The Spanish Prisoner. Shame too, because like you I like nearly everyone in the cast, especially Steve Martin and Ricky Jay. But at the time when it came out, holy shit... you know that Seinfeld bit (of course you do
) about Elaine not liking
The English Patient? That was
exactly how it was with me and my friend group at the time. "How can you
not like
The Spanish Prisoner!?!!"
Easily. It's about a tenth as clever as it thinks it is and it was like everyone on set knew it, but just delivered the dialog anyways always on the verge of asking "Isn't anyone going to say anything?" It's ridiculous and predictable and I still eye roll my way through it the few times I've had to be around it since then.
