Jungle Cruise (12A)
Verdict: Overlong family fun
Some years ago I interviewed a chortling John Cleese, who told me that a U.S. network had paid handsomely to adapt Fawlty Towers.
The executives then holed up in a hotel for three days to discuss how they were going to do it, finally emerging to share with Cleese their masterstroke: 'We've decided to take the Basil character out.'
I like to think there was a similarly intensive brainstorming session behind the titling of The Suicide Squad, the latest addition to the so-called DC Universe and a sequel of sorts to 2016's Suicide Squad.
