I love this movie. Michael Cain plays the British Counsel in Casacara, the British Empire has deemed the place to be useless. Until that is mineral water is discovered. Well you have buffoon freedom fighters, the drunk and sleezy counsel's wife, the environmentalist, a colorful group of locals, the counsel who likes non medicinal herbals. There are great lines in this movie and if your sense of humor is bent just enough you will enjoy this flick.

A truly talented cast cannot save this beached whale of a comedy. It misses on every comic level, from slapstick to sight gags to attempted witty social commentary.

Very disappointing to see so much talent wasted.

==SPOILERS== ==SPOILER ALERT== Only read if you've watched this Classic Gem!!!

The bat guano. The singing rebel. The concert for Cascara. And the Maggie Thather character sticking the letter oppener dagger saying ""There was only one Gandhi. One anorexic little looney in a loin cloth and we lost an entire subcontinent." : þ

Well, "I don't care, I don't give a damn, the movie Water is THE farce and no sham" : ) Just wrap your lips around -this- Governer, and watch this film again : þ And don't tell me "Jew must be yoking...", or you'll find yourself re-painting a cell (if you're a girl, with Rev. Eric Fiszheugh : þ

==END SPOILERS==

Maybe you need to be an pre-90s kid to "get it". If you are, you gotta see this! : þ If you're a native Spanish speaker, there are hidden, unintended die-laughing jokes in Bren Vaccaro's awful Spanish : )

one of the true gems that came under the radar, a superb ensamble cast that seems to get better over the years.A cult classic in this family and every one that we introduced it to. Brenda Vaccaro and Micheal caine are a hoot and a weeze and the Margret Thatcher impersonater is terrific not to mention the music and the St. Lucia location.....as one ponders the new election here remember the words of the PM," he is only one man! one aneorexic looney in a lion cloth toppled the empire." YES YOU CAN! BUY IT

Excellent Quality. Very fast service. I live in Australia and even with the postage costs, the item was much cheaper than I could buy here.
