Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 1d This kind of comedy, dry British humor, just doesn’t do it for me - then, now, ever. I think Three’s Company re-runs are more entertaining than this brand of humor. See more Mark B @Thelaser555 May 14 Watched it for the first time the other day and just couldn't see what all the fuss was about this movie when it thankfully ended. It's stupid, ridiculous and racist (Kline continually slagging off 'the English' or 'the Brits' for everything and anything when he himself is a foul-mouthed psychopath) For an experienced barrister in this production, Cleese let's his d*ck get the better of his brain whenever he's alone with Curtis and eventually gives up everything - enormous house, attractive wife, daughter and his profession, to fly to South America with some jewels so he can be with her. As if. Michael Palin draws on his Monty Python days to act the fool as gangster George Thomason's assistant...why would Thomason choose someone like that? Kline eats Palin's pet fishes he keeps in a big tank....but not Wanda, the name of Palin's biggest fish and oh, but of course, the name of Curtis too. This movie celebrates infidelity by the male, crime and a middle-aged man's (Cleese) lust. See more Jordan S. @jswez Apr 29 Solid watch. Not as funny as my parents hyped it up to be, but it’s still entertaining 38 years after release. See more judy b @RT45753331 Feb 5 Am watching it for maybe the fourth time. It doesn’t hurt at all, that two of the Monty Pythons are in it! See more Tim M @tgmacman Oct 1 A crackerjack John Cleese screenplay coupled with a pitch perfect cast makes A Fish Called Wanda one of the funniest movies you'll ever see. See more Sabra P @Sabrapriz Aug 22 If anything, what Cleese and director Charles Crichton celebrate with A Fish Called Wanda is the art of the ensemble. Getting the pieces together is difficult, but when it works, it's a masterpiece. See more Read all reviews
