Fascinating
Dishonest marketing aside, this is a fascinating film about life and death and fate. Looking over the DVD box I can see why one might feel fooled. This is not Due Date. This is an independent film that is all about amazing acting performances and a great script. Zach Galifinakis is in only one (though long and crucial) scene. It just seems more like a role his pre-Hangover fans would love. It also has a reunion of Adam Baldwin and Matthew Modine who were last together in Full Metal Jacket. At a manageable 80 minutes, this film is quite worth watching.
film about the good and bad in the world and why it should be so
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
A breath of fresh air.
This is the best movie I've seen with Zach, and he is barely even in it, and honestly I had never even heard of this one until a couple days ago, so whoever released it obviously did a horrible job building up the buzz for this one. Also, i wish they had stuck with the original title, because the second one is too close to a Disney title.. I don't like writing reviews, and I'm not good at it, so I didn't know 10 lines were required lol. So I guess now I'm just gonna talk about random crap until I have 10 lines. I wish this movie could get the exposure it deserves, but with the confusing title change I'm guessing that'll never happen. I hope I never have to meet any of the people giving this movie a bad review.
Well worth the watch
I, like many others, was drawn to this movie because Zach Galifianakis was on the cover. It was not at all what I expected it to be, but I was not disappointed in the slightest. Very interesting, thought provoking, and the dialogue and story are good. Also worth mentioning, the acting was excellent. Zach is not a major part of this movie, so if you're in the mood for a movie that he is more involved in, skip this one and come back to it later(but don't disregard it). Don't be afraid to give it a shot due to the bad reviews, but don't expect to fall out of your seat laughing either.
Perfect mix of intrigue, danger, tragedy, love, sex, violence and plain old American fun
I saw this titled as "Frenemy" but "Little Fish, Strange Pond" is a much better title. It's not just that Mr. Jack (Matthew Modine) and Sweet Stephan (Callum Blue) are small players in the grand schemes of the world, but that the world is a strange place. Mr. Jack and Sweet Stephan walk around L.A. together. It's about the weird characters they meet, the crimes they observe, but ultimately, it's about them, their place in the world, their past and their fate. Paraphrasing from one of Modine's speeches, it was a great day, just a day, but it had the perfect mix of intrigue, danger, tragedy, love, sex, violence and plain old American fun. There was more tragedy and violence, and less love and sex than most people would have in their perfect day, but it was brilliant. Forget "The Social Network", "Little Fish, Strange Pond" has the best dialogue of the year, and Matthew Modine and Callum Blue deliver the best performances of their careers. Be prepared for profanity and disturbing actions, but this is one great little film in a strange pond.
