Gloriously insipid, it's a wonder to think that /this/ movie was Ireland's big chance at making big-budget films. It looks just like a real movie, but it's not. It's ridiculous. If you liked Spaceballs, here's a movie just like it, only different. See it.

Something for everyone

Now, just because I'm a classics scholar, I don't entirely have the authority to judge this movie. NEVERTHELESS, I loved it. This is Plautus through the eyes of some of the best (re)writers in history. I do have a few things to complain about, such as the fact that Plautus hardly ever wrote plays in Rome (usually they were in Athens), and that - for Mercury's sake! - for a bunch of Patricians and upper-class people, these Mercatores sure dressed like pathics and catamites. Roman men do NOT wear colors or patterns. Not at All. AAAAAAIIIGH!
