Brilliant concept, and for a while it had some really funny moments. The problem is, an hour and forty eight minutes of slapstick leaves you feeling quite numb at the end. There is a reason why cartoons are short or why Three Stooges shorts are less than 15 minutes. You watch too many of them and the law of diminishing returns rears it's head and you end up tuning out. I found myself looking at my computer and looking up at the TV the last half hour or so. It's a shame because if this was edited a little bit tighter I might consider this for repeated viewing but this one is a "one and done" for me.

Slow depressing flashbacks, unlikable characters especially the protagonist (who really loves the F-bomb).

The only reason I sat through to the end is the completionist in me had to see how it came out. This could've been a 90 minute movie and probably would have been less painful. Welp, need to cleanse my pallet so it's back to watching The Windsors with Harry Enfield.

I wasn't expecting much but was better than I thought it would be. Marty Allen was always likeable and funny and there are some gags that have you scratching your head because they're outta left field but that's what makes this film goofy and fun. Harvey Korman, in his little scene, almost steals the show. John Williams has a fun comedic turn as well. Overall it just captures the spy obsessed politically incorrect fun that was the swingin' sixties.
