	DVDFILE.COM: A Fish Called Wanda review
		Wanda has been shamelessly manipulating her criminal cohorts, her lovers.
		And poor Ken, stricken with a terminal stutter, is so taken with Wanda that he's named his favorite fish for her.
		Navigating to the treasure chest and selecting it brings up a Wanda the Fish "screen saver." (Am I the only one who thinks that a real screen saver is pretty much fl in order to save the phosphors?) There's a pan & scan version of the film on the second side.

		They bring in two Americans, sexy con artist Wanda Gershwitz (Curtis) and dim-witted hitman Otto West (Kline), who are lovers pretending to be siblings so Wanda can work her charms on George and Ken. Tom Georgeson in a British actor, known for his television and film work.
		A Fish Called Wanda" is the catch o' the day -- a fresh and flaky farce, half-baked and served with a saucy performance by Jamie Lee Curtis and your choice of chaps (John Cleese, Michael Palin and Kevin Kline).
		In a moment where Wanda is trying to express just how stupid 'her brother' Otto is to Archie, she laughs, 'When I told him [Otto] your daughter was called Portia, he asked, 'Why did he name his daughter after a car?'', riffing delightfully on the common American mispronunciation of Porsche.

		In "A Fish Called Wanda," for example, Michael Palin is desperately in love with a tank of tropical fish, and so Kline, who is equally desperate about discovering the whereabouts of some stolen jewels, eats the fish, one at a time, in an attempt to force Palin to talk.
		And he is a master at the humiliating moment of public unmasking, as when Cleese the barrister, in court, accidentally calls Curtis "darling." The movie involves an odd, ill-matched team of jewel thieves led by Tom Georgeson, a weaselly thief who is locked up in prison along with the secret of the jewels.
		One friend of mine already says she won't see "A Fish Called Wanda" because she has heard that dogs die in it (she is never, of course, reluctant to attend movies where people die).

		A Fish Called Wanda was a true British film blockbuster, feted as the greatest comedy film to emerge from these shores since The Lavender Hill Mob.
		Wanda proves the perfect vehicle for John Cleese's in depth deconstruction of the anal-retentive attitude of some British.
		With showered praise no movie could possibly live up to, A Fish Called Wanda is an enjoyable crime caper and that's all, with some legendary set pieces (Cleese stripping to Russian spouting/Palin with the chips up his nose).

		Review: A FISH CALLED WANDA is one of the most rewarding comedies of the past 30 years, offering up a stellar script, well-balanced direction and 100% perfect casting.
		Review: A Fish Called Wanda may be crude, but it is really a romantic comedy in the old fashioned sense of the word.
		The old fashioned whimsy of the tale combined with a sense of the macabre is heightened by the presence of Charles Chichton, one time director of many of the similarily dark Ealing comedies who masterly handles this story of a jewell robbery aftermath, with all it's backstabbing and bed hopping.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- A FISH CALLED WANDA
		A FISH CALLED WANDA stars John Cleese as Archie Leach (Cary Grant's real name), an all too proper British barrister who inadvertently becomes involved with a gang of thieves, after taking on the defense of their captured leader.
		Jamie Lee Curtis portrays Wanda; the mastermind's supposed girlfriend, who is actually part of the double cross that got him arrested after a big diamond heist.
		Otto is Wanda's jealous boyfriend, who poses as her brother (and former CIA operative), so he can secure a position as the weapons’ man on the heist.

	The BIG Picture Review: A FISH CALLED WANDA
		Charles Crichton's hilarious A FISH CALLED WANDA blends together the 'something completely different' Python-esque humor from the UK, with the more savage, laced with profanities humor more common in American films.
		Some of the finest moments in A FISH CALLED WANDA come when characters are horribly embarrassed - like when Kline, pretending to be gay, comes on to Palin outside a courthouse with a dozen bystanders to witness.
		As Wanda and Otto close in on the location of the diamonds, more double crosses are committed - both in the courtroom during George's trial, and at Heathrow Airport during an escape from justice.

		Wanda Gershwitz, (Jamie Lee Curtis), is George's girlfriend, who uses her formidable seduction techniques to get what she wants, and she wants all the money!
		Wanda finagles to bring Otto West, (Kevin Kline), into the gang, telling the others he is her brother - although like most other men in the film, he is her lover.
		The ploys, dirty tricks and double-crosses Otto and Wanda use against their partners, to prevent them from receiving a share of the loot, are classic.

		When Wanda (not the fish) gets caught up with Otto, the nitwitted madman, and Archie Leach (a lawyer) the comedy flies here and there in one of the funner movies from the late 1980s.
		The best and most original thing about A Fish Called Wanda were the hilarious characters that the writers were brilliant in creating, and the actors brilliant in bringing to life.
		This 2-disc collector’s edition of A Fish Called Wanda has great extras, and the audio and video quality are adequate.

	A Fish Called Wanda Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Directed and co-written by Charles Crichton (with star John Cleese), the British film veteran who crafted the fantastic Lavender Hill Mob (1952), A Fish Called Wanda is a daring ribald comedy with a decidedly screwball touch.
		Meanwhile Wanda and her numb-nuts, Nietzsche-loving boyfriend, Otto (Kevin Kline), are intent on finding the jewels and keeping them for themselves.
		When Wanda learns of George's barrister, Archie Leach (Cleese), and that George may possibly reveal the location of the jewels to him, she moves in for the kill.

		A Fish Called Wanda is pure comedy and every scene either provides a laugh or sets one up - it graciously does not waste our time trying to be moral or turning into a formula car-chase flick.

	A Fish Called Wanda Comprehensive Movie Review
		Diamond-loving American Wanda (Curtis) has come to London with her demented, self-loving, and Nietzsche-quoting boyfriend Otto (Kline) in hopes of pulling off an armed diamond heist.
		Wanda and Otto inform on George and get him locked up, little knowing that he has already stashed the diamonds somewhere else.
		This 1988 film is a delightful, hilarious hoot, cowritten and codirected by Cleese and 78-year-old Charles Crichton, once the director of 1951's "Lavender Hill Mob" and a number of 1960s "Avengers" episodes.
