Moviehole - 4/10 by Clint MorrisCatherine Zeta-Jones is as hot as she is hilarious
User Review - 10/10 by Phillip OVery amusing film!! Rick and Eric did a great job!!
User Review - 10/10 by Private UVery amusing silly pic. I even liked Rick Moranis in it, but Barbara Hershey is the best as the over-the-top vampy duchess.
User Review - 10/10 by stefán birgir sI suppose you could say that this is a bit loosely put together, but never 'dull' as someone wrote! There are LOTS of lovely moments, lots of surprises, lots of fun: like the fact that - white-skinned, fair-haired and blue-eyed - he believes himself to be an Asian until his mother sees the symbolically signficant silver spoon and tells him he was adopted ... I love what Eric Idle has done and though I'm not a John Cleese fan, his contribution is enough to satisfy those who are, and not enough to disturb the rest of us! Odd that it's not better-known, I only found it by chance: but well worth a place in anyone's collection and I will certainly watch it several times a year ... ;-) By the way, he's not a 'lowly bank employee' like the synopsis says, he's a stockbroker handling multimillion-pound deals with his own secretary : but he *lives* in a corner-shop in Southall with his Asian family...
User Review - 10/10 by Rachael TFANTASTICALLY FUNNY! Just so many amazingly awkward situations and perfectly planned punchlines. I must warn you, my comedic taste DOES err towards the British, but this movie is just FANTASTIC. Eric Idle and John Cleese and Rick Moranis. <3
User Review - 8/10 by Jayden CPretty funny, I totally forgot about this movie untill this moment but it's been a long time since i've seen it.
User Review - 8/10 by Daniel PAfter his mate John Cleese had success with A Fish Called Wanda (1988), Eric Idle wanted a piece of the action, and spent 5 years penning a film original entitled Heirs and Graces, which became Splitting Heirs. This was intended to have made Idle the next comedy superstar, but it flopped badly, leaving Idle wary and untrusting of Hollywood. But, it's a funny film which has aged well, despite some missteps. Tommy Patel (Idle) was adopted as a baby and raised by an Indian family, and he works as a stock broker for the 14th Duke of Bournemouth (Jeremy Clyde), Tommy becomes friends with the Duke's American son Henry (Rick Moranis), who after a tragic accident, becomes the 15th Duke of Bournemouth. It's then that Tommy discovers he's the rightful heir to the dukedom, but he has no way of proving it. So, Tommy becomes close to Henry, his 'mother' Lucinda (Barbara Hershey) and Henry's fiance Kitty (Catherine Zeta-Jones), and tries to bump off Henry so that he can claim the title, but Henry is a hard man to kill, and very lucky. There are some funny laughs here, including Cleese cameoing as an insane lawyer, and even Idle gets away with playing a twentysomething banker, even if he was edging 50 at the time. The script needed a bit of work, as it gets itself in a knot more than once, but it has laughs.
User Review - 8/10 by Charlie SPretty funny, I totally forgot about this movie untill this moment but it's been a long time since i've seen it.
