Superbly photographed and moderately entertaining utter nonsense.
There's a modest number of dazzlingly photographed slow- motion sex/nude scenes, though I was expecting to see more of them, and a faster pace would have helped. The humour is based on identity confusion and doubletalk, with the odd bit of indecency (e.g. the Monk is instructed to check a possible rabbit's chest for fur !). But where on earth are the ghosts ? The producers seem to have left them out entirely. The end is almost a shrug, and is very unsatisfying.
Overall : Pleasant, but could have been much better.
