It's a spoof, a screwball comedy; I get it. Still, quite far removed from reality and too many fast talking characters; I missed half the stuff said, even with the subtitles on. Yeah, it is funny in a certain way, but there's so much happening there's no time to laugh out loud or you'd miss the crazy story. Sorry, perhaps, not exactly my cup of tea. My Rating: 6.5
