it's funny

i don't know why people are talking smack about this film. It's funny and stupid at the same time. Joe Pesci and Danny Glover are going fishing before the Thanksgiving holidays and everything turns into a disaster. It's just funny.

Country Grammar

According to Murphy's law, "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong", and that is basically what happens with Joe and Gus for most of the time. These two fellas intend to go for a fishing, but things don't go according to plan, delivering a lot of bad situations-- which aren't that bad, since both characters are optimist. What amazes me the most is how the humor scenes are filled with original jokes, like the scene in which they are in the first restaurant making their orders like a homosexual couple, and not paying attention that everybody around them felt that way. It's funny how filmmakers portray them like two very innocent guys that end up succeeding in getting the prize-- in fact, the smaller prize-, making you feel like there's no need to be a smart pants to be rewarded. I read some criticism towards the acting, but in my point of view, the whole cast is professional, and the main actors are even a little above average. Besides, the plot is fast paced, never tiring the spectator. Also, it's a BIG personal coincidence that they mention 1972's "Deliverance", given that I was just about to watch that movie, but preferred catching what was on cable. All in all, "Gone Fishin'" is surely a feel good movie that have been hidden from mainstream since it was released, but it's hard for you to not enjoy it!
