A Fish Called Wanda
Four conniving jewel thieves...three Yorkshire terriers...two heaving bosoms and one proper British barrister. It all adds up to "a non-stop barrage of ...outrageous plot twists and over-the top performances" when a girl called Wanda tries to deceive her Nietzche-quoting boyfriend, an animal loving hitman and an embarrassment-prone counselor out of a fortune in jewels in this hilariously funny farce!

good movie - eldinko
this movie was mildly entertaining. it has quite a few laughs and it also has the boring parts that just make you want to sleep during the movie. however there are very few movies that i dont want to sleep threw at some point these days. could have been alot worse could have been alot better. worth the watchHilarious, inventive, intelligent - clauditorium
Hilarious, inventive, intelligent, densely plotted tale of treachery is full of visual, verbal, and black humour and exciting close calls. The comedy is held together by a solid plot. Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline both give vibrant performances. She is hilariously, transparently duplicitous, and he is hilariously jealous, self-loving, insensitive, and idiotic.A lovable comedy - imagination201
While I didn't laugh as much as I expected given the reputation of this movie, I did have some laughs here and there, and I wondered how it would end.
All the actors are in superb form in this movie, bringing their A game to the project; Kevin Kline is hardly recognizable with a mustach and his psychotic attitudes.
John Cleese also has excellent moments as he is drawn further and further into the plot, but of course, the dish of the movie is the scene with the fish tank :)
If only to see that scene, make sure to see this movie at least once in your life. It is a classic and, as far as I'm concerned, has only been beaten by the Naked Gun own fish tank scene.
