这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。 An absurdist classic This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' . Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to keep moving!. Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
观众对《坐卧两用室》的评价两极分化，一方面认为剧情离谱、演员表现惊艳，另一方面认为编剧粗制滥造、剧情不合理。
该片以其深刻的战争描绘和人性的探讨赢得了观众的广泛赞誉。剧中的视觉效果和演员的精湛表演让人深刻体会影片的精彩之处。
它是一部值得一看的电影，通过其故事和表现手法，让观众反思剧内向观众表达的意义和人性的复杂！
这是一部非常特别的影片，没有大开大合的剧情，没有博人眼球的类型元素，没有贯穿到底的故事脉络。像是一杯温开水，看似平淡，却喝起来十分解渴。
说真的，《坐卧两用室》看完后我真的是久久不能平静！因为这部影片确实带给人的震撼太大了！不论是剧情节奏，还是剧情尺度，都让人不敢相信这是英国剧的水平。
