Movie Reviews of Fierce Creatures
Movie Review: Fierce Creatures is Fiercly Funny!
Summary: 5 Stars
Monty Python fans will really appreciate the brilliant comedic performance by John Cleese. Joining him are "A Fish Called Wanda" castmates Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline. This is insanely clever, full of inuendos and ironic twists that will make you laugh and laugh and laugh some more. This is my familie's favorite flick ( my children are 17 and 19) and a real sleeper because no one seems to know about it. Kevin Kline fans will love his duel role as both father and son. The whole zoo business makes it even funnier. Fans of English humor with simply love this movie.
Summary of Fierce Creatures
To boost attendance the marwood zoos new director decides to do away with cute cuddly aniamals and display only fierce creatures. Thats when the outraged zoo keepers launch a riotous revolt to save their furry friends. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 12/26/2006 Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis Micahel Palin Run time: 94 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Robert Young/fred SchepisiIn an attempt to catch lightning in a bottle, Monty Python veteran John Cleese wrote this slapstick farce for the purpose of reuniting the comedic cast of A Fish Called Wanda. Fierce Creatures is all about a media mogul (Kevin Kline) who owns a London zoo. He demands that the park raise more profit, so the new zoo director (Cleese) orders that only dangerous animals be displayed in order to maximize ticket sales. In a dual role, Kline also plays the mogul's son, who plans to run the zoo with the help of displaced employees (including Michael Palin) and zoo programmer Willa Weston (Jamie Lee Curtis). The situation lends itself to comedic confusion and split-second timing, and for a few good laughs the film is a pretty safe bet. It's not as hilarious as A Fish Called Wanda (that's a pretty tall order), but Cleese knows comedy, and his efforts are worth a look. --Jeff Shannon
