A Fish Called Wanda

I really wish I could rate this higher. I mean, Kevin Kline is just magnificent. Michael Palin is a blast. Jamie Lee Curtis is a joy. And John Cleese is in perfect form. But the script just meanders and repeats and circles back on itself SO MUCH. All the infighting and double-crossing just goes on and on and on and on, and it never adds up to anything. There’s amusing moments but it’s never outwardly funny. It feels like a Monty Python sketch stretched too far. I know this review will be viewed as blasphemy by many, but sorry, it just didn’t work for me, not as a whole movie. A few scenes and some delightful performances, but a cohesive document, no.
