Lewis and Clark ventured to the unknown west parts of early America. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest. Me, I write my own opinions on movies that everyone else seemed to love.
It's not that I didn't like "A Fish Called Wanda." I didn't laugh once when I saw it, but that can be ignored if the plot is good. And I kinda liked the plot, although it was a bit disturbing - I am not easily offended by cruelty in movies, but the treatment that Ken gets throughout the movie is just disgusting, and his revenge on Otto is not substantial enough. Also, some points in the movie are just plain corny, like Ken's aforementioned revenge.
(SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! I mean, come on. Running over Otto with a steamroller? That is really corny. And why are his feet stuck in place anyway? He was just moving his feet a few seconds earlier. This would satisfy me, however, if it weren't for a final shot of Otto, covered in cement, looking in the airplane window. What did Ken do, really, besides getting Otto a little dirty? SPOILERS OVER! SPOILERS OVER!)
Not a complete waste of time, but there are definitely better movies. If you want to see a movie about ruthless people duking it out over big money, the superior movie is..."Ruthless People." If you wanna see Jamie Lee Curtis sleeping around, the superior movie is "Trading Places." If you wanna see John Cleese and Michael Palin goofing around, the superior movies are "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Monty Python's Life of Brian", or countless other displays of Python silliness.
