Not as good as Wanda but great to see cast return!

Fierce Creatures is a really funny film featuring the same cast as A Fish Called Wanda. This film isn't a sequel of that because of the completely different story and characters within it. It was a funny film but wasn’t as clever as A Fish Called Wanda. It still has that typical clumsy slapstick comedy involved in the film. It was the original comedy style that made me laugh so much. But the things that were a little disappointing was I dont think the characters were as clever as A Fish Called Wanda. The story seems a bit like a family type. I honestly think that not many people like it is because of the weaker story and not as funny story and tries to rip-off a great film like A Fish Called Wanda.


John Cleese was hilarious again. He looks a lot older now than he does in A Fish Called Wanda. I know there is a 9 year different between the two films but the rest of the cast apart from Cleese don't look any different as far as looks of age is concerned. Jamie Lee Curtis is once again as hot as anything. She is obviously a different character but she does have that hot irresistible character to it which is where it is quite similar. Jamie’s hair is really long brown hair in Fierce Creatures but really short brown in A Fish Called Wanda. Kevin Kline is really hilarious again as both Vince and Rod McCain. It is clever because obviously they are both same actor but both look like Kevin Kline even though I know it is. I do think that both characters do seem a bit different from Kevin Kline in a slight way. Michael Palin has a mild appearance in this film which did slightly disappoint me but he was still funny though. Ronnie Corbett is pretty damn funny in it too.


The direction was fair enough from Fred Schepisi and Robert Young in this film. The script was original again what comedies are like really. There were some flaws involved but I did adore the screenplay in A Fish Called Wanda. There were some very long extended scenes involved but that didn’t really affect the film because it adapted together really well which really impressed me.


I do have to say that this film was hilarious but I did like A Fish Called Wanda way more though. The acting was awesome again but not as good as A Fish Called Wanda. That beats Fierce Creatures in every single way. It is on the list of one of the best films of 1997. It is an underrated film that should be considered by more people about it being a loving comedy.

8/10
