movie review - Fierce Creatures

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.01.24

The quasi-sequel to A Fish Called Wanda. It's funny, but not as good as the now nine-year-old original. John Cleese is at the outer limit of the age for the kind of role he plays here, and the rest of the characters and story just seem rather roughed-in. I don't want to say "cash grab" but this is too little, too late.

Not recommended.

Well, someone once told me that life is divided in three parts: at first, you have time and inclination but lack money. Then, you have money and inclination but lack time. Finally, you have money and time but lack inclination. :-)
