Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

lludwig-33628 Wow... worst movie I have seen in years. Forced, corny, an obvious attempt to create something akin to Monty Python and it just fell flat as day old beer. Both Sutherland and Wilder have done so much better work, but this was a bomb! It really does resemble something that would have come out of a high school drama class if they had access to the camera sets and costumes. Bad, just really... bad.

Elswet Two sets of twins are mis-matched at birth. One set belongs to a royal family, and one set belongs to a peasant couple. Just as things begin to get interesting for the royal brothers, the peasant brothers trade places with them. The peasant brothers join the revolution while their idiot twins sit around eating and failing to notice the French Revolution which is going on all around them. This work has heart yet never takes itself too seriously, making for a level of enjoyable chaos suitable for an entertaining 91 minutes. Unfortunately, this movie died upon release only to become a Rocky Horror Picture Show of its own among the college crowd.For some reason, this movie reminds me of Cheech and Chong's the Corsican Brothers. I can't help but associate the two, since they do have the same feeling. Gene Wilder turns in his usual wonderful performance and Donald Sutherland actually manages to carry off the comedy. The plot is littered with small holes, but the story is rather irrelevant. This work is more for the comedic effect than anything else, and it holds up well throughout. That having been said, let me also point out that this movie was nominated for best story written for the screen by the Writers Guild.This work is great fun to watch and a MUST SEE for any Gene Wilder fan! He plays two parts and therefore gets loads of screen time.It rates a 7.8/10 from...the Fiend :.

Gregster-5 The movie was made in about 1970, so this is an early Wilder vehicle. Also starring Donald Sutherland, it's quite simply both dreadful and technically inept. At about that time, the British movie industry was turning out garbage such as "Holiday on the Buses", Steptoe and Sons" etc, i.e. TV spinoffs. This ranks only slightly above that in terms of production values. All outdoor scenes are looped, and badly looped at that - I wouldn't bet the farm that it was the original actors voicing over. The direction seems to have been minimal, and in some scenes it's painful watching Wilder basically running unchecked - I consider that the director's fault, not Wilder. Sutherland is completely miscast. The usual collection of British bitpart suspects are there, Spinetti, Fowler, etc. Absolutely dire.

krystal07 This was one of Gene's best movies. I love Gene Wilder. He is the BEST actor of all time. I give this movie a 10 and a thumbs up. I f you haven't seen it then you should. It's hilarious. If you like good acting and comedy then you should definetely see it.
