Entertainment Reviews:
...Witty....[Cleese's performance is] reminiscent of the best Monty Python television sketches...
Variety
Rating: 3/5 --
Should be funnier, but not bad.
New Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Overlooked Cleese comedy.
eFilmCritic.com
...Wickedly sly....The getting there is glorious in its sheer hilarity, shrewd off-the-wall touches and gorgeous scenery and ancient towns...
Los Angeles Times
The pleasures of "Clockwise" stem not simply from gags, but from the kind of strong story construction that's almost disappeared from comedy.

...A delightful little British comedy....Played to fastidious perfection by [Cleese]...
New York Times
Product Description:
John Cleese stars in this delightful British comedy as Brian Stimpson, the headmaster of a British high school whose obsession with punctuality is a source of humor for his students and joy for himself. Having been awarded the honor of being elected the chairman of a conference of headmasters from "posh" schools. To give his keynote address, Stimpson must travel all the way to Norwich. However, when a semantic misunderstanding sends Stimpson in the wrong direction, he begins a journey that not only finds him racing against time, but also avoiding the police, losing his speech and clothes, destroying a pay phone, and generally railing against a society that seems intent on forcing him to be late for the most important day of his life. Written to perfection by Michael Frayn (NOISES OFF), CLOCKWISE features a pitch perfect performance by John Cleese that makes this his funniest non MONTY PYTHON outing.
