Summary: beautiful love story
Review: I found this movie on an old video of random movies and tv someone had given me, and decided to watch it. It's a beautiful story of a woman who finds love where she least expects it. The quality is poor, but that just adds to the indie feeling of it. The acting is not great, but the filmography is.

Summary: Quite missable- only if REALLY you have nothing else to do!
Review: I guess for its time this movie was really groundbreaking because it was the first film made by lesbians for lesbians. But seeing it now is just painful. Aside from Guin Turner, this movie boasts some of the scariest looking females I have ever seen. The dialogue is contrived and the acting is appalling. I mean I realize they had a really limited budget to work with or whatever, and kudos, but theres really no reason you should waste 2 hours of your life on this film. Get something else.

Summary: Great filmography, horrible acting
Review: I have watched many gay/lesbian films, and I have to say that this is the worst one I have seen so far. It does have some great indie cinematography, and it is not your traditional lesbian story (cute girl finding love where she least expects it... with a homely older woman). But I could not get passed the horrific acting. Guinevere Turner, who plays the lead as "Max" does well as an actress, but for the most part, the rest of the cast seems to have the acting skills of junior high students performing a play. Dialogue seems obviously scripted and memorized, which just makes it unbelievable and obnoxious. It was painful to watch. If you are just going to rent this movie at your local video store, then I suppose it is worth the three dollars, but if you are thinking about purchasing the DVD, save your money. Show Me Love, Gia, Better Than Chocolate, and If These Walls Could Talk, are much better choices.

Summary: Go Fish - A Rainy Day Film
Review: I really like this movie. Yes, I know it's a warm&fuzzy film but it also makes me laugh. I loved the short bits of artography between the scenes. And though I did feel that VS Brodie could have really worked on her lines a bit more, and the sound occasionally left something to be desired - all in all, it is a fun movie that I love to watch often.My one question is...what is the name of the song at the VERY end of the movie? When Max & Eli are walking on the rocks? Who is the artist? Unfortunately, the credits do not reflect this song at all. Anyone out there have any ideas? Thanks, L

Summary: An awful movie
Review: I wouldn't care who this movie was about, it was just dreadful. The entire point was to get two unlikely-to-hitch-up lesbians together. However, you wouldn't have known it through most of the movie. Four lesbian friends met throughout the movie keeping tabs on this relationship they were trying to foster. Gay or straight (or anyone else) don't waste your time on this vapid movie!

Summary: great movie and VS Brodie is hilarious
Review: i'm a bisexual guy who loves this movie, especially thw low-key, but funny and touching performance given by VS Brodie, who's the 'butch' in the main lesbian couple. rose is pretty and everything but if u ask me, its VS who steals the heart of the movie!

Summary: Incredibly real...
Review: I'm a little confused why some people don't like this movie. It's on my top 10 list. (that means movies that I must convert from VHS to DVD) Here's why: 1. Realistic characters
2. Realistic scenario
3. Realistic inner conflict among characters
4. Excellent writing Negative reviews for this movie are based on notions of some great lesbian society where everyone is beautiful and all lesbians despise men.
This movie depicts real lesbians with real thoughts. I believe that Daria's scene after having sex with a man, is very true and depicts typical reactions within the lesbian community.
I think the people that dislike this movie, perhaps feel a kinship to the negative ideals that this film tries to dispel. Nothing like being outed.
The premise is basic: pretty girl meets not-so-pretty girl, only to discover there's more to people than just looks. There's just a whole lot more...comedy, sex, coming-out, dispelling of stereotypes.
The only part I could do without is the first scene speculating on who might be gay. I just don't see the point.
The rest of the movie is refreshing and so completely non-Hollywood, that it deserves to be watched.

Summary: One of my favs!!!
Review: I'm not a big-time film buff, but "Go Fish" has been one of my all time favorite flicks since I set my beady little B.D. eyes (and that has *nothing* to do with B/D/S/M!) on it so many years ago. I had such an intense connection with the film right from the start that I have never been able to get very involved with deconstructing or criticizing it. Yes, the acting is a bit stilted in parts, but the entire experience was so *real* to me that I could forgive that shortfall. Maybe the "sub-par" acting was just one of the many things that endeared it to me! I can remember the second time I sat down to watch the movie and realizing that I never noticed it was in black and white the first time I watched it! And for the lady who bought this film for her 5-year-old daughter because she thought it was about a child's card game --- duh! You're on Amazon, you're on the internet -- do your homework first! Did you even look at the film rating or read any of the reviews before whipping out your credit card number? *honestly...* Anyway, if you're "in the life," and especially if you're an energetic little journal-writing, people-watching fledgling from the closet, and you're ready for something NOT shiny and unbelievably airbrushed *straight* (pun intended) out of Hollywood, this film is sure to light a fire under you!

Summary: Oh my god! Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!
Review: Let me start by saying; Two weeks ago, I made a decision to learn as much as possible about lesbian lifestyle as possible through movies. To date I have purchase about 7 films, All pretty good, but this one scared me to be honest. I just did not get it. What this movie did for me is completely understand why professionals make movies instead of people that just might know something about the subject. Ugly; extremely! I don't think you could have depicted girls in any dimmer light. Scary!
