    One of the least interesting movies I think I've ever seen. Brad Pitt continues to show that his career didn't really start until he was well into his 30s...everything before then sucks.

    Normally I love Robert Redford's movies (that he stars in as well as the ones he directs), but this one was boring as all hell, and I have no desire to ever watch it again.

    And I definitely saw Brad Pitt dying way before it happened.

    Robert Redford directs Norman Mclean's autobiographical novella on fly fishing, country living and familial relations with a strict Presbyterian father. Set in pristine wilderness town in Montana, It's the story of two brothers growing up in an emotionally constricted home. Their only emotional outlet: fly fishing.

    Craig Sheffer and Brad Pitt leads the cast delivering above average performances. The pace is slow and we do get a lot of narration from Normal (voiced by Redford) that helps us understand the story better.

    I'm not sure if I did like the movie but I definitely didn't hate it in any way. The story was great but it somehow didn't really strike any chords. I did get interested in fly fishing though. I thought it was a nice, quiet way to pass the time and relax. Not to mention the free food!

    Puke. As odd as it may seem, the best part of this movie was Brad Pitt's character when fishing. And that was far from redeeming. Redford is one of the most boring men in Hollywood and the era in which the film takes place is the worst the the world has ever seen. I can't stand this movie.

    Redford has a way of making the most mundane and everyday activites into great, emotional films (i.e. Bagger vance - Golf or A river runs through it - fishing)

    A nice interpretation of life. In life, we are who we chose to be. We can choose to have life just like Norman did or chose to have a life to become a sinner. But in the end, we are loved.
