Ex-policeman Rollo Lee is sent to run Marwood Zoo, the newly acquired business of a New Zealand tycoon. In order to meet high profit targets and keep the zoo open, Rollo enforces a new 'fierce creatures' policy, whereby only the most impressive and dangerous animals are allowed to remain in the zoo. However, the keepers are less enthusiastic about complying with these demands.

Our Review: Fierce Creatures received mixed reviews when it was released, despite a star-studded cast and the success of its predecessor, A Fish Called Wanda.

Although perhaps not as ingenious as the earlier film, Fierce Creatures undoubtedly holds it own. Cleese and Kline are superb, with their comic talents balancing effortlessly on Curtis's sound performance. The supporting cast provide an abundance of guffaws by wholeheartedly committing to their roles as the bumbling yet loveable zookeepers.

An enjoyable film, filled with laughs, classic innuendo and, most importantly, a great leading cast. Not the wittiest of plots, but this is compensated for by the charm and talent of a formidable cast.
