Tim Pulleine Guardian 01/22/2020
At least, as the harassed governor, Michael Caine displays his customary practised ease; Caine could do this sort of thing standing on his head, and on this occasion might have. Go to Full Review

How on earth do films like this make the mighty leap from drawing board to movie camera -- and then from camera to audience? Go to Full Review

Peter P 07/17/2023 Michael Caine is perfect as the easy going, pot smoking british governor of a small forgotten carribean island that suddenly has to deal with british bureaucrats, american capitalists, cuban communist and french mercenaries. Very underrated but hilarious comedy/satire that is a lot of fun and the reggae soundtrack just makes this a real feel good movie. See more ed l 11/07/2022 Hilarious! Great actors, a very silly plot, and an incredible band in the finale. A keeper. See more 10/12/2021 When released this film attracted negative reviews by the British press at the time due to its irreverent look at colonial approach of the super powers of the time. I think this holds up well over the years, as we are far more aware of the impact of colonialism and how badly treated people were. Sure there are a few bits that have dated like white governor + lead rebel being key in saving the locals. See more 05/08/2019 Best Comedy of all time, with many famous faces playing hilarious characters. yes it is a little of its time, and occasionally the acting is a bit ropey, but thats not really the point of this movie. See more 12/29/2018 I never understood why this film flopped - I saw it when it came out and I saw it again recently - and I still find it brilliant. It is funny, crazy and takes the micky out of everything - I loved it. See more 03/27/2014 (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A fun movie.
