Never one to play by the rules, Monty Python alumnus John Cleese reunited the cast of A Fish Called Wanda for this farce about a multinational corporation's attempt to turn a public London zoo into a moneymaking concern. 'It's not a sequel, it's an equal,' explained producer-screenwriter-star Cleese, for the actors play completely different characters. Cleese stars as a military veteran turned ruthless corporate hatchet man sent by Australian media baron Kevin Kline to drum up business in the zoo. His plan: the 'fierce creatures' policy, in which the zoo keeps only the most dangerous specimens (much to the frustration of the zookeepers). But Cleese soon finds himself up against an ambitious manager (Jamie Lee Curtis) and the owner's overanxious but dim son (Kevin Kline again), all working at cross-purposes and generally creating havoc. Perhaps it's not the equal to the hilarious Fish Called Wanda, but the stars overcome the convoluted plot with terrific comic performances and the film lands its share of comic zingers. Anyway, who wants their comedy safe? --Sean Axmaker
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Continuation on Fish Called Wanda
If you loved "A Fish Called Wanda" you will love this movie. So incredibly funny I laugh so hard even though I've seen it over a dozen times. All the characters mesh so well and the story line is beyond hilarious. It's on my "must have" list.
Rating: - Funny movie
I loved this movie when it first came out, and it was great to see it again. The quality was really good too.
Rating:  - Not a Fish Called Wanda
Although Fierce Creatures has some fairly funny situations, it lacks the side splitting laughs delivered by Wanda. Overall, it's not a bad movie. For Wanda lovers though, this follow up movie might be a bit of a disappointment.
Rating: - Very Funny
Cute and funny. Story line is a little weak, but the laughs gets you through the rough spots.
Rating:  - Not So Great
Don't go out of your way to see this one. 'A Fish called Wanda', while not my favorite of all time, was definitely better than this. The plot here is very simplistic: save the zoo. It could be for children except for the sexual innuendos. It was more slapstick-ish than clever, more 'cute' than funny.
For a great Cleese movie check out 'Clock-wise'. I wouldn't recommend this one.
