Fierce Creatures (1997)

A corporate mogul sends one of his new executives (a woman), along with his son, whom he hates, to England to run a zoo who has been recently under new management. The zoo's staff enters in conflict with the American managers (as they had with the recently empowered English one).

Mildly entertaining comedy which is critical of corporate capitalism. Despite the good ideas, the screenplay is not in the least sophisticated, the humor is strained, and the ending, which was redone based on viewers' rejection of the former one, is the strainedest, unfunniest part of the movie.

Rating: 39
