One of the most fun films I've seen!

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2000)

Perhaps I'm biased. I lived in Yorkshire for some years, so perhaps that may give me a little better understanding of the humor than most Americans will have (not to mention a slightly better grasp on the accents, though they were pretty clear). And I have been a fan of the Wallace and Grommit work for some time - I think EVERYONE should see "A Close Shave" unless they've had their sense of humor surgically removed.
Perhaps I'm biased, but I don't think so, as the entire theater was laughing as hard as I was. This film is just tremendous, and I have a feeling that Mel Gibson's _The Patriot_ is going to have some of the hardest competition in his other film, _Chicken Run_.
Whether you have kids or not, see this film! Of course the slapstick and animation will appeal to them, but there is enough sophisticated comedy and appeal to this film that anyone can enjoy it. And to the perceptive who have watched all the "serious" great escape films, (and to the perceptive who just love Brit comedy) there are many subtle stabs.
This is the best "film for everyone" that I've seen in a long time.
