A Fish Called Wanda - 1988


Chandler - 1/7/13

I'm not really sure what to make of A Fish Called Wanda. It's a quirky British comedy written by John Cleese of Monty Python fame. True to the Monty Python formula, AFCW is filled with over-the-top characters and situations after a diamond heist begins to fall apart. Kevin Kline steals the show, which is odd since he really hasn't done anything decent henceforth (unless you count Dave as "decent"). Basically, the movie is OK... but there are a handful of actual "laugh out loud" moments. Mostly involving the death of small animals, which is always comedic gold.

Rating - 2
