This movie begins with the birth of a sex toy invented in Shagistan in 1898 by Deepak Obi Ben Kingsley (Eddie Izzard), and tells the story of the subsequent decline of the British Empire as seen through the eyes of a Piano (Eric Idle). The Piano narrates the tale of Dick (Russell Brand); his two cousins: Emma Schlegel (Jane Leeves), an emotionally retarded English girl; her kleptomaniac sister Helena (Sophie Winkleman) and their dipsomaniac Aunt Maggie (Tracey Ullman) who all live together in a large, rambling, Edwardian novel. When the Reverend Whoopsie (Tim Curry) discovers a piano on a beach, a plot is set afoot that can be solved only by a private Dick, the incomprehensible Scottish sleuth Inspector McGuffin (Sir Billy Connolly), who, with the aid of Sergeant Ken Russell (Jim Piddock) finally reveals the identity of the Houndsditch Mutilator.

A complete mis-step from Eric Idle. 'Dated' doesn't cover it - even in 2012 when it was made it was 60 years behind the times. The jokes are leaden and the amazing talent involved completely underused by a shockingly bad script which insults its audience. What was Idle thinking? Don't waste your time on this.

Looking at the star cast I was pulled to this. How they convinced these most respected talents to read this dumb stript is beyond me. This is one of those really crass and shallow scripts masquerading as sophisticated theatre with double entrendes. I have one word for it or three- WTF. Bored me out of my mind, stunned me with its mediocrity and boorish humour. I laughed at these jokes back when I was in high school.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen. It says my review is too short so I'm continuing to type, but really, it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

If you like Monty Python type comedy you will love this incredibly funny movie of an old time radio broadcast.
