Amazon.com essential video:
Kevin Kline took home an Oscar for his performance as a self-absorbed lothario who prepares for lovemaking by drinking in his own 'manly' musk, but it would be hard to single him out as the best thing about the film. The fact is, the entire cast of this hilarious comedy is perfect: John Cleese as the conservative barrister defending a member of sexy Jamie Lee Curtis's gang, Ms. Curtis as the conniving crook out to grab the haul for herself, and Michael Palin as the stuttering, animal-loving hit man whose attempts to murder a little old lady only decrease the size of her poodle pack. Cleese cowrote the zingy script with British comedy veteran Charles Crichton (The Lavender Hill Mob), whose smooth direction balances Monty Python farce, hysterically tasteless gags, and an unexpectedly romantic subplot with style and confidence. --Sean Axmaker

Rating: - A Fish Called Wnda
A great and funny film.....had to have the latest version and all the extras. Great fun and classic film comedy.
Rating: - John Cleese brilliantly displays his comedic genius again!
Monty Python's John Cleese once again offers up a spectacular example of what makes him such a revered comedic force. Written by Cleese and set in London, this comedy has the drama of a bank robbery and subsequent legal proceedings and a romantic twist. Yet, this is not a "chick flick" by any means. Cleese's Monty Python buddy Michael Palin delivers a stellar performance as the stuttering hold-up sidekick, as JC plays the barrister (defense lawyer) for the man who organized the robbery.

Rating:  - No Honor Among Thieves (But Some Laughs, Apparently)
A Fish Called Wanda is a delightful little comedy about a heist-gone-right-gone-wrong.
It seems that there's very little honor among thieves, when four crooks can't follow the get-away plan they'd concocted because they're too busy trying to screw each other out of the loot. We follow them as they plot, and counter-plot against one another, leading to what is possibly the most hilarious torture scene ever filmed, and a number of awkward, aborted attempts at adultery.
The question ... Read More
Rating: - Absolutely great movie
If you don't like this movie you need psychiatric care. This collection of great actors are at their best in his wacky, crazy movie about a jewel heist. Kevin Kline is great as a rather stupid ex-cia agent. Jamie Lee Curtis is very, very sexy. John Cleese has never had a better role. And Michael Palin is wonderful as a stuttering nice guy. Best comedy for all concerned.
