A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
Fun, fun, fun and ... Great!
A Fish Called Wanda is one of the funniest movies of all time, especially when it have Monty Python's actors (John Cleese and Michael Palin) and attractive Jamie Lee Curtis (very different role for him). But the best is Kevin Kline. And the funniest. See the movie and you know why.
The story begins when a gangster George Thomason (Tom Georgeson) and he's stuttering partner K-K-K-K-Ken Pile (Michael Palin) plan together a jewel robbery. With two Americans Wanda Gershwitz (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Otto West (Kevin Kline) they going to do it, but (of course) some troubles comes too.
One of the funniest moments are Ken's efforts to kill an old lady who saw the robbery. He kills accidentally lady's dogs one by one. "Finally" old lady dies of a heart attack.
And of course the scene when Otto eats Ken's fishes. And when Archie Leach (John Cleese) get naked in an apartment. And the end scene in airport. And many many more.
The screenplay is very very good. Better than good. It's a simple tale of little group of stupids ("Don't call me stupid!") and betrayals.
Brilliant movie.
