Dear Marco...this film was a product of the age...and its a farce, for goodness sake! Its supposed to have you screaming, "Why don't you just..." and "She's BEHIND you!".. at the screen in frustration as the characters fail to do or see the obvious and for that, it wins...Its just film panto... Its a great film, not because of its intrigue or clever dialogue but just BECAUSE the story is so stupid...or is it? It will make you think. It will make make you say "Typical bloody politicians!" Once you sit down to watch, you will want to stay until the end, and then afterwards you'll be chuckling, saying "what a load of crap" and "why did I watch that?"...but you did... So, a not great comedy and a not great storyline but a great film and well worth watching. Just remember what era it was made in!
