Fierce Creatures re-teams the players from 1988's uproarious ''A Fish Called Wanda'' -- John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin. You go in hoping for something ticklish and inspired, but ''Fierce Creatures'' is mostly a mess: toothless when it should be nasty, not so much madcap as merely frantic. Cleese, with his peerless gift for pushing civility into apoplexy, ought to be perfect as the head of a zoo that's spinning out of control. But he's a passive ringmaster here. Only Kline, in a dual role, revives the earlier film's fizzy high.
