Fierce Creatures is actually much funnier than it is given credit for. I think that it is compared to Fish Called Wanda so often that it becomes known as not being as good. However, if examined on its own merit it is actually very enjoyable. The characters are equally eccentric, particularly Michael Palins zookeeper. Kevin Kline goes from being the strongest link in Fish Called Wanda to being the weakest in this film. The whole film really lacks to chaos and confusion that makes Fish Called Wanda so enjoyable. However, there are still some funny scenes, such as the scene in the wardrobe and John Cleeses phone call that gets interrupted by the animals. In general, its another laughably silly film, but perhaps not as iconic or original as could be hoped for. 7/10
