The Invisible Comedy !
25 August 2010
Warning: Spoilers
A comedy?! Maybe. But, for me, the misunderstanding points where (John Cleese) was considered as a loose stud went on and on and on. I only liked the first one of the telephone call. The matter of (Kevin Kline) playing 2 characters wasn't understood. Even the 2 characters were so silly themselves; especially the father's one; it gave us free farts along the way for nothing but exciting the nausea. Another character, the one played by (Michael Palin), was totally unfunny.

In fact, the comedy in this movie suffered from being nonexistent. The talking scenes are plenty with no ironic stuff; unless it's about (Cleese) being a playboy! Save the sequence of thinking (Cleese) as a killer, the action comedy was miserable as well. I freaked out due to the huge spider which they used more than once. Not to mention the idiot ending, where everything was simply solved by the death of the original owner. Ok, nothing here was entertaining or watchable.

Although I'm not of the ones who see how the first gathering of the four leads, (A Fish Called Wanda - 1988), was the greatest comedy, or a great comedy, but undoubtedly it's more thrilling and comedic than (Fierce Creatures). Maybe this one would be interesting to some middle aged, middle class men who would feel attached to (John Cleese)'s character, since the crazy situations make him win the love that he wishes and never had the boldness to achieve it. Otherwise, it's one heavy movie with empty circles that alleges being funny.

Saying that this is comedic is like saying that Tom & Jerry movies are violent; it's possible!
