Steve A @RT12776752 Dec 18, 2023 The film is funny entertaining in that John Cleese. The film plods along nicely, the plot is basic but this is not a bad thing as its a basic fun loving 80s movie that is a classic comedy if you like this taste See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 2, 2022 I've seen this film before, probably at least 20 years ago but I couldn't remember too much about it, other than that I found it funny and so when I heard it was being shown on TV again, I thought I'd record it. I watched it today and I wasn't disappointed - if anything it was funnier than I'd remembered. I think I understood more of the jokes than I maybe did as a kid of the late 80s. I can't help but laugh at the stressed out Cleese character - he doesn't seem to get much luck, does he? first Basil in Fawlty Towers, then this! Mr Stimpson, Mr Stimpson!!! lol. Its all visual slapstick style comedy and its what I may refer to as stress based comedy as well I suppose. Its quite wacky and very British I suppose but in any case, I really enjoyed it and would happily recommend it to others. Some of the plot details were, shall we say, I bit unlikely but then that makes for some of the comedy really.

See more Mar 23, 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. See more Oct 30, 2015 Carried by John Cleese, but funny "almost road trip" movie.
