Summary: A Fantastic Comedy Classic
Review: "Clockwise" is a brilliantly paced comedy about a Headteacher who finds a simple train journey develops into a day of building chaos and delays on his way to a major conference.John Cleese handles the leading duties as put-upon Mr. Stimpson perfectly. His manic acting range: from quiet reserve to over-the-top desperation as the film develops really draws you in to the story, rooting for his arrival but at the same time wanting to see how he'd react to yet another interference. This movie is a truly amusing piece of work - it never drags and is perfectly paced. This is definitely one comedy that you will watch again and again!

Summary: 9:20
Review: Another forgotten but fun movie about a rigid schoolmaster (Cleese) heading to become chairman of the headmasters society . The time obsessed Cleese is stymied by first a little mixup followed by a series of minor disasters each growing steeper in scope. Little by little we see him cracking until the final goal of reaching is destination on time dwarfs every other logical consideration. Viewers of British comedy will recognize many of the faces from many other shows (particularly FAULTY TOWERS). They are lots of fun (particularly the old ladies) It is an interesting sidebar but not as interesting as the many sub plots and sub characters all on a similar quest, who in a very English way fail to act with their goal before them in order to avoid embarassment. If this review seem vague, it's because it IS vague, but that is on purpose. This is a movie that needs to be SEEN without letting any little plot device out. This is a weakness of the film as it doesn't stand up to repeated viewing as well as it should, likely due to the dryness of the material but Cleese carries it off, I don't think any other actor could.

Summary: I love John Cleese, but.
Review: But this movie is really a 3 1/2 - 3 3/4 stars in all reality. Its got some funny stuff in it of course, but 5 stars is a bit too much. Its definitely worth checking out and should be in the library of any self respecting John Cleese/Monty Python fan. Enjoy!

Summary: This is one of the best John Cleese films ever
Review: I response to my other review which was stupi d I would like to tell more aobut the movie. Unlike most John Cleese movies he is the main character which is great becasue he is Mr. Funny at least the British Mr. Funny. The movie is not just more John Cleese fans heavens no. This movie was making me crack up at the jokes in the movie. True it is old but all the old movies are better then the new ones am I right. So I hope by making you watch this movie you will become a die hard john Cleese fan and demand that he makes another film, evn though he has been in Spice World, which is a lowpoint in his career. Thank YOU! END

Summary: Not as funny as A Fish Called Wanda
Review: I've watched a few of the movies that Cleese has been in (Monty Python series; A Fish Called Wanda, Fierce Creatures etc...) and have found them all to be quite funny, so I had high hopes when I got this movie.
Basically, Cleese is an uptight headmaster of a British School whose punctiliousness has led to his being chosen as the chairman of the National Headmasters Association (or some such name). Unfortunately on the day when he is to give his speech, a series of incidents occur that could lead to his being late for the meeting. That is where the fun begins, and you go on a roller-coaster ride, as one incident after another occurs that adds to the chaos.
Cleese as usual is hilarious, but I couldn't help feeling that the plot was a little bit too simplistic; linear almost, and were it not for his acting, the movie would have flopped. Overall, it wasn't a bad movie, it had its funny parts, but I don't think it was anything near his best. If you want to watch Cleese at his best, I would suggest _A fish called Wanda_ where he teams up with Michael Pallin and Kevin Kline.
