Fierce Creatures
Don't Pet Them.
Jamie Lee Curtis, John Cleese, Michael Palin and Academy Award-winner Kevin Kline follow their smash hit A Fish Called Wanda with another hilarious farce which Jeffrey Lyons of WNBC-TV, New York, calls "a very funny picture." A quaint English zoo is the setting for a riotous revolt after the zoo director attempts to rid the park of tis cute, cuddly animals and display only "fierce creatures."

Only for fans of John Cleese, and possibly Monty Python. Others will find it dreary and formulaic. It is rather hard to believe that Cleese couldn't have done better. Based on a short Monty Python skit, it has about a skits worth of laughs. Following up on A Fish Called Wanda with the same cast, I frankly expected a lot more.
This is not to say that there aren't numerous funny moments. In the structure of the movie, too much is revealed too soon. The tension would have been better served if the Cleese character's(Rolo Lee) warm and cuddly side had not been revealed so early on.
In the end, the viewer could make better use of his or her time.Fierce Creatures - movie_pro
A riotous and scatterbrained story of frantic English zoo keeper whose demesne is threatened by a tightfisted down sizing Australian media mogul, Vince McCain. A visit by the mogul's bumbling son, Rod McCain prompts a rash of changes at the zoo, including the order that the animals be made more fierce. In an effort to attract a huge parade of visitors the corporate moguls want to create a theme park atmosphere with only violent animals on display. In protest, the liberal zoo keepers fight back in a hilarious effort to prove the ferocious temperament of animals like the meerkat.
