Ex-policeman Rollo is sent to run Marwood Zoo, the newly acquired business of a tycoon.

However, the zookeepers are less enthusiastic about complying with these demands.

The A.V. Club by

Cute lemurs and a couple jabs at corporate a--holery can't save Fierce Creatures from its manic malaise.

The New York Times by Elvis Mitchell

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.

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers

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.

Time by Richard Schickel

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]
