Enjoyable but sometimes difficult to watch. I liked the farce and anti-farce elements, but this movie's best moments are the broad, drawn-out action sequences. The hunting scene alone is worth watching the entire movie.
The romance aspect of the story isn't particularly well done, and neither is the essential plot. This movie is goofy sometimes, in both a good and bad way. For me, it breaks down where it tries to follow the story.
The entire movie seems to be about experimenting with the Victorian English period piece as a genre (and poking fun at it) - sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it fails. It's good fun though, and worth watching.
