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.

Literalmente me reí hasta lagrimear. Ya es una de mis comedias favoritas, la disfrute demasiado.

Anecdote about this one. This came out around the same time they were rereleasing the original Star Wars trilogy so when I went to see that with my parents and best friend at the time and it was sold out this is what we chose to see instead. What a pleasant surprise that was and I think this was when I first fell in love with Jamie Lee Curtis (hadn’t seen Halloween yet at the time).
First time watching it since those days and was worried it wouldn’t hold up but man it did. Still got some good laughs out of it. Just as good as A Fish Called Wanda
