Summary: AQuick and to the point
Review: 'A Fish Called Wanda' accomplishes what many have not. A comedy with a rediculous premise, made believable by the casting. John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis and thier supporting actors are terrific. Just enough Monty Python.

Review: A FISH CALLED WANDA
John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, 1988 Synopsis
Four people try to hide a bunch of diamonds behind each other's back, while an innocent lawyer (Cleese) somehow get's tangled into the mess. My Review
One of the best comedies of all time, and everyone will agree. If you don't die laughing first. It is that funny. The last scene "Cah. . .cah. . .cah. . .OH C'MON!" is a gut buster! Kline got the statue for this one.

Summary: A modern movie with Monty Python flare
Review: A Fish Called Wanda deserved every major award possible. The mixture of both American and British actors were wonderful. Kevin Kline deserved his Oscar for this role as Otto.

Summary: Hilarious film!
Review: A Fish Called Wanda has got to be one of the funniest movies ever. It's got an amazing ensemble cast, with brilliant work by Kevin Kline and Michael Palin. There are too many memorable scenes from this film to mention here - my favorites are where Palin's character tries (repeatedly) to kill the old woman, and the "K-k-ken is c-c-coming to k-k-kill me!" bit. And the part where John Cleese cavorts naked around the apartment speaking Russian. Hilarious. That's the only word for it. I recommend watching this film very late at night with a bunch of other people - it makes it even more funny (if that's possible).

Summary: Fresh Fish for everyone
Review: A FISH CALLED WANDA is one of the most rewarding comedies of the past 30 years, offering up a stellar script, well-balanced direction and 100% perfect casting. The story involves a gang of jewel thieves and the barrister Archie Leach (Exceptional John Cleese) representing the leader in court. Sexy Jamie Lee Curtis teams with everyone to her benefit from Archie to her "brother" Otto (Kevin Kline in an Oscar winning role) and Ken, a stuttering animal lover who always seems to accidentally decrease the animal population with his mishaps. Filled with scene upon scene of hilarious hijinks and no slow spots in sight, FISH is fantastic adult entertainment. Although, if you carry a disdain for British humor, be aware that some of the film does fall in that direction. The DVD has a nice video transfer and a special "Easter Egg" where you can watch teh fish Wanda swim on your television monitor. Enjoy.

Summary: Fishing for Compliments
Review: A Fish Called Wanda may be crude, but it is really a romantic comedy in the old fashioned sense of the word. It contains all the neccesary romance elements: an unlikely couple (Cleese and Curtis); a love triangle (in this case a love hexagon); and just about the right amount of sentiment sprinkled in, But it also posseses a wicked sense of humour the perfectly balances and compliments the romance. In a way, something to please everyone.
The old fashioned whimsy of the tale combined with a sense of the macabre is heightened by the presence of Charles Chichton, one time director of many of the similarily dark Ealing comedies who masterly handles this story of a jewell robbery aftermath, with all it's backstabbing and bed hopping. In fact, Wanda could very much be considered an eighties desendent of Ealing.
The cast is sublime. Cleese gives his usual but still enigmatic stuffy British suit performance as barrister Archie Leach, brilliant in the early scenes where he is stuck in his stale upper class marriage with an uncaring wife and a spoilt daughter. As Leach, defending gangster George (Tom Georgeson) on robbery charges begins an affair with chief defence witness and George's girlfriend Wanda (A gorgeous Jamie Lee Curtis).
Kevin Kline performs a comedy masterclass as the ignorant, philosophy reading, violent tempered Otto, Wanda's "brother", and he seems to have a problem with any men that show his "sister" too much attention.
But Kline is just pipped to show stealing honours by Michael Palin, as the stuttering, animal loving getaway driver Ken. He's George's best mate, and also fancies Wanda, but thinks Otto is gay... oh, and he has a fish that's also called Wanda, which Otto doesn't like. Confused? You won't be, as this near note-perfect comedy fits together piece by piece as all and sundry double cross each other, before reaching a happy climax.
Delicious in every sense of the word.

Summary: This film has not aged well.
Review: And this one is a prime example. Klunky klunky humor. Kevin Kline was one lucky dude to cop the oscar that year because he's really stilted & studied in this. What's-her-name Curtis does her usual flaunting of the then-buffed bod & 2-dimensional cartoon broad impersonation.
As for Cleese, everyone's allowed one Hollywood copout. Fawlty Towers & Python will endure forever!
Amazing what we thought was great entertainment in the fun 1980s!
