Movie Reviews of Sextette
Movie Review: Humor, Folks! That's what it's all about!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not certain if most criticizing this film so callously are simply a bit daft when it comes to the gist of British humor, but they seem to be missing the vital dynamic of the movie entirely. Think of any Austin Powers movie. Are they intended to be serious Hollywood musicals with deep meaning that exhibit an abundance of musical genius? Not at all...because Mike Myers KNOWS his British humor. Wayward plots involving any combination of 'spies', sexual innuendo and campy musical numbers where characters are prone to break into song at nearly any random point throughout the film are classic trademarks of what we commonly refer to nowadays as 'spoof'. Ms. West was obviously very innovative and ahead of her time. I think it was absolutely brilliant of her to allow it filmed in such a manner. Very tongue-in-cheek! Bravo, to an extremely intelligent and elegant lady, rest her dear soul.
And also for those critiquing Tim's singing voice and phrasing during "Love Will Keep Us Together", he played it brilliantly as well; delivering the lyrics very in-tune with the highly upper-class 'stiffness' of Sir Michael Barrington--a British Secret Service agent who wouldn't know how to properly sing a Captain and Tennille pop-tune to save his sweet life. I absolutely applaud his unique sense of humor in tailoring the song to aptly suit the character. I have never known a better actor, nor will I ever. I found this movie utterly delightful years ago....and find it the same today, especially after having not seen it for some time. For those harsh critics, I suggest re-watching. However, this time with the lighter expectation of one not in search of great musical depth, but an appreciation for that which is better known as satire.
