A Fish Called Wanda is a 1988 British-American comedy film directed by Charles Crichton and written by John Cleese. The film follows a group of eccentric characters who plan a diamond heist, including a charismatic con artist (Kevin Kline), an ambitious lawyer (Jamie Lee Curtis), an animal-loving hitman (Michael Palin), and an uptight British barrister (John Cleese). As the plot unfolds, loyalties shift, double-crosses abound, and hilarity ensues in this madcap heist comedy. The film received critical acclaim for its sharp writing, clever humor, and stellar performances, particularly Kevin Kline, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the over-the-top Otto. A Fish Called Wanda remains a beloved classic in the comedy genre, praised for its witty dialogue, physical comedy, and a memorable cast. It continues to entertain audiences with its absurd antics and the delightful chaos that ensues as the characters' schemes collide.
