An illiterate gardener(Peter Sellars)is forced to leave the grand house he has always lived and worked at when his employer dies. He is driven out into the big wide world which he is ill prepared for, however, when he gets partially run over by a limousine he is taken in by a rich couple who believe him to be an exceptionally intelligent individual.
At first I could not understand why this film had got such a high rating on IMDb but after a while I became really engrossed in Peter Sellars character and found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. The story is a little far fetched to say the least but I think that Peter Sellars is outstanding, how he managed to act this character so well is beyond me. I think it will be even better on a second viewing, the only real complaint is that it did drag on for longer than perhaps needed. However, overall this is a really good film, acting is great, editing good and the final scene highly memorable. Go watch!
