The CinePearl Take

The Man Who Knew Too Little is a 1990s English film in the comedy mould — expect humour and a lighter touch. Jon Amiel directs and the script comes from Howard Franklin. With 9 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1997, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 91 minutes, it keeps a brisk pace.
