most boring film!!
This was possibly the most boring film I have ever watched. I slept through most of it and have no recolection apart from some weird Chinesed people tried 2 knick dinosaurs and it was only just noticed by the museum people.
shareYou're an idiot then. Its a gentle humourous romp the likes of which they don't make anymore. I loved it as a kid and still do.
shareThis was one of the most memorable films of my childhood, and I hadn't seen it since it came out in the cinema in England when I was seven years old, until I was given a DVD of it again today, thirty-one years later. Although today it didn't have me rolling in the aisles or have me doing Peter Ustinov impressions for hours afterwards like it did back then, it still was a charmer, and it was simply just fun to watch. It deliberately encapsulates a bit of the paradoxically innocent yet bigoted flavour of England back in those times, and there are many little delicate touches for those with an appreciation for the idiosyncracies of the English. Peter Ustinov is the perfect person to be given license to run amok with his non-politically-correct character, considering he was one of the most well-read, culturally-sensitive intellectuals of his generation. The film left me with the wistful feeling and hope that here was the England and these were the kinds of adventures that we had when we were children. It's something wonderful to look back to, even though it probably only ever existed in imagination.
