Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Wanda defies gravity, in both senses of the word, and redefines a great comic tradition.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
27 Apr 2009
fresh:
The movie's basic joke holds that the overbearing, unselfconscious Americans will do anything and say anything (and usually as loudly as possible), while the timorous British are nearly too polite to breathe.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Tribune,
30 Jul 2013
fresh:
Low comedy at high speed, it pretends to be a caper movie about a smooth London jewel heist and its infinitely complex aftermath. Actually, it's a smart farce about ingrained cultural differences.
– Sheila Benson,
Los Angeles Times,
30 Jul 2013
rotten:
Somehow, the movie manages to do the impossible: It makes John Cleese less than hilarious.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,
30 Jul 2013
fresh:
Perhaps the most unusual aspect of what is surely the year's most original and daring comedy is that John Cleese is not the funniest performer in it. Believe it or not, that honor goes to none other than the usually somber Kevin Kline.
– Desmond Ryan,
