Review of The Great McGonagall

I don't like badmouthing films but this must be one of the worst I've ever seen, self-indulgent nonsense. Whilst I admire a lot of Spike Milligans work I cant help but feel that instead of giving us a straightforward telling of McGonagalls life (which certainly seems to have been entertaining enough) he decided to spoof it up to the point where it made no sense and as a viewer your sitting, wondering what on earth is going on and desperately looking for a storyline. It doesn't surprise me that the Director is the same guy who gave us the equally idiotic "The Magic Christian" but at least that had its moments and a top-notch cast, very amateurish, looks like its been filmed on a budget of £50 and on a cheap camcorder, what were they thinking! This is just a mess, only watch and indeed buy if your a completest and want to see all of Milligans/Sellers work. Simply not funny..
