remains hilarious in 2023. All of the actors were phenomenal, but Kevin Kline shows out in one of my all time favorite comedy portrayals, equally as funny as he is psychotic. The interplay between Curtis and Cleese, as well as Curtis and Kline, shows her range in variable character interaction that I was immensely impressed by. The movie is compact, never wasting a moment, and wraps itself up in a satisfying ending. Has to be one of the better comedies ever made.
