I'm Reed Fish

I watched this movie via Pay Per View on cable with my daughter last night. Having watched three other movies this weekend, I think I liked this one the best. Reed shows a nearly idyllic view of life in a small town in the summertime, where all the inhabitants are nice folk, and the weather is perfect every day.

This movie is really about that moment when you are 20-ish and you really make the big decisions that can determine what the rest of your life will be like. Since the writer put his own real name in the title of the movie, it isn't hard to imagine that this is his story.

Yes, this is not the most exciting movie ever, but the main character was very likable, the humor was amusing and the girls very pretty.

Compared to "Princess Diaries 2", another PG movie I saw this weekend, "I'm Reed Fish" was easily the more enjoyable film.

I saw this film today at the Tribeca Film Festival, and think that it is a sure hit...I have been to the festival for the past 5 years and this film is one of very few that has stuck out.

Based on the budget and the amount of time that this film was done with, it is incredibly well done. The story Reed Fish has written is fantastic. It is very funny, warm and real. I think this is going to be a big hit.

I had a great time with it today and in hearing the cast and some of the crew speak about the film today, it seems as though they are all very down to earth and extremely deserving of the success that this movie is bound to bring to them.

Parts of the movie were brilliant! The acting was on cue, Schuyler Fisk was so wonderful, I wanted to fall in love with her, too! She actually wrote and performed original songs for the movie!

Basically a coming-of-age story set in a very small town, but what sets it apart from some other films is a visceral down-to-earth reality that makes it somehow better. It has that Indie feel to it without any pretension or unprofessional elements.

It is a really well cast and well done semi-indie film that will garner success if it gets distributed. The crowd at Tribeca Film Fest were laughing & people had so many questions for the director and writer, it was awesomely received and really a pleasure to watch.

Fun, quirky, if un-even story. Reed (jay baruchel) has lost his parents, and takes his father's place as the host of a morning radio show for the locals. He's engaged to be married, but isn't so sure.... then about halfway through the movie, he falls apart. Career wise, emotionally, and all aspects of his life. About the same time, the film itself kind of takes a left turn; the characters start loooking directly into the character. And the story itself goes in a new direction, which takes a few minutes to figure out. The storyline is mostly good.. quiet little town, where everyone knows everyone else. A lot of us grew up in a town like that. Can reed pull himself back together and start over? Life is a lot of bad timing... when one person is available, the one you desire is not. It's not bad... the script just needed some tightening up. Can't say too much, to avoid giving away spoilers.

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!
