Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
In 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

4 out of 5 stars Fierce is Funny.......2007-05-16

I really enjoyed "Fierce Creatures." It's funny,with a wonderful cast! If you liked "A Fish Called Wanda," you'll like this one,too. John Cleese,Michael Palin,Kevin Kline,and Jamie Lee Curtis are hilarious together. This isn't a sequel to "A Fish..," but the storyline and cast interaction make it just as enjoyable.

4 out of 5 stars Another fine movie from the Monty Python bunch.......2007-05-07

If you like Monty Python Movies, then this will be a tad bit more understated but a really good movie. This movie reunited the cast from A Fish Called Wanda to set us back in merry ol' England as a tycoon buys a zoo with the idea to turn 20% profits or sell it off to the highest bidder. This movie combines classic sexual situation, murder, theft, and the cutest little animals you ever seen. A must see.

3 out of 5 stars funny for John Cleese fans.......2007-02-21

It's a cute movie. Funny for John Cleese fans. My fiance loves Cleese and Cleese was funny in this movie

5 out of 5 stars Man is the Fiercest Creature of all.......2007-01-03

Funnier even than A Fish Called Wanda. Great group of actors and great group of "fierce"creatures.

5 out of 5 stars What a funny movie!.......2006-11-11

This movie is hilarious. It is much funnier than the movie that preceded it, "A Fish Called Wanda." We have watched it several times, and I think that it has something for everyone in the family. There are some adult situations, but they are not necessarily understandable to small children. I would suggest watching it first without them, however. John Cleese is a gem in almost anything he does, and he doesn't disappoint here. Jamie Lee Curtis is terrific and extremely funny. Kevin Kline--well I didn't like his character much, but he excelled in his portrayal. The supporting cast was great and the backdrop of the zoo is wonderful. Watch for the scene with Jamie Lee Curtis and a gorilla. It certainly brought tears to my eyes. And I just love happy endings.

    5 out of 5 stars A tale well told .......2007-06-17

    There are many good versions of "William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream." Among which is this well played Michael Hoffman (1999) version. The innovative use of the bicycle and being filmed in Tuscany adds to the magic. As with earlier versions contemporary actors are used. Only at first you say, "Now where have I seen Puck?" (To realize it was in "Undercover Blues.") Or anticipating who will play Titania? Later you will be so engrossed in the play that you will only see the characters for themselves.

    Now the situation. We have overlapping tales, which in the confusion become even more overlapping and confusing. We have Theseus, Duke of Athens, About to marry Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. Practicing in the solitude of the Woods is a troop of actors that will appear at the wedding. One of the troops is a married man with a roving eye, Bottom; he is soon encountering with a group of fairies. Now this is an interesting situation on its own. However there is more. Hermia is being forced by her father Egeus to marry Demetrius. However Hermia is in love with Lysander. Wait there is more Hermia's friend Helena is in love with Demetrius (who ignores her.) Yep into the wood escape Hermia and Lysander. Hot on their trail is Demetrius doggedly followed by Helena. Mean time back at the ranch the Fairy queen and king has a slight falling-out. So the fairy king intends to correct everyone's situation and teach a few lessons along the way. You get the idea. Now setback and watch the fun.
