Summary: A Hoot and a Half!
Review: This movie is fun, engaging, bright, and positive. In spite of some grave misgivings when I started to watch, I was definitely engaged with this farcical comedy. I have finally figured out why I was so taken with it--the animal actors!Part of the appreciation of a work almost always is due to the sympathy one feels for the characters. That sympathy is won primarily by assorted Lemurs, Ostriches, Roos, etc. in this film.

Summary: Really funny!
Review: This movie is really funny! I have to admit that it's one of my favorite movies. Laughs definately throught the movie. I love the way the scenes transition.

Summary: Apparently, a minority opinion
Review: Unlike others, I liked this much more than "A Fish Called Wanda". I can't really say why - all the principal actors are the same. Perhaps it's just that it's not as edgy as "Wanda" and I'm a sucker for a comedy with a streak of sweetness. Michael Palin was funnier in Wanda, but Kevin Kline's dual role here is suitably smarmy and villainous without going as far over the top as I felt he did in "Wanda". Jamie Lee Curtis is good in both, but John Cleese really won me over with his hapless charm as the wannabe corporate exec with a heart of gold.

Summary: Likeable Comedy from the Classic Comedy:A Fish Called Wanda.
Review: When a old farting heartless Corporate Mogul (Oscar-Winner:Kevin Kline) takes over a failing Zoo, hoping to make Money out of it, by leaving to the New Zoo Director (John Clesse) by making the Animals Fierce under the supervision of a bright business woman (Jamie Lee Curtis) & the dumb mogul's son (Kline again). The new Zoo Director has to deal with a resentful staff and other complications. Directed by Robert Young (Splitting Heirs) & Fred Schepisi (Mr. Baseball, Roxanne, Six Degress of Separation) made a Uneven but Entertaining fitfully comedy that doesn't quite pays off as it should but it`s Kline`s Comedic Performance comes off best with his fun dual role. The sexual tension between Clesse & Curtis is quite funny that highlights this flick. This was Originally filmed in 1995 by Young and then Largely re-filmed by Schepisi in 1996. Clesse, Curtis, Kline, Micheal Palin, Maria Aitken & Cynthia Clesse, who are also in this, did work together before in the Classic Comedy-A Fish Called Wanda. Panavision. Grade:B+.

Summary: A lethal weapon in every cage.
Review: Why are so many people convinced this is a sequel to 'A Fish Called Wanda'? It has some of the same actors, but 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' wasn't a sequel to 'Life of Brian', was it? This film involves a zoo which falls victim to a money-mad business tycoon. New head zookeeper John Cleese) resolves that the only way to save the zoo is to fill it with fierce animals, certainly a satirically-elemented commentry on a world where people seem to delight in real-life horrors and bloodthirsty videos and computer games. Excellently humorous, touching and well-made film, and seeing a tarantula portrayed as it really is rather than as a rubber maneating monster is the cherry on the proverbial bakewell.
