Community Reviews

Viewers generally find 'A Fish Called Wanda' to be a hilariously delightful comedy, with its sharp British humor and a fantastic ensemble cast led by Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and John Cleese. The film's cleverly structured plot, filled with twists and abundant gags, keeps audiences entertained throughout. While some find it a bit slow to start, the overall reception is overwhelmingly positive, praising its wit and rewatchability.

👍 Brilliant ensemble cast chemistry

👎 May start off slow for some
