A Fun Homage to Capra
This is a fun film – very lighthearted with beautiful sets, fast paced dialog and caricatures at every corner and turn.

It seems to pay homage to old Capra screwball comedies – and it’s pretty much old fashioned farce right from the beginning.

The film is far from perfect. Jennifer Jason Leigh’s performance is labored. She tries to squeeze every last snicker she can with her character. She misses the mark in my opinion, moving and talking with so much effort and pace – just to get a laugh – that in the end, she gets none.

Paul Newman goes the other way – he understates his character and when contrasted to the lunacy of both the environment and the story around him – it makes for some great scenes. He makes a great villain in this movie – and for me, he’s a large reason why the movie works.

Tim Robbins does a good job, especially at the start of the film. His best moments come when the story and the environment overwhelm his character.

There’s great moments, like the ridiculous Muncie fight song, the Monty Python-esque mail room, Charles Durning with wings and the grim, faceless board members – with their inane questions and so frightened to lose their authority that they agree to virtually anything.

This film isn’t genius or anything, but if you enjoyed the antics of something like ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ then this is worth catching. It’s delightfully silly – and has some interesting visuals and symbolism along the way.
