So grotesquely, extremely racist in some of its school scenes that it ruins the whole story.

Pretty hilarious, even for someone unfamiliar with a lot of the high-society Britishness it parodies (like myself). Really a parody of modern life generally, with more silliness than A Handful of Dust and more somberness than, from what I can tell, Wodehouse. I recommend it.
