Tour-de-force performances from an unparalleled comic cast highlight this much-loved hit that Roger Ebert calls "the funniest movie I have seen in a long time!" Monty Pythoners John Cleese and Michael Palin join Oscar winner Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis in an entertainment so impeccably timed and executed that 'Time Magazine' hailed it as: "Genius - a film that redefines a great comic tradition!"
Synopsis: Zany heist comedy about an uptight English barrister getting mixed up with jewel thieves. Blending broad humor with Brit wit, this appeals to Python fans and caper-comedy lovers unbothered by risqu? gags.
