  • What's Old Hat, Moggy?

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    A child of the 60s and usually a fan of Woody Allen and Peter Sellers, I was looking forward to seeing this for the first time a mere four decades after it was made! What a disappointment. There's no real story to it, the script fizzes here and there in a dampish sort of way, the actors appear to be going through the motion picture without much in the way of apparent commitment. I fast-forwarded through the second half. The only thing worth watching was an uncredited Francoise Hardy in the final scene.

  • Zany surrealist 1960s humour

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Cardiff, Wales , 24 Oct 2008
    Bedroom-farce style humour in a surrealist Parisian setting. Don't expect a logical plot or a tidy ending, but do expect a great deal of zany fun. If you like 1960s zany, you'll like this; if you don't, you'll probably hate it. It's not family viewing either -- small children won't get the jokes and teenagers would rather enjoy them without their parents in the room. But overall we liked it; and of course there's Tom Jones's singalong theme song...

  • Puerile, banal and totally unengaging.

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer from Bath , 24 Jan 2007
    Just about the worst and most boring movie I have ever not sat through. Even Sellers and O'Toole can't rescue this one from its sorry fate as a total waste of time.

  • Woody Allen meets British humour - literally!

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Bezman (82 reviews) from Glasgow , 21 Feb 2005
    Multi-cultural influences help to broaden the humour a bit, although it remains centred on wacky relationship based hi-jinks.

    As O'Toole struggles to become faithful to his fiancé, we catch a glimpse of the web of women besotted by him, Victor (Allen) and his therapist (Sellers) trying to have some fun in their own way.

    Each party's intentions take the tale in a different direction until it explodes in a showdown of ridiculous proportions.

    A few sections seem trite or overused, but a laugh is almost guaranteed.
