Watch I'm Reed Fish For Free

Pretty Good

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A cute, small, character driven movie about a guy who looks 15 but is apparently in his mid 20's. On the eve of his wedding, his high school crush comes back to the small town where they grew up. Predictable angst ensues. The soundtrack is good if you like emo country soft rock. The performances are fine, too. Alexis Bledel is very lucky to get so much work considering she only has the one persona. Jay Baruchel channels Zach Braff, which brings me to the main problem with the movie. Unfortunately, it is hard to accept the reality of a town of gorgeous women who inexplicably love scrawny unattractive boys. Worth seeing if you can get it for free, otherwise wait for it to be on Lifetime or MTV.

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," which appears to be the exact opposite. It is of deceit and betrayal, and it may have been the driest movie ever created if it wasn't for some unexpected humor from the anomalous characters—Frank Cortez and Andrew. I couldn't help my uncontrollable anger for this movie that I had to come home to get on the internet to let out a rant. At the beginning, it's quirky, maybe a few "wow,-this-is-stupid,-why-are-we watching-this" type of thing. And then, Reed's "high school crush returns to Mud Meadows on the eve of his marriage to the small town's sweetheart," (plot outline) and it all goes down hill from there. You hate everybody by the end of the movie for their stupidity and devious actions. You will feel nauseous that one person could stoop that low and then never learn from his mistakes, and not even at the end. I mean a Romantic movie? Are you kidding me? There are extremely idiotic reviews which I keep stumbling upon, raving its excellence. I am extremely confused and disgusted. The movie wants you to trust no boy to be faithful in marriage, and not to trust even your best high school friends. While I am at it, the "high school crush" is basically throwing herself at him, and then he is like trying to accept it and she is like appalled by it. Then, she wants him. Then she is like "No, let's not see each other." Then he goes back to the first girl and is crying because he is so upset. He leaves her asparagus on her doorstep as an inside joke typed, "i-love-you-please-forgive-me" action. Then, he doesn't want to be with the girl that he is marrying. NAUSEOUS? If not, waste your money supporting an extremely irritating, annoying, disgusting, aggravating, sickening, stomach-turning, infuriating, frustrating, appalling, nauseating film of "romance and comedy."I actually wish I can give it a 0 out of 10 for this one, that's how horrible it was. I was really upset that an actress as good as Alexis Bledel, would be absolutely wasted to this low of an extent...

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 Office instead of the paltry $3,130 it ended up with in its entire Box Office run, which, to be fair, only lasted a couple of weeks and was only shown on one screen.It's a good thing Alexis Bledel was in this or I might have missed this great little film. I wasn't all that impressed by the trailer but thought it looked decent. However, being a huge fan of Gilmore Girls, I planned on seeing it anyway for Alexis. I'm really thankful I did. The whole cast is terrific. I especially loved Jay Baruchel in it. I've never been that impressed by him until now. He gives a really nice, natural, and charming performance.I'm just so disappointed that it didn't do better. Did they not even market it? It couldn't have been marketed very well that's for sure. It deserves to be seen. I will definitely do what I can to get people to see it. I'll pimp it out at the video store (unfortunately we only got one copy - we couldn't even get 3? Come on!) and if I can find one I'd like an "I'm Reed Fish" shirt. Then if people ask about my shirt I'll tell them about the movie. Hopefully it can be discovered by quite a few people on DVD.I urge everyone to seek this one out.Grade: 8/10 (A-)

I saw the movie last night at the film festival in Hamburg. It's a fun movie with a lot of great actors in it. I really enjoyed it and just want to encourage people to go see it. Without giving away to much - I don't think it particularly needed the story within the story - let me just say that. Besides that, it was a lot of fun to watch and the music in the movie is great. Schuyler Fisk is amazing! She has a great voice as well as good acting skills - I really hope to see more of her in the future! The location was well chosen - beautiful shots of the surroundings as well as the village! all in all -> great indie movie, and even more appreciated after hearing from reed fish how much work went into doing this movie in just 18 days!
