A Fish Called Wanda review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/12/11
A hot tempered George Thomason (Tom Georgeson), pet lover Ken Pile (Michael Palin), weapons maestro Otto West (Kevin Kline) and con artist Wanda Gershwitz (Jamie Lee Curtis) have plan on stealing a jewel. Otto and Wanda frame George and eventually goes to jail. A popular and unhappily married lawyer Archie Leach (John Cleese) defends George and eventually falls for Wanda. Kevin Kline was too deranged, Cleese brilliant while Jamie Lee Curtis shines in a wonderful role. B'oasts a few good lines: Otto - "What do you have to do in this world to get people to trust you?!?!" Wanda - "I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs!". A Fish Called Wanda is a good mix of comical criminals who would do anything to succeed financially ahead even if it means stepping on another person's toes.
