This is a very funny film. Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson are stand-outs. Rowan Atkinson is excellent as a smarmy "leading man" in the musical "Elephant!" who tries to sink Goldblum's chances in the musical.
The love scenes with Thompson and Goldblum are inspired, particularly the first time they have sex. I can't recall a film that treats the act in such a spontaneous, slapstick and totally hilarious manner as it's done here. The actor's quirky takes and interaction are most funny, and the entire film is simply a delight.
I've told many friends to seek out this movie, and those who have taken my advice have thanked me profusely for letting them know about it.
I can't recommend it too highly--for a fun night alone, or with your special someone. It'll put a smile on your face you can't wipe off.
