Typically of British comedy, this film take two very funny men and drops them into one cliched witless situation after another in the vain hope of making the audience laugh. The result is the usual unfunny schmaltz and two middle aged men running around in drag. Ho ho.

Simple, silly fun. Coltrane and Idle have great chemistry, and Camille Coduri and Janet Suzman are both hilarious. A movie that asks little of its viewers and pleases easily. It starts off a little slowly, but the ending is superb.
