A wildly funny sex farce that smartly combines big-time silliness with sophisticated wit.

A hilarious farce.

Amazing comic performances...give this comedy its lovely manic pace, kept just within the realm of sanity.

The real fun here comes from watching Mr. Kline bounding through two archly good performances, Mr. Cleese coming hilariously unstrung in the presence of Ms. Curtis and all those adorable animals.

Combining the gentle with the vulgar as only the English can, this lively comedy is bursting with character and energy.

Inspired lunacy.

It's still a lot of fun, and I welcome any film that keeps me entertained for nearly the entire running length.

Mostly smart enough to stick to pure farce and let its animals take care of their own rights. It's a charming diversion, and it treads lightly even when it has something weightier on its mind.

This good-natured movie is very much in the spirit of those ancient comedies from Ealing Film Studios in which nice, silly people defend some enclave of old-fashioned sanity against the forces of brute modernism. [27 January 1997, p. 68]

A lovely little comedy that--like its predecessor--will, one hopes, buck the odds and find its audience.

Doesn't quite click.

With this cast, you are guaranteed moments of inspired lunacy. It's still fun watching Cleese get caught with his pants down. But the material seems familiar and overworked.

Amounts to a pantheistic love-in: "A Fish Called Wanda" for vegetarians.

A charming mess with moments of hilarity.
