Summary: Judging by the cover...
Review: ...Once I got over the fact that the cover and the movie seemed to be entirely un-related, I really enjoyed this movie. From the "who is gay?" conversation (face it - don't we all do that?) to the love in unexpected places theme and the interwoven stories of the different characters - I thought this movie was really worth watching.

Summary: quality acting, diverse themes
Review: A gay friend of mine dragged me (kicking and screaming, I might add) to this film. I'm not gay, but I still got a kick out of this film. It was not what I expected. Tender moments, scenes that make you think and scenes that make you double over in your chair from laughter. Definitely worthwhile seeing. An interesting black & white and often surreal view of a sub-culture within our American culture. An interesting & mind-provoking insight into what makes relationships work, regardless of your orientation. Is it looks, attitude, money? The film is not for kids... this film has nudity, adult themes and some domestic violence.

Summary: the trailer was pure propaganda...
Review: After I watched the trailer online... I HAD to see this movie. The black and white film... the gorgeous Guinivere Turner... I was shocked. Having trouble staying awake, while wanting to at least watch to movie all the way through... it's as if you're watching a first rehearsal of a play. Platonic lines and over-rated characters. I only liked the bizarre, eclectic bits and pieces between the scenes... really, it sucked.

Summary: Required Viewing
Review: Follow Max, Eli, and their tight band of cronies on a light romp through the Lesbo Lookin' for Luv story. If you can remember what the film scene was like before lesbians were making films, you probably spent the early 90's wishing for a film like this. It ain't perfect. Some of my friends hated it because of the stereotypes and -- mostly -- awkward and amateurish acting. Some of them loved it for the excellent writing and totally realistic situations. I loved it. It's cute and funny and sexy, with really deep, poetic bits and silly out-of-time commentary. Must see.

Summary: Excellent, with a reservation or two
Review: Go Fish! was made at what I call the last years of truly indie film. It's rough, the dialogue can seem awkward at times, and it's a black & white film because Rose Troche couldn't afford to go in colour. All that said, it's one of the gems of my movie collection, and has been since it first came out on VHS. It was one of the first lesbian films to play with sexual identity in what we now call 'gender queer' terms. I see it as a bridge between lesbian identity built during the sex wars and a freer form sexulity, in which butch, femme, dyke, and so on, have less defined roles in lesbian society. From a historical perspective (Can I say that, even if the film's only 10 years old?), Go Fish! captures a society in conflict, on the cusp of a new order. And let's face it, who can hate a cast that includes an African American woman, a Latina, and a sub community in which race is nothing more than an element of one's being, not the entirety of that being? Some today may see it as a bit hokey, but when I first saw it in 1996, it rang as true as it still does to me!

Summary: independent, low production value, amazing movie!
Review: great script, good performances and a intelligence and sweetness throughout! Very funny and witty. It takes a few minutes to get into the groove of the movie, but once you are, it's a delightful and often controversial ride. A must see

Summary: And did i say boring?
Review: I am quite interested movies i would call: off center. Took a chance and picked this up at a rental place knowing nothing but what i read on the box. Normally i have an uncanny knack for knowing which non-mainstream films i'm going to connect with. But this sucker was boring. I'd proceed from here with details and well thought out reasons except that this movie was too boring to put that much effort into. All those characters and issues and what should have been interesting insights and even humor, and yet i found it extremely boring. The characters were boring, the story was boring... there was just so many things here that bored me to death that i'm sure this review will be equally boring. This monstrosity can be summed up with one word...

Summary: For mature viewers only!
Review: I bought this for my 5-year old daughter because she wanted to learn how to play the card game "Go Fish" and I could not remember the rules. This is not a DVD about card games! Luckily, I was able to pull the DVD out of the machine before my little Jessica got too much of an eye-full. My husband Randy and I watched it later hoping to spice up our love-life. But the woman are pretty bad looking and one does not even shave her legs. We re-gifted the DVD to our in-laws, there was nothing for us. The quality of the DVD was quite good, though, and the Chapter selections and all were nice.

Summary: Watch the L-Word Instead?
Review: I can't believe that someone actually suggested watching the L-Word instead of this movie. I will agree the movie is low budget and the acting is not at all polished but for me, that is exactly what makes it so genuine and honest. Yes, anyone today could pick up a camera and make a black and white film about lesbians. It would probably even be backed by Disney....because gay life is trendy. Ten years ago it was risky and you know this film was not made in the hopes of grabbing stacks of cash. The characters are tangible and believable in that they are acting from experience and not because they spent a month in a dyke bar researching a role. Everytime my roommate watches the L-word I say to myself "damn, this storyline can't get any cheesier"..and always to my amazement, it does just that. The only reason the L-Word would be more entertaining than Go Fish is because of how absolutely ridiculous it is. I recommend watching Go Fish not because it is a huge blockbuster Hollywood hit but rather because it isn't. And that is definitely a refreshing change.
