The funniest comedy I've seen this year.

The moment the opening sequence began, the music and visual style of the movie had me. I wasn't expecting anything from the film, so it was a complete surprise to become so hooked on this charming little story.

I would have liked to have seen less of John Cleese, his rehashing of his old Basil Fawlty role was really tired and out of place but I really appreciated the casting in general.

To sum up, I loved this movie. It's hard to put my finger on why, it just appealed to me on lots of levels. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who loved a film like Raising Arizona. Big thumbs up from me.
