movie review - Fierce Creatures
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a 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.
