The film is moderately enjoyable. A lot of the humor doesn't translate well. This film seems mean spirited almost by today's contemporary moral/social barometer. It's a weird premise but entirely original. One of the most original films imo of this or any era. The production value is undeniably wonderful it's the best aspect to the film's period setting; offering a unique interpretation. The film is not the best but it's definitely original! The performances are muted. It's a very physical comedy as well. Not to the detriment of the story just the kind of humor mainly expressed. Surprisingly a lot of the physical comedy does not come from the male lead which would immediately be the basis for casting said individual I would imagine. I'm sure the casting decision in theory was for Chevy to work AGAINST type which just does not come across adequately.
