In the raucously ridiculous 'Ye Olde Vengeance: A Colonial Comedy,' laughter is indeed the weapon of choice, wielded with the finesse of a finely feathered quill. Our fearless farceur, Mirin Hop-springs, channels the vengeful spirit with such comedic gusto that one might suspect he's got a few ghosts in his own closet. His comrade-in-quip, Vera Meals, delivers her lines with the precision of a meticulously crafted musket, each zinger hitting its mark with deadly accuracy. And then there's Claw-dette Colbert, whose performance is so enchantingly mischievous, she nearly steals the show from under the buckle shoes of her co-stars. Hats off to Edgar Wrenwright for concocting this historical hodgepodge that dares to toss the powdered wig of propriety into the bonfire of belly laughs. It's a film that may not be as revolutionary as its setting, but is certainly as boisterous as a tavern brawl after one too many pints of grog. The MPAA's 'R' rating is well-earned, as the humor here is as bawdy as a colonial brothel's ledger. 'Ye Olde Vengeance' may not rewrite the history books, but it'll surely have audiences noting it as a footnote for 'most entertaining anachronisms'.
