It mystifies me how somebody can go see something like this, with
invisible planes and boxers as spies and Famke Jannsen as a sex-bomb
Amazon spy-lady, and expect it to be a serious action movie. EVERY
SINGLE MOMENT of this movie is comedy writing. The action is pure comedy
action, more like NAKED GUN than 48 HOURS. If somebody criticizes this
movie for having HOLES in the PLOT, then you know they are WAY OFF BASE,
and are trying to watch a completely different type of movie. These
people have nobody to blame but themselves, because it's pure spoof from
the very beginning, with Owen Wilson's Uzbeck misadventure and the way
he looks over the other spy's equipment. The ending is obviously a spoof
of spy movie endings, and even the heroes admit onscreen to being
confused. THIS IS A JOKE. It did strike me as strange that so silly a
movie had a $70,000,000 budget. Maybe the studio wanted to wish it into
being a real action movie, and, hoping to earn action movie box-office,
misleadingly sold it that way. As an action movie, it sucks. As a spoof,
it's a hoot

This adaptation of the brilliant Joe Orton play in an unmitigated disaster. Every joke is overdone to the point of surrealism. The wit is killed dead, and any pretense to psychology is thrown out the window in a late sixties psychedelic mish-mash completely at odds with the stage farce tone of the source material. If people like this movie, it's for the sheer oddness, not because it has any of the qualities evinced by the play. It's like watching a Noel Coward play performed by lunatics in an asylum.
The problem with PLENTY is that the first half is too slow and
spends too much time setting up the second half. The long scene
in the British Embassy, the "riotous" living with the loose set
in Pimlico - these scenes drag on and add little to our understanding
of Susan, or, at the very least, are told as though they were
merely necessary and not intrinsically interesting. However, once
she really starts going off the deep end, about the time she hooks
up with Sting, it catches fire, and burns brighter and brighter.
The quality of the second half is so strong that it easily nullifies
the ill-effects of the first half.
