So, 'Secret Advisor' from 1988 is this offbeat comedy that really leans into its absurd premise. You’ve got these builders who inadvertently dig up a coffin, and lo and behold, it contains a secret adviser from ages past. The humor is pretty quirky, with a sort of slapstick vibe as the resurrected adviser tries to navigate modern life. There's this intriguing mix of historical satire with contemporary social commentary. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it adds to the film's charm. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain nostalgic quality. And the performances... well, they’re eccentric, which fits the film's oddball atmosphere nicely. It's definitely one of those flicks that feels like a hidden treasure for collectors who appreciate peculiar comedies.
