Very smug, very little laughs


I usually enjoy watching Peter Cook, but he came off as a sort of ghost in this film......and he's the main character. I thought the old bald man who lost his fine position and reduced to serving everyone tea was a more interesting character than Rimmer. Thumbs down for me.

There is no "off" position on the genius switch.

The idea of the film is that an insignificant advertising shill can get to the top by manipulating people. That's why Cook seemed so dull.

Yes, it's not really a peter Cook movie or even a comedy at all.

It's a warning.

Do you suppose it gave Tony.Blair any ideas?
