Clockwise is a great movie for those fond of outdated humour and a movie that takes long to become something you could bear to watch. The acting was superb and having John Cleese as the star, playing an always-on-time head teacher obsessed with time, made it much more bearable to watch. On the other hand, it had a tendency to repeat itself. This is shown when he continuously sends any naughty students to his office at" 9:20" for "execution ". Although this was intended to be a common cliché in the film, it bores you after it's been said more than twice. It was about a headmaster(Brian Stimpson), who was obsessed with time, although he was late for every thing when he was younger. In the movie, he is trying to be on time for a meeting, however everything that possibly can, goes wrong in the worst possible way. Overall, I didn't enjoy this movie as much as others, mostly because it was filled with unfunny jokes and because after a while, you may get quite bored. If I was to recommend it, it would be to the older audience, as they would probably understand the jokes better than me.
