Fun parody, 14 August 1999
Author:
Penfold-13 from London, UK
Hitchcock was a better director of suspense than comedy.
This is a not altogether successful attempt at a send-up of Hitchcock's
classic thrillers. The plot is as convoluted as ever, except that it
borders
on the silly.
As a stand-alone movie, it's beautifully shot, but too ridiculous to take
seriously, without managing to be actually funny.
But if you take the plot as simply a line to hang the parody on, it's
nicely
amusing. It's a kaleidoscope of scenes from other Hitchcock movies which
were scary the first time round, but this time they're caricatures. Relive
bits from North By Northwest, Psycho, To Catch A Thief, and many more,
grinning as you recognise where they came from.
