28. Fierce Creatures

28. Fierce Creatures
Rated: PG-13
Released: 1997
Starring:  John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, Michael Palin
Format Watched in: HBO Go

One really can't understate the genius of A Fish Named Wanda.  It is easily one of the funniest and smartest movies to come out in the 1980's.  Nearly ten years later the cast reunited for Fierce Creatures.  While lacking some of the heart that made Wanda so endearing even after all these years Fierce Creatures still packs the laughs and the cast is still just as brilliant.  Michael Palin was probably my favorite part of this cast, once again stealing the show like he did with Wanda.  Kline pulls double duty and is wonderful as well.   As with most of these reunions after some time away it isn't as good the second time around, but it's still worth a watch.

Rating: B-
