Well, not so much dull, but lightweight and rather predictable (a comedy
of errors, somewhat).  The thing that irked me was the overly dramatic
intrusive orchestral score.  It seemed to me to be the musical equivalent
of a laugh track.  Come back BBC Radiophonic Workshop, all is forgiven. :-)

Incredibly, though, I'm glad I watched it.

Cheers,

Paul.
