ok and so you probably hear a lot of bad stuff about this movie before even watch it . so have i and and after watch it and i realize that people just do not get it . this movie be a british parody and the humor in it be top notch . the script be simple and but funny . no wonder so many famous people want to do this movie represent brando and richard burton and ringo starr and coburn . why . it allow these actor to revel in the absurd while pock fun at a bunch of taboo topic . this movie in 1968 be way ahead of it time and i would compare it to the fun i have watch the austin power one ( w or the 60 plot ) . basically this movie be for those who enjoy absurd joke and funny situational humor . it be very worthwhile in that respect . if you be look for plot or deep acting look elsewhere . although it be not a 100 joke a minute kind of movie and it have many enjoyable moment . as far a comedy genre go i give it a positive with 8 . 5 for originality and 6 . 0 for execution .
