Movie Reviews of A Fish Called Wanda (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: A Fish Called Wanda--funny as ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
A ordered the 2-Disc Collector's Edition of A Fish Called Wanda. What a hoot! I had a movie night with my husband, best friend and her husband (we had seen the movie together when it was first released) and our daughters in their late teens. We all laughed out loud! Jamie Lee Curtis is gorgeous, Kevin Kline is hysterical and John Cleese is just lovable. The quality was very good. I did not experience any problems at all with sound as a couple of people posted. This I believe was the most recent re-release of the DVD. I could have skipped the 2nd collector's DVD in the pack. Some of it was entertaining, but very slow to watch. Can't see that I would care to watch that part of it again. I'm very happy to have the movie as part of my collection. Absolutely recommend!
Summary of A Fish Called Wanda (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Tour-de-force performances from an unparalleled comic cast highlight this much-loved hit that Roger Ebert calls "the funniest movie I have seen in a long time!" Monty Pythoners John Cleese and Michael Palin (Search For The Holy Grail, The Meaning Of Life) join Oscar(r) winner* Kevin Kline (In & Out) and Jamie Lee Curtis (True Lies) in an entertainment so impeccably timed and executed that Time Magazine hailed it as: "Geniu[a film that] Redefines a great comic tradition!" Four conniving jewel thieves...three Yorkshire terriers...two heaving bosoms and one proper British barrister. It all adds up to "a non-stop barrage of...outrageous plot twists and over-the top performances" (L.A. Weekly) when a girl called Wanda (Curtis) tries to deceive her Nietzche-quoting boyfriend (Kline), an animal-loving hitman (Palin) and an embarrassment-prone counselor (Cleese) out of a fortune in jewels in this hilariously funny farce! *1988: Best Supporting Actor, A Fish Called WandaKevin 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
