    You gotta give credit to any first-time direc tor who attempts an homage to classic screwball comedies on a shoestring budget, even if Kettle of Fish ends up not exactly being the catch of the week.

    It's a sorry state of affairs when a goldfish and a frog (Ginger's prize specimen, unsubtly named Casanova) have more chemistry than a romantic comedy's human leads.

    Writer-director Claudia Myers' clunky debut feature makes the case that first-timers should probably focus on either writing or directing.

    This writer/director needed more checks and balances. It's not often that I spend a movie pointing out film-making flaws, but the mismatched music and sequence errors were more interesting than the plot...or the acting.… Expand

    A Terribly unfunny movie. The writer/Director seems to have a thing for *bad* accents and every gimmick seems far-fetching and quite annoying.

    Very bad movie. I can't believe the actors actually read the script before signing on to do the film.
