The scene with Wilson, Mainwaring, and Pike in Rose's cottage was pure farce and funnier for it.

For me, most of the laughs came from Godfrey's sisters, Cissy and Dolly, and the relationships between the men, particularly everyone having to accommodate Godfrey (superbly essayed by Michael Gambon).

I felt it has the right mix of originality and homage and is something I could quite happily watch again.
Well I totally disagree,I could not find a joke amongst the dire plot,Its almost like we watched different films.
