Si quieres ser millonario no malgastes el tiempo trabajando

And keep your eyes open for a good ear! A satire that lags occasionally and has practically zero plot continuity, but is absolutely flawless in its stronger moments. It comes as no surprise that Peter Sellers reigns with every gesture (his grimaces at the auction brought tears of laughter to my eyes), but his surprisingly effective family chemistry with Ringo Starr just might. Still, it's hard to say what to make of The Magic Christian. That's because it's packed with just about everything imaginable, and yet at the same time is just a one-trick pony. Regardless, watching it is definitely worth it for this lesser known performance from Peter Sellers. (14.07.2011)

The weakest Peter Sellers movie I've seen so far (I'm not counting The Pink Panther). It's not that it's downright bad, it's beautifully wacky and all, but unlike What's New, Pussycat? or Casino Royale, it couldn't hold my attention. Many scenes were more than very good, but many left me completely cold. I was most pleased with the one with John Cleese. "I like the Rembrandt school. I like all French painters..." - "Well, Rembrandt was Dutch in a sense." - "Dutch?" - "Dutch. Rembrandt." - "I don't like Dutch painters." (08.02.2015)
