charming indie comedy

Roland E. Zwick - imdb.com
Reed Fish (Jay Baruchel) hosts a radio call-in show whose audience is as loyal in spirit as it is infinitesimal in size. His listener-ship is comprised exclusively of the citizens of Mud Meadows, a small town discreetly nestled in the... Full review

Movie: I'm Reed Fish. Most Appalling Fact: Based off of a true story. Pretty darn close to a true story, actually.Honestly, this is the one person that I wish I have never met. This movie is a so-called "Romantic Comedy,"... Full review

Quirky little film

Reed Fish is, in my opinion, the small quirky type of indie films that the U.S. does well, and which unfortunately are rarely seen outside of America.The film doesn't pretend to be anything except what it is, a small romantic... Full review

What a wonderful gem of a film! I am so angry it flew under-the-radar and couldn't have been something even remotely close to a sleeper hit. I would have been happy with it grossing even 1 Million at the Box... Full review

Adler is marvelous arranging Fish's woozy romantic troubles and his character arc is something I'm positive many will relate to.....it leaves the picture in a state of confusion and isolation.....Truthfully, I would've preferred the picture lead with its heart instead of ridiculous self-awareness..... ...

There's a lot to like about I'M REED FISH: the adorable romance that develops when you least expect it, the movie's appealing vintage look, the sweetly eccentric supporting cast, the small flashes of cinematic brilliance. But it's Fisk who stands out -- she's so natural and refreshing (with a great singing voice, too! ... Full Review

Even if you do know the background, it might be hard to believe what you're seeing or hearing, but Klores has woven their story into an interesting tapestry using archival photos and footage and music. Although the movie looked very cool, I was kind of disappointed, mainly because I found the premise to be very confusing even compared to recent Hollywood blockbusters involving pirates. ...

Perhaps in more experienced hands, this self-reflection could achieve insight, but as director Adlers first feature and Fishs first produced screenplay, this mess was better left inside the writers head. Using juvenile storytelling techniques, the movie rapidly disintegrates into a cheesy mess. ... Full Review
