Movie Info

In this mock-documentary, John Cleese narrates a series of sketches on irritation -- types and techniques. Included are parents irritating their children, old ladies irritating movie-goers in a theater, an overly subservient waiter, a car repairman denying obvious car trouble, a party guest hinting for a ride, airplane pilots playing practical jokes on their passengers, and a talk show host who doesn't stop talking.

Unrated, 1 hr. 5 min.

Watching this television special is like encountering demos of early day Beatles... We can see where he'll be going, but he's not quite there yet.

This is sort of a documentary or a "mockumentary"? The sketches remind me of Monty Python a lot. Cleese is really funny and this movie has some really good sketches, but I wished he could have put them together into a narrative story.
