Little Fish, Strange Pond (2009)

You won't be disappointed!

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

One of the worst movies I've seen. Amateurish editing, annoying soundtrack, and gratuitous violence -- used in an attempt to cover up the boredom and pointlessness of the story. Pretentious and shallow filmmaking .This is really torturous to watch. Callum Blue gives a particularly poor performance. Adam Baldwin is a close second worst. Modine's fake pretentious English accent becomes very grating and has no reason. Repetitive backgrounds become jarring. Terrible soundtrack. Just really, really bad.

I will start this article by conceding some points. yes the film cover is very misleading both in showing what kind of film it is and who the main stars are. Yes the film is made by a porn director who has little experience outside that field although he has directed several episodes of OZ! Every review I have read has hated this film. I think maybe people's opinion may be clouded because it was not the movie they expected when they purchased the DVD. This movie is full of original characters and clever story telling. The dialogue (although not as good) is very much in the Cohen brothers/ Tarantino style of talk for the sake of thought rather than plot development and although the story is quite interesting the film is more about getting you thinking or talking about the issues it raises. IE - what is wrong and what is right and why do these 2 opposing forces exist in the human psyche. This is an original film and should be viewed not as a comedy but as a chance to spend and hour and 10 minutes enjoying some unique characters and discuss a subject which is part of the make up for all our psyches and not as a slapstick comedy that will make you chuckle twice if your lucky. Enter this film with the correct expectations and you are in for a real treat. The film does have a religious undertone but I do not feel it was trying to use religion as anything other than a means to discuss the way we battle with "right and wrong" in our own minds

The philosophical questions raised and explored in this film are very deep indeed, pertaining to life, death, love, good, and evil. It provokes many thoughts in the minds of the audience, if you are paying close enough attention to understand the subliminal messages. The first time through it was great, I was left stunned. The second time I watched this with my grandfather, and he elaborated on the messages that Gregory Dark is trying to convey with this film, answering many questions in my mind, and making me love this movie all the more. On the third time around, it was set in stone, as my favorite movie as of yet in my life, and has yet to be surpassed. It may take a couple views to fully understand the meaning behind this film, but then again this movie isn't for everyone, clearly the people giving bad reviews don't understand this movie, as they were expecting more of a comedy because of Zach Galifanakis on the cover. No offense to the people who didn't enjoy this, as most of the people here in the US wouldn't like this movie, but if you are not only intelligent but either in acceptance of wisdom or wise yourself as well, then this movie is for you. Also, the Indie/Alternative music in this film is fantastic! Fits in perfectly with the emotion of the story. The Silent Years and Matt Boroff & The Mirrors are now two of my favorite groups because of this movie! Whenever I listen to them my mind is reminiscent of scenes in the movie (that may be improper grammar, but that don't give me one shite, as long as you understand the point I'm trying to get across ^u^ ). =)

I guess you can't blame whomever whomever financed this cheap attempt at art for trying to trick people into paying for it, but everyone should KNOW exactly what they are trying to pull here. Two years after it is released, they take this pig, slap lipstick on it and try to get people to believe it's another funny Zach Galifianakis movie. It's not, he's in maybe 25% of the film, it's pointless, the black humor is not good either, makes little to no sense and just strings together scenes that are supposed to be deep or edgy and leaves you to fill in the rest. DO NOT WATCH IT UNLESS YOU THINK THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING ABOUT A MOVIE IS IF IT HAS GOOD ACTING AND NOTHING ELSE. I'm guessing the actors did it for free and the rest of the budget for this movie was probably about $200. Calling it Frenemy doesn't even make any sense, to give you another hint at how they are trying to trick the viewing public. Anyone who claims to like this is giving it WAY more credit than it is due. I saw it for free and they owe me 75 minutes of my life back.
