    This flick is an instant classic!

    Wasabi tuna is the best comedy out there now! It runs a lot like a classic John Waters flick, ie. "Pink Flamingos." This Celia Fox lady is doing for West Hollywood what John Waters does for Baltimore.

    The characters in this movie are great. In fact, all the actors in this movie except for Anna Nicole put in their best work. Jason London finally showed some range. I haven't seen him act since Dazed and Confused. Not to mention Antonio Sabato,Jr. He's not just a pretty face anymore!

    I was lucky to see this flick in Hollywood during an exclusive run. I saw on the website that it was opening up wider in July. So if you are in any major cities this summer definitely check it out! Also the website is cool!

    It has a game and the extended trailer.

    "I gots to see that sh*t again!"

    Hollwood Hails the Next Great Writer Producer !!!

    Celia Fox Hollywood's new "It Girl" has truly done it with the brilliance of her new feature Wasabi Tuna. Seldom has a first feature given us a writer / producer of this magnitude, talent and vision. Wasabi Tuna is pure camp at it's finest. A virtual laugh riot from the opening frame, with characters and dialogue surpassing the work of Peters, Brooks, and countless more, it is safe to say that we have welcomed a new era in comedy. With the amount of buzz this film generated at Cannes (even surpassing the

    latest Michael Moore offering in many eyes on the panel) we can only look

    forward to the sophomore effort from Ms. Fox rumored to be an action / comedy with top liners Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta Jones already expressing interest. Wasabi Tuna 's laughs are bigger than Brando!!.

    Saw a snippet at Cannes..looks pretty good!

    I was at Cannes last week when I saw a fifteen minute snippet of "Wasabi Tuna." It really was funny. I didn't even hear about it until I heard Quentin Tarrentino talking about it. He kept talking about the dialogue and how it is one of the best descriptions of Hollywood that he has ever seen.

    From his "word of mouth" alone I had to see it! I went to a screening and it was packed. Everyone was laughing. It has hysterical dialogue and characters. Tim Meadows follows up a great role in "Mean Girls" with "Wasabi Tuna." I never really saw any of Antonio Sabato Jr's work before this, and in "Wasabi Tuna" he was classic. Anna Nicole Smith clearly has a great since of humor and it really shows in this movie. The way she mocks herself is priceless! The supporting cast really helps this movie too. It is an ensemble cast that really works!

    I was at Cannes all week and this film looks to be the most promising. After hearing what Quentin had to say about it, which I believe his words were, "f*cking amazing dialogue, man!" It is a must-see in my eyes! If the King of Dialogue gives the approval, then it must be a hit!

    Bravo to the writer/producer Celia Fox, who might I add has a pretty hot headshot on her IMDb page! This movie will live on for a while! I cannot wait until it gets a wider release so I can see it in it's entirety! I can already see the cult-following that this movie will adore for years to come!

    "Citizen Kane" has nothing on "Wasabi Tuna"

    I was fortunate enough to have had dinner was some of the biggest names in the business recently. Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee and McG were all in attendance. The topic? "Wasabi Tuna". All of us had seen the 15 minute snippet recently showcased at Cannes. We all agreed it was a shame that the clip had not received the Palm D'Orr as it was far superior to that "Farenheit 9/11" nonsense. Francis, probably best known for his "Godfather" trilogy has decided to get out of the movie biz as he could not do any better than "Wasabi". "The way the brilliant Fox combined gay stereotypes with gangster humor cannot be matched" he said. Steven chimed in, "I thought I had portrayed the struggle of a people well in "Schindler's List", but Fox's brilliant dialogue of east LA gangsters makes my film look amateurish". Spike and McG then got into an argument over which action sequence (the repeated asian gymnastics scene or the hilarious drive-by scene) was the new standard in action comedy film. Steven was able to end the argument by declaring that no film before or after will ever be as amazingly written or acted as "Wasabi Tuna". McG then admitted he was considering cribbing a few of the camera moves for his next film. If you see only one film this year, you have to see "Wasabi Tuna". It is the most talked about film of the year (even Quentin Tarantino couldn't stop talking about it). Critics have praised it, and I have even heard reports of people seeing it up to 10 times in a row. Watch out Academy Awards...here comes "Wasabi Tuna"!
