Barrister Archie (John Cleese) falls in love and tosses off more than his wig for sexy thief Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis) - who can charm the pants off anyone! To make things worse, Wanda is already using her charms on fellow partner-in-crime Otto (Kevin Kline in an Oscar-winning performance), a dim-witted, intellectual psychopath who thinks the London Underground is a political movement!
Meanwhile, Otto is making eyes at henchman Ken (Michael Palin), an animal loving multiple dog-killer, who is infatuated with a fish called Wanda. Get the Picture? A British comedy gem, A Fish Called Wanda 'takes a spot' as one of the funniest romantic comedies of the decade (Box Office).
I like this film because it is so funny and witty with all the top actors . it has you rocking in your seats with laughter good story line its about a lawyer and his bossy wife. he falls for a crooked woman and gets involved with her boyfriend who poses as her brother. nice ending.love . it
I bought this DVD because I read that it was voted number 1 out of the fifty funniest films of all time. I've got to say that I agree. The plot was brilliant and the characters, especially Kevin Kline's one (Otto) were hilarious. Would definitely recommend this film if your looking for outrageous comedy.
There was a clip from the film,where the dog is squashed by a skip that made me laugh.I was telling my grandson about this when he asked to see it. This prompted me buy the film as I had not seen it for years. It was better than I remembered it.!
