  • Not Peter Sellers' finest hour

    Rated - 1.0 star

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This film is a satire of the US medical system, which should never have crossed the Atlantic. Perhaps it's very funny in the US, and it's true that the NHS has problems of its own, but this family considered that the film didn't 'work' for a UK audience. In short, mother walked out (she never thought she'd walk out on a Peter Sellers film!) and awarded it minus 2 stars; father awarded it one star and the teenager gave it two. That's one third of a star, but Tesco DVD won't let us give it less than one!

    Just painful.

    Not sure what it was trying to be but it is neither farce nor slapstick nor quality satire.

    Don't waste the effort of putting it into your player - you'll only have to get up again to turn it off.

    When a medical satire is as mirthless as this effort, it hurts all over. Sellers plays the corrupt head of a hospital intent on fleecing all its patients. Unfortunately it's the luckless viewer who gets well and truly fleeced. The humour is strictly of the Carry On variety, only not as funny.
