Customer Reviews of Clockwise
Cleese at his best This is a must if you like John Cleese. Whilst the script is by theatre writer Michael Frayn, the script is so full of Cleeseisms it could have been written for him (or perhaps Cleese made some revisions). This is a contemporary of Monty Python's Meaning Of Life, and the headmaster in this film would seem to be the Comprehensive School cousin of Cleese's Headmaster in The Meaning Of Life. The supporting cast is a delight, with Joan Hickson giving a wonderfully entertaining portrayal of a dotty old lady worried about who would inherit her late mother's sherry glasses. Much of the cast had featured with Cleese in Fawlty Towers, Geoffrey Palmer, Pat Keen, Ann Way, and if you look closely you can see future Eastenders Leslie Schofield and John Bardon in small roles, and Operation Good Guys' Mark Burdis as a schoolboy. The film is at the same time a joy and a pain to watch. Just as you think poor old Mr Stimpson (Cleese's character) is getting somewhere, he is frustrated by something outside his control. Anyone who gets stressed watching Fawlty Towers ought to avoid this.
A Fantastic Comedy Classic
"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!
Sublime
John Cleese is at his best in this jolly picture. Wonderful scrip and actor's staff. Five Stars!
