This is my favorite british comedy, even more so than the Monty Python classics. But I'm saddened that it's getting dissed here at listal. 6.8 average? come on, are people simply voting based on the silly title, or have they actually sat down and enjoyed this comedy-robbery-blackmail-double-crossing laugh-til-it-hurts fest?
so many memorable lines...
'Oh no! It's K-k-k-k-KEN coming to K-k-k-k-KILL ME!!'
I honestly can't decide who was the funniest; Cleese, Kline or Palin. All were brilliant. Curtis didn't really have a comic role or memorable lines, but she had total chemistry with the rest of the cast, which made this ensemble that much more enjoyable.
Best part was where Otto (Kline) beats up Archie (Cleese) by putting a bag on his head and beating him, but when he takes bag off and finds out it wasn't a robber, he starts apologizing, 'Sorry, I didn't know it was you... i mean after all, WHO ROBS THEIR OWN HOUSE?' and then resumes beating him. only to apologize again. oh man, what a gem!
