My roommate has been dying to get me to watch this. I really dig swashbuckling films and this film is played so charmingly, but there is a lot of stuff in here that just feels slightly off tonally. So many moments are played like Marx Brothers or Looney Toons bits. The good thing about this is that Antonio Banderas is legitimately really funny. It’s why he was perfect for the SPY KIDS and SHREK films. It is weird, though, to see Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta Jones playing Spaniards.
