Fackham Hall Review: Absurdly Funny Satire of Downton Abbey Is a Laugh a Second

Welcome back to the big studio comedy. Jim O'Hanlon's Fackham Hall, a wildly funny, laugh-a-second satire in the vein of this year's The Naked Gun, is a refreshing return to a style of physical, performance-based comedy woefully lacking in today's market. Yes, a lot of the jokes here are tremendously stupid (complimentary), ripped from the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker machine which produced Airplane!and Top Secret, but O'Hanlon applies that timeless style to a subject long in need of a good roasting: the British aristocracy.
