Description:
Swift, graceful and yet fragile, the cheetah has always been a source of fascination for Academy Award-winning actress Holly Hunter. The journey to find it in the wild takes her to Namibia, home to a quarter of the world's cheetahs At Etosha National Park she finds the first sign of the world's fastest animal: cheetah paw prints in the sand.

- If your interest is very much Julia Roberts and a little bit Orangutans, this is for you.
If you are interested in learning about orangutans, there are a LOT better choices out there. The film is about Julia Roberts's month-long experience with orangutans, as seen by Julia Roberts, who left the comfortable surroundings normally enjoyed by Julia Roberts. Do we really need the montage of Julia leaving NYC, with multiple art-school close-ups/silhouettes? Or so much focus on her Hepburnesque boat making its way up the river?

Still, orangutans being what they are, there is footage to commend this effort. Seeing the orangutan empty a flooded canoe to make its way across the river and help scrub clothes is genuinely touching. The closing scene is a piece of real life that is understandably upsetting to Ms. Roberts, who manages a short debriefing of the moment, but is clearly, as she puts it, "freaked out".

- Cleese in top form
In this "In the Wild" episode, John Cleese ventures to Madagascar to check up on five captive-raised lemurs that were released back into the forest. Along the way, he peppers his explanations and commentary with typical one-liners, just what you'd expect from the Monty Python alum. Anyone who likes Mr. Cleese's style will not be disappointed. Besides the entertainment value, you will learn a thing or two about lemurs, too!

Four stars. Highly enjoyable!

- In the Wild: Lemurs With John Cleese
If you like lemurs, but this now. Now, now, now. Go on, I'll wait. Got it? Good.

I wish all nature programs could be this funny, entertaining and informative. Cleese's self-deprecating humor and his obvious love for lemurs shine through and make this a wonderful documentary. Plus, his honesty is a breath of fresh air -- after the tremendously long plane trip to Madagascar, an incredibly bumpy ride over what could only charitably be called "roads," and slogging (mostly uphill) through the rainforest only to catch a slight glimpse of the tail of one lemur, almost a football field away, he says, "Was it worth it?" NO, IT WASN'T WORTH IT!" and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
