Brit-Wit Rising.
12 January 2000
British comedy generally comes in two types. One is stuffy and intellectual. The other is absurd and zany. Generally speaking, neither plays that well to the American viewer.

Enter John Cleese's superb "A Fish Called Wanda," and the stakes have been raised sky-high. A superb cast (kudos to Oscar winner Kevin Kline and to Jamie Lee Curtis, Clees and the wonderful Michael Palin) carries out a witty script that is constantly twisting and turning to avoid any pretense of predictability throughout. The pacing is frantic, and the activity enthralling. There isn't a dull moment in the film!

this is one to watch again and again.
