Summary
RATING: PG for language
Starring Jay Baruchel, Alexis Bledel, Schuyler Fisk, Victor Rasuk, DJ Qualls, A.J. Cook, Katey Sagal, and Chris Parnell
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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.

Martin A. gave it a10:
Obviously this movie takes intellect and emtional maturity to properly enjoy. A pleasure, I would watch it again and again. Clever without gimmicks, dialogue with bite, a story line that makes a statement. Thank you Reed Fish.
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.
