Review of Clockwise (1986) by Christian G — 23 Mar 2016
As a Monty Python lover I may be less than objective when it comes to reviewing work by John Cleese. Be that as it may, I have never seen a better crafted comic movie that this. In my opinion Clockwise really is the most sublime comic movie ever created.
The characters are all totally believable. UK schools, class consciousness in England during the 1980s, clever interplay between the story lines.... it is sublime. Although I loved Monty Python and I rolled over laughing at Fawlty Towers and Life of Brian, none of them match Clockwise for sheer entertainment.
It is intelligent comedy, not slapstick. There are no super witty punch lines or banana skins. Obviously having said this, it earns a 10 from me.
