    Nice little movie. Odd at the end, but very sweet.

    Reed Fish thought his small town life in Mudd Meadows was perfect. Until his High School sweetheart comes back into town and turns everything upside down.
    I have to give it to Zackary Adler who directed this film and the real Reed Fish who wrote the story. Movies like this one ha...( read more)ve been done before, but the way this one is done is quirky and refreshing.
    I love Jay Baruchel as Reed Fish. He reminds me of a young Christian Slater. D. J. Qualls was funny as Andrew, in his dorky sort of charming way. Alexis Bledel and Shiri Appleby were also great. I was a huge nerd and very much into Roswell, so it was nice to see her in something. I was delighted to see Schuyler Fisk in this film. She is a natural beauty and has all her mother's grace on the screen. It was also nice to get to see her sing. It reminded me a lot of Sissy is Coal Miner's Daughter.
    I say I'm Reed Fish is definitely worth a look for being a little off beat and delivering a few laughs.

    The moment this movie started I was a little worried. I'm not sure what it was that made me feel this way. I think it was the notion that I was watching a rather uninteresting kid's diary unfold before my eyes. As it turns out...this was exactly the case.
    A cute film based on...( read more) the real life of Reed Fish (who has a cameo in the film) is nothing more than a mildly interesting story with a twist that breaks even the slow pace of the movie. It is actually disruptive which is too bad because I believe it was the writer's sole vehicle in attempting to convey his aspirations.
    Jay Baruchel from Judd Apatow's brood (Undeclared) helps to save this with his pretty believable performance, but there is just not enough meat to chew on.
    We have love and love lost. We have tragedy. We have life decisions, but this all comes off like some teen soap opera reaching for something that it just cannot have.
    It isn't a bad film, but it just isn't a good one.
    Sorry Reed, but your life and realizations are just not that interesting.
    If you are looking for a bland watch that will offend no one and you simply need to cleanse your palette for the next film to come along this is the one for you. Totally bland. It doesn't even make for a decent sorbet.

    Cute but the twist was weird and just confused me for the rest of the movie.

    Not very interesting or original.

    Jay Baruchel and Alexis Bledel star, and I was expecting a cute and not muh more rom-com. Boy, was I wrong. It had it's share of comedy, but this was much more of a romantic drama, and the cast is perfect.

    This movie was extraordinarily unique and the soundtrack was absolutely mesmerizing but that still wasn't enough.
    The movie was quite boring to be honest, and the whole movie was just a complex idea that was hard to even comprehend.
    Some people might manage to find the good sid...( read more)e of it all, but for me, it wasn't entertaining and I was certainly not hooked to the screen!

    I liked this a lot actually. It was a sweet film. I enjoyed the fact that the movie was about a movie in a movie. That sounds a little odd or confusing, but trust me it was an interesting way to do things. I found it unique and quirky. Jay Baruchel was great in my opinion, as was...( read more) most of the supporting cast. Oh, and I absolutely loved the soundtrack! Good movie.

    What did this movie teach me? That even when youve been (metaphorically) shoved off a cliff, as long as you know who you are, you can pick yourself back up and go on. :)

    This film tels a story that doesn't seem worth telling. Besides being uninteresting, the acting is a bit flat. The whole thing comes across as rather amateurish. So, while I'm Reed Fish is not bad, it's certainly lacking.
  • April 28, 2009
    Not the conventionally good movie everyone is interested with but I find it really really good. Little twists in the characters 'though it's not that much of a confusion. And to top it all up, this is the first movie I'd seen that reflected my fear of marriage and things that hap...( read more)pen on the pre-nuptial stage. I can totally relate to it. Watch it to find out why and you just might agree with everything I had just said.

The movie, which looks like it was made on the cheapest camera borrowed from the A/V club, was apparently based on the experience of its writer, Reed Fish, who should either await more interesting exp... full review
