I love this movie! If you're a fly fisher, great. The River Why is about much more than that. Don't review it as a Bill Dance fishing review! It's a great reminder of why we want to be outside and knee deep in the water!! It's a story of the kid we all wish we could have been.Give this movie a shot. we need another generation of kids loving the rivers of America. This movie does a lot. It wasn't a theatrical destination, but it has what we need. Watch this movie and respond.Don't think this is a fly fishing movie . . . it is not. A River Runs Through It will forever be the standard. This is a move about fishing as a means to escape.

i couple of days ago i found out about this film and saw it today first of all when i saw amber heard's name on it i did expect the film to have many reviews & thought it would be some famous movie i forgot to watch turns out when i saw this its very slow & its not something everyone would like to taste it has some nice dialogs,story & great visuals thats about it nothing more.the plot:Gus is a young guy who leaves his parents for the love of fishing he loves it with passion he discovers himself & finds eddy a pretty young girl who is very much different then himself.the cast:the cast is nice but the lead actor did good & i have to mention amber heard she is just sometimes a very underrated actress to me this role proves it she plays a very stubborn girl but full of life.the relationship of Gus with his parents is weak but when her mother punches him on dinner table is so unexpected i totally jumped on my seat plus there is one smooch scene of amber heard & no nudity here so beware i loved the river fishing scenes those are beautifully shot.overall if you don't have anything on your hands do watch The River Why 2010 my rating is 5/10.recommended

It is hard to point out certain aspects of life. You live a passion but you do not explain it, but how do you talk about it without demising it. Passion is the essence of life and we can only fulfill it when we feel it. You do not always know what you are passionate about. When life starts to expect something from you and it seems tied to you in particular then you understand the real need. We all expect love from our world but we cannot predict from where. When a gravitational pull comes into play you feel its attraction. Loving someone as they truly are is true love and when really expressed it is invisible. In the 'The river why' it is so pleasantly narrated and it makes you wish it was so easy. Unfortunately it is not always like that but the fulfillment in loving is worth the wait.

The only redeeming quality to be found in this film is the beautiful Oregon scenery. However, that means that this *highlight* of the movie- watching experience is the equivalent of watching someone's vacation videos. When this is the best thing you can say about a movie, you are in for a painful time.It's a movie about fishing. Granted, you can only expect so much regarding a movie about something like fly fishing, but it *can* be made entertaining (remember "A River Runs Through It"?). This film has the requisite father-son issues, the "surprisingly thoughtful and well-read" protagonist, the spunky love interest, the "I've been searching for fish, and yet I now know I've only been searching for myself" hackneyed conclusion. The only thing that's missing is a group of people slow-clapping at the end. These are 101 minutes of your life you'll never get back. You have been warned.
