Can a movie with that title possibly be funny? A British-accented French farce (the title on screen is spelled out The Favour, etc.) of grim whimsy, desperate impiety, exasperating mistaken identities, aggravating missed connections. The perspiry comic style of Bob Hoskins, the air-conditioned comic style of Natasha Richardson, and the hyperpensive comic style of Jeff Goldblum inject it with doses of professionalism. More than can be said for the indefinable comic style of writer-director Ben Lewin. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
