MPAA RATING: PG for language

Small-town radio personality Reed Fish's (Baruchel) life is thrown into an uproar when his high school sweetheart returns home in this quirky comedy. A big fish in the little pond of Mud Meadows, Reed has it all: He hosts a radio show with the mayor (Sagal), and he's about to marry the town beauty (Bledel). But when aspiring singer and ex-flame Jill (Fisk) reappears, he makes some choices that throw his life into chaos. (Red Envelope Films / Screen Media Films)

Variety Ronnie Scheib

Pitch-perfect dialogue, quietly dynamic helming and small-scale action on a widescreen canvas make for a very appealing film.

TV Guide Megan Cherkezian

In an age when special effects and flashy cinematography often trump narrative, there's a particular charm to the plain-Jane story of self-discovery.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

Given the lousy singing of Kirsten Dunst in "Spider-Man" and Drew Barrymore in "Lucky You," it's nice to report that Fisk - Sissy Spacek's daughter - shows real talent performing two songs here.

Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy

In I'm Reed Fish, Jay Baruchel is cast as a leading man with two attractive girlfriends, and, sorry, I'm frankly more prepared to accept Stephen Hawking as an action hero.

The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis

Sweetness and whimsy fill the screen to capacity in I'm Reed Fish, a rural coming-of-age tale that's so laid-back that its cast is almost horizontal.

Village Voice Charles Petersen

Short of pulling a Zach Braff, there's one sure way to get known as a screenwriter: Put your actual name in the title of the script.

Austin Chronicle Toddy Burton

The ultimate indie self-indulgence, I'm Reed Fish is so weighed down in its own angst as to practically deserve its own genre.

New York Post Kyle Smith

Watching I'm Reed Fish is like being forced to read the diary of a dull-witted teen who is breathlessly beginning a lifelong fascination with himself.

Jack B. gave it a0:
Worst movie that I have ever seen. I feel that someone owes me an apology. And I want my time back from wasting it during the movie.
