I felt that this film was funny, but not funny enough.  It never reached that
manic level that films of this sort should.  For example, if the whole cast
had chased the pig through the streets, it might have been more satisfying.  
Also, I could never sympathize with Palin for wanting to enter that society,
and his character hadn't grown at all by the end of the film.  The only
character who was at all sympathetic was the accountant (and the pig, of
course).
