I think "Clockwise" has been underrated. This movie is certainly not less funny than the much more famous "Fish called Wanda". John Cleese plays an outstanding role as the extremely time conscious headmaster. Very good are also Alison Steadman, as the headmaster's wife, and Sharon Maiden as Laura, his travel companion.
