But simple problems mar the production, particularly failed attempts at British accents and a failure to alter annoying British colloquialisms; phrases as "wind screen" instead of "windshield," "shaving foam" instead of "shaving cream" distract the audience for no purpose.

Peering through the dark tinted windshield, the man behind the wheel discreetly -- and expertly -- gauged the size and mood of the crowd. Then he made a quick decision: the candidate for mayor put up by his ruling center-left Popular American Revolutionary Alliance (A.P.R.A.) needed help.
