Créatures féroces

Cleese, Palin, Curtis, Kline - none of them disappointed me. Fierce Creatures may be completely different than Wanda, but I certainly can't say it's worse. John Cleese and Michael Palin are both perfect, Kevin Kline is more to my liking as the cocky father (but he's also perfect as the son's father) and Jamie Lee Curtis is, admittedly, mostly there for decoration (But what a decoration!). I round up four and a half stars for the number of scenes where I laughed really, really loud for the first time in a long time (taming the animals with a chair).__P.S. Jerry Goldsmith’s music is playing in the background, so what more could you ask for? (13/10/2010)

After the success of Wanda, the producers bet on the same creative team and although this film leaves a little to be desired, I couldn't take a star off, I like Monty Python and Jamie Lee Curtis too much for that. Kevin Kline got the role of a self-centered jerk again, hardly a match for his Otto, though. Michael Palin was apparently given his role to make up for stuttering Kevin – he certainly had the most lines of anyone involved. Anyway, I had fun, and the inventiveness of the caretakers was amazing. I also enjoyed all those killer coatis, rabbits, meerkats, and anteaters. (30/07/2017)
