When thinking about comedies, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and A Fish Called Wanda are definitely near the top of any movie fan's list. But, if you were to describe the plots to someone who never saw either of these films, it would seem hard to believe they were intended to be funny!
Both films explore the comedic possibilities from the other side of the tracks: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels follows the adventure of two competing con artists attempting to pull a fast one on a seemingly innocent tourist, while A Fish Called Wanda follows the exploits of a team of incompetent jewel thieves. Viewers will find themselves laughing themselves silly over murder, violence and infidelity, and the GMR crew digs deep into why that is!
