Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

drtimothydurnin Incredibly funny, perfect cast! No slow points, moves along nicely. I wouldn't change a thing!

classicsoncall The movie is so witty and entertaining I thought it was better than any Monty Python flick I've ever seen, what with three of those players and Jamie Lee Curtis thrown into the mix. No doubt one needs to pay attention because the jewel caper at the center of the story carries with it an entire set of twists and turns before Wanda (Curtis) makes off with the prize. Many of the situations presented are patently absurd, but what the heck, they're made almost credible by a talented cast working with quick wits and a penchant for hilarity. Kevin Kline is particularly entertaining by being an irritating character; when he once again sniffed his armpit while hanging on for dear life outside the bedroom window I just about hit the floor. The trivia section here on IMDb states that John Cleese actually chose the name of Archie Leach as a tribute to Cary Grant because they were born only twenty miles apart and Cleese felt it was the closest he could ever get to being Grant. Personally, I thought the whole film might have been a tribute to Grant considering what a screwball comedy it was. If you're wondering why it's called "A Fish Called Wanda" you'll have to watch the picture. I wonder if Otto swallowed any of those fish by mistake.

George Wright A Fish Called Wanda is one of the funniest movies ever, ranking up there with the best of the Pink Panther movies. The striptease and dance act by John Cleese has to be one of the best gags ever filmed. Along with the fast pace and humour, the movie has a clever script which makes for two hours of sheer enjoyment. I really liked the humour of John Cleese and the acrobatic moves and language virtuoso of Kevin Kline in a British-American culture clash. You won't forget Kline holding Cleese upside down from the window over a street as he extracts an overblown apology from the lawyer Cleese. Of course the acting of Jamie Lee Curtis who tries to seduce Cleese (and succeeds) while trying to keep Kline from tearing Cleese apart is a ongoing farce. Then there is one of Cleese's Monty Python partners Michael Palin as the stutter stricken roommate of Jamie Lee Curtis. With him, the ongoing battle with the old lady and her little, yapping dogs is woven into the wider story of a diamond heist under the erratic and egotistical Kline. Palin becomes another British punchbag for Kline who is only too pleased to mock his embarrassing stutter which results in laughable and lengthy pauses in mid-sentence. These are milked for Kline to deliver more zingers at the poor Palin character. Director Charles Crichton, longtime director on the British comedy scene, pulled off a great piece of work in this one.

mike fernando I'm not going to compare this movie with any other movie. Because the movie is a unique ride and you must watch to see how 80s comedies laid. Even today use these stuffs as materials. Cast looks so great and particularly Jamie Lee Curtis showing what 80s like. So great! Another beautiful thing is the music of 80s. Totally loved it. If you are good fan of 80s music then I'm sure this is one good venture to feel it. III don't want to spoil you with the plot or hint of it, but I can assure you this is a movie that you can enjoy anytime in the day. No big scientific stuffs OR complicated plot which can't understand. The movie is flowing without get you bored. Must watch British comedy with few thrilling moments. Sure you wont regret to spend more than one and half hours of your time for a 80s classic.
