I wouldn't say that this movie is amazing. I will admit my surprise when halfway through the movie the projector broke and I was informed that no, these characters were not legitimate- they were actors acting in a movie about a movie. Though the intention was to be creative with a little curve ball, I didn't like it. If the movie had started off on this foot, it would have been okay. Instead you get unpleasantly surprised and confused in the middle of the movie and you do not really get your answer until it's finishes. And whether or not that was the "intention," "style," and/or "creative approach," it should not have been so.However, I did not let it take away from the movie. The movie was light hearted with left field problems that managed to not stress me out, which anxiety typically gets the best of me when things go wrong. I must say that the director/screenwriter did a good job of keeping audiences guessing who Reed Fish ends up with. He even keeps you fickle on who you even want Reed Fish to end up with. Which is beneficial when his decision occurs, because you fall for both Kate and Jill."I'm Reed Fish" was put together in a cute, simple style- like that of its characters, their personalities, and the town they live in. It could have been so much better than it was- the film had a lot of potential that just did not fall through. I recommend watching it regardless because it was worth the short time it took to watch it. Appreciate it for its story, simplicity, and cute moments. That is what makes "I'm Reed Fish" worthwhile.

i loved this movie. i thought it was charming and sweet. i just saw it yesterday. i was so upset that i had not heard of it before. my favorite quote was definitely from rex when he was apologizing for the way he acted when jill broke up with him.... "... or threw that hamburger at you." ha ha ha. i laughed so hard, it was grrreat.(i don't know if including a quote is considered a spoiler or not, i just didn't want my future comments discarded, how sad that would be!)by the way, does anyone know if schuyler fisk was actually singing?i fully intend to purchase the soundtrack as soon as i am able. it was one of the better ones i have heard. (juno being number one on my list of soundtrack fantastics) i loved this movie. i did not know anything about it going into the viewing process. therefore, i did not have any preconceived ideas as to what i thought would happen or what i hoped would happen. i didn't have any anticipation regarding the movie or any hype built up. to be honest, i really enjoyed viewing a movie this way. it helped me to form my own opinions about the plot and gave me the opportunity to experience it as one would if one would an actual character in the movie. i loved the twist in the middle. i was totally not expecting it. the movie was funny. the movie was off beat. the actors did a great job and were totally believable! a perfect ten.

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 comedy with some life affirming moments and a few quirks. Indeed, the plot quirks (without giving away too much) overshadow what was a simple film up to the end. I had the feeling that to some extent the writers didn't know how to finish their own story, and also wanted something to distinguish the film. Having said all of that, I liked the film. It wasn't pretentious and had its heart in the right place. Its not going to make you think, or win an Oscar, but its a worthwhile hour and a half.

This film has more in common with a Lifetime cable film than a standard theatrical release. The small budget and short shooting schedule show.The story seems padded and bogs down at times. The incident that causes the rift that is the backbone of the script comes out of left field and is not very believable even in the context of the film. There must be a reason why the goofy guy gets two hot babes to fall for him; just don't ask me what it is. The script doesn't flesh it out and it becomes merely a plot point. Reed Fish's "demons" are mentioned but are only presented in a superficially way.In my opinion, more time should have been spent in humanizing the main characters and less time on the zorse. Still, the "shaggy dog" part of the script was refreshing and added a depth to an otherwise familiar story.The actors are all type cast, but very good at what they do. Alexis Bledel and Schuyer Fisk are adorably amazing. Jay Baruchel once again does an nice job as a schlub. DJ Qualls, AJ Cook and Katey Sagal have their moments.Forget the hype. It is not a sexy laugh riot. But if you're looking to spend 93 minutes with a pleasant cast and a flawed (but agreeable) script, "I'm Reed Fish" is a good place to visit.
