Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesThe title comes from Thomas Gray's poem "Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College" (1768). The actual lines (the last two lines of the poem) are ".... Where ignorance is bliss, /'Tis folly to be wise".
- Erros de gravaçãoJust before Walter gives Captain Paris a message for the Doctor, Captain Paris bangs the gavel on the table and then places the gavel next to his glasses. He then receives the message with his left hand. In the next shot he is holding his glasses with his left hand and holding the message with his right hand.

This chaotic, fun, Bafta nominated comedy cuts a bit close to the bone for many people I'd say, but it's very well executed, tightly directed, and has more laughs and believability than the average Sims comedy.
The problem is of course, the subject matter. The *institution* of marriage... And who wants to live in an institution, as the adage goes. But aside from this divisive issue, the movie is quite polished and the pure raucous joy of the hallroom audience on trivia night is marvelously done.
The only minor gripe i have is the ending, which is admirably in line with the whole, but still - a little flat and uneventful. I'm not one to drool over Sims' comedies, but very much enjoyed this one, which is far from a one horse race.
An easy 7/10.
