     Clockwise
1986  PG  COMEDY  1h 36min
CAST— John Cleese, Penelope Wilton, Alison Steadman, Stephen Moore, Sharon Maiden, Joan Hickson
MUSIC— George Fenton  DIRECTOR— Christopher Morahan

     John Cleese stars in this frantic yet forgettable farce. School headmaster Cleese has been appointed chairman of a bunch of hoity-toity headmasters from all over the UK (which is a big deal). Obsessed with punctuality, his nightmare begins when he misses his train, then he wrecks a pupil’s car, he’s accused of kidnapping a former flame, plus he steals a pervert’s clothes. It looks like Cleese’s historic moment may be a long time coming… Honestly, it sounds better than it is. The film tries to entertain with sheer craziness but the funny is sorely lacking. Bland.
OUR RATING— * ½
