    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com essential video
    Kevin Kline took home an Oscar for his performance as a self-absorbed lothario who prepares for lovemaking by drinking in his own "manly" musk, but it would be hard to single him out as the best thing about the film. The fact is, the entire cast of this hilarious comedy is perfect: John Cleese as the conservative barrister defending a member of sexy Jamie Lee Curtis's gang, Ms. Curtis as the conniving crook out to grab the haul for herself, and Michael Palin as the stuttering, animal-loving hit man whose attempts to murder a little old lady only decrease the size of her poodle pack. Cleese cowrote the zingy script with British comedy veteran Charles Crichton (The Lavender Hill Mob), whose smooth direction balances Monty Python farce, hysterically tasteless gags, and an unexpectedly romantic subplot with style and confidence. --Sean Axmaker

    Mitchell S. Friedman (Walnut Creek, CA)
    The best Monty Pyhton film that the group did not make. You should watch this film just for Kevin Kline's Oscar-winning performance. This a comedy classic!


    5 out of 5 stars A smashing comedy   July 14, 2009
    bernie (Arlington, Texas)
    This film has a great team of actors that will turn up again in the film "Fierce Creatures."

    Three professional criminals including Georges (Tom Georgeson) set out to steel some diamonds. They need a fourth person with martial or weapons skills. This person Otto (Kevin Kline) is Wanda's (Jamie Lee Curtis) supposed brother.

    Each criminal then covets the pilfered plunder individually. Wanda has the upper hand until the diamonds are not where they are supposed to be.

    The only way to obtain their location is for Wanda to rub up against Georges' barrister. This close encounter irks Otto.

    Will the diamonds be found and by whom?

    The character interaction and one-liners make the movie.

    Fierce Creatures



    5 out of 5 stars Superb Movie, great edition   June 29, 2009
    D. Fournier (Omaha, NE USA)
    One of the funniest movies ever made, and a must-have for any fan of Cleese, Palin, Curtis, or Kline. How many comedies do you know that win the best-actor Oscar?

    1 out of 5 stars Not Quite Like I Remembered It! Ages Very, Very Poorly! Bad DVD Too!   March 30, 2009
    Frederick Baptist (Singapore)
    1 out of 7 found this review helpful

    Comedies don't normally age well because there are only so many times you can hear a joke without getting sick of it and so films of that ilk normally represent sort of a time capsule of what the key events and issues of the time were that concerned people and hence what was funny to them at that time. For those of us that are not of that time dated jokes leave us asking "huh?".

    Unfortunately, this film falls into that category and while there are a few scenes especially between Palin and Cleese that drew a smile from me in remembrance of the great Python days the rest of the film was desperately dated and had me looking at the clock wishing it would end. 1988 must also have been a very bad year for films as that would explain how Kline could win his Oscar. Cleese is a funny actor but he is certainly not a scriptwriter. From the opening credits that were in an off-putting deep blue to the horrible score and background music this film doesn't even begin well. Highly overrated and a film that ages very, very poorly it isn't helped by this very poor dvd version with horrible mono sound quality and even worse picture quality that is full of white spots and other imperfections. There are no special features to speak about like interviews or making-of documentaries as well.

    It's actually embarassing that Cleese and Palin could actually put their names to this film given the vastly superior output that they were involved in from their Python days.

    Avoid at all cost!
