Four conniving jewel thieves...three Yorkshire terriers...two heaving bosoms and one proper British barrister. It all adds up to "a non-stop barrage of ...outrageous plot twists and over-the top performances" when a girl called Wanda tries to deceive her Nietzche-quoting boyfriend, an animal loving hitman and an embarrassment-prone counselor out of a fortune in jewels in this hilariously funny farce!

The film was also one of the final films to use the platform release system which garnered it incredible critical appeal and a virtually guaranteed audience in every city it opened in.
Besides all of that, It's truly a hysterical movie! It combi

From Fish Tape to Slick DVD - 3.75 out of 5 (6/18/1999)
I have been replacing some of my VCR Tapes with DVD's as they become available. So, I was happy to see this available on DVD. It is one of the funniest movies that I own.

Worth buying in spite of the lack of features ! - 3.5 out of 5 (3/31/1999)
My review will be very short : buy this DVD right now !

The cast is fantastic (Kevin Kline is my favorite in his idiot role !), the scenario works very well and the picture and sound (monoraul !) are not bad.
The only thing I can criticize is the lack of special
