I saw this film this weekend, and if you enjoy Monty Python you probably
will too. It stars John Cleese as an acting-Captain of the British Army
stationed in Malasia in 1948. He believes that he missed out on World
War II, and believes that World War III is about to start any minute.
Unfortunately, he commands a Song and Dance corps (USO type outfit). The
star of this group is a middle age gay guy who calls everyone by female
names, including Jessica Christ aka Jesus Christ. There is also a naive
guy from intelligence who falls in love. And a gun running sargent.
  

Very strange, perhaps offensive, not very strong on plot, but still
funny. It is playing thru Thursday at the Royal on Pico in West L.A.
