    Wonderful Wonderful film - don't let is slip past you because it has no marketing budget

    I'm not one for offering high praise very often... but on a BA flight i stumbled accross this absolute gem of a movie.

    Robin Williams plays Paul Burnell a down on his luck travel agent who's savings have been spent on finding someone who can help his wife (Hunter) who is afflicted with what she thinks is Tourettes. On finding a corpse in a dumpster he has the ingenious thought of setting up an insurance scam for the $1million life assurance on his brother who upped and left a few years earlier. Throw in a couple of part time hitmen who want their corpse back, an insurance investigator who smells his chance of a big prize and promotion to NY, A Psychic phone line opperater, and long lost brother turning up out of the blue and you have one of the best intelegent comidies if the last few years and one of the funniest i've seen for a long while. Hunter is amazing as Maggie with several laugh out loud moments. I urge you to see this film as it deserves to be seen.
