Funniest movie of 2000?

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2000)

One word should suffice: brilliant. I confess, I had some questions as to whether Nick Park and company could pull off a feature length film, but after Saturday's sneak preview I realize my doubts were in error, and Aardman Animations are the masters of whatever length they chose to take on. Even with the showing interrupted halfway through by a lightning storm that knocked out the power, set off the fire alarm, and caused a 30 minute evacuation of the building, this was the best movie going experience I've had in a long time. Hysterical, gags timed down to the split second, and so many movie in-jokes that you need a scorecard, this is one film that's worth repeated viewings. Sheer perfection in clay.
