Ep 53 - A Fish Called Wanda (1988) Patreon Pick

Chaos, comedy, and double-crosses. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into A Fish Called Wanda, the razor-sharp crime comedy that blends heist movie tension with brilliantly awkward humor. Starring John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin, the film follows a group of criminals who team up for a jewel heist—only to immediately start betraying each other. What unfolds is a hilarious mix of misunderstandings, deception, romance, and some of the most memorable comedic performances of the 80s. In this review, we break down the story, performances, and why this film remains one of the smartest and funniest British comedies ever made.
