 A Chip Up the Old Nostril February 24, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
A wicked Ealing Comedy about twenty-five years after producer Michael Balcom stopped making them, "Wanda" is the inspired brainchild of John Cleese and director Charles Crichton (who directed such Ealing classics as "The Lavendar Hill Mob"). One part caper, one part sexy romance, two parts farce, three parts black humor, and altogether delightful. Even the actors with the smallest roles are hilarious, and the four principals--Cleese and Palin (the Brits), Curtis and Kline (the Yanks)--are gloriously funny. The Deluxe Edition is brimming with outtakes, commentary, and all that's needed to justify the price. But remember: "Don't call [him] stupid."
A must for John Cleese fans February 6, 2007

The movie is in great shape, and the extras are worth the money. The cast interviews were quite revealing. Jamie Lee tells who she thinks the best kisser was among Kline, Palin, and Cleese. And you find out if Cleese really was hung out a window or if it was just special effects. Cleese's running commentary was worth sitting through, even for me, and I usually hate those things. The deleted scenes weren't very interesting--just shots, really, not even full scenes. Overall, though, I'm very glad I bought it!

A great movie with a fabulous cast. Super-funny and never lets up with the humor. I enjoy watching again and again.

Hard to believe it was nearly 20 years ago, but it is great to see "A Fish Called Wanda" finally being given the attention it deserves. This was Cleese and Palin at their best, with fine performances from Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis, in this hilarious romp. Kline is a veritable chameleon, able to turn in unique performances in one movie after another, but he never played someone quite like Otto. He and Palin had so many memorable moments together, not least of all the closing scene. This movie will leave you in stitches.
The Double-Dip November 2, 2006
12 out of 18 found this review helpful
This movie is absolutely, positively deserving of a double-dip. The first disc that came out was not only non-anamorphic, it was pan & scan. The movie should have never been released in that format to begin with.
