Odd, quirky, but a terrific little movie. Jeff Goldblum just throws it all out there, and Emma Thompson reels him back in with her reserved gem of a performance. Loose, but coherent direction by the inimitable Mel Smith and a great performance by Rown atkinson round out the proceedings. Big fun, and in my permanent collection.
