User Reviews:
For a while, George Harrison's HandMade Films could do no wrong thanks to box office hits like Monty Python's [i]Life Of Brian[/i], [i]the Long Good Friday[/i] and a little imported American slasher you may have heard of called [i]the Burning[/i]. Sadly, it couldn't last, and HandMade's most notable disaster - prior to [i]Shanghai Surprise[/i], of course - was this frenetic but pathetic farce written by the usually reliable [i]Likely Lads[/i] scribes Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais, which plays out like a precursor to the less-than-impressive film version of the anarchic TV series [i]Whoops Apocalypse[/i]. Although the cast is impressive, the assumption that filling the screen with eccentric characters doing strange things will automatically result in hilarity gives it the overall feeling of an expensive in-joke you don't understand. [i]That's Life![/i] presenter Paul Heiney has a small role in the film as a result of his then-popular TV series [i]In At the Deep End[/i] in which he and Chris Serle had to accept unusual challenges - in Heiney's case, it was becoming a film actor. Harrison and his old friends Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr appear as themselves, and Dick Shawn gets a measly two minutes' worth of screen time.
