With the caveat that ?The Man Who Killed Don Quixote? might be assessed on the most loaded grading curve in contemporary cinema memory, we?ve got to say that Terry Gilliam?s long-awaited adventure tale is an awful lot of fun. Of course, the fun can be far from perfect. The film is also messy and hysterical in places, and by running an exhausting 132 minutes, it rather insistently overstays its welcome. Somehow, knowledge of the years of calamity and incident that befell this seemingly perma-doomed production can?t help but turbo-charge our reactions to it.
