Rating: Summary: The Greatest Movie Ever Review: Maybe it's just me, but there's something sweet and endearing about a bunch of lesbians who can't act none-the-less giving heartfelt, if stilted, performances. You get involved in the story despite yourself.The video cover is a bait and switch, though. The actress who plays Max is the only really hot woman in the movie, and there's a reason why the other woman on the cover has her back turned.
Rating: Summary: I loved it!!! Review: Most people do not give this movie the second chance that it needs. The first time I watched it, I didn't like it. The second time, I realized the depth of the movies meaning. It deals with soooo many of todays issues. It definately focuses on the predjudice WITHIN the lesbian community and how we judge each other unfairly! I own this movie and watch it at least 4-5 times a year. The acting isn't great but, it has a meaning that is worth overlooking it's pitfalls. The love story is a nice touch. I recommend this movie to anyone who will watch it and LISTEN to the deeper, more meaningful sections of the story.
Rating: Summary: the worst Review: Oh...My...God... This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. I don't know much about lesbians but when I have my bicurious fantasies I would like to think of them as anything other than the women in this movie. You know, when I look at the box cover I just have to laugh at how easily I was duped by this ridiculous black and white spectacle. Believe me, none of the women in this movie look remotely like the girl on the cover and... I could go on and on. Overall, the movie was terrible, the plot was boring, the acting was ...ill, and just about everything bad you read in these reviews is probably true.
Rating: Summary: Educational, Entertaining, Lesbians Review: So here's how it happens: Max (Turner) is a young lesbian, not knowing exactly what to look for in a mate. Current qualifications: fashion sense. Needness to say, she's not having an easy time, until her roommate, a more experienced woman, begins to take an interest in finding someone for the lonely girl. This movie portrays lesbian life in a very accurate way. The way the characters speak, dress and gesture all have a strong sense of reality. At the same time, the conversations are frequently quite funny and insightful. It's a wonderful and rare mix of humour and education, thanks to an extreamly well written script. The only real weakness is the acting. The entire movie feels as though the cast mearly read the script then went and filmed it as soon as they could stumble over the words. However, the acting is at least consistant, which makes it easier to ignore, as opposed to inconsistantly played characters. If you're into modern and accurate portraits of lesbian culture, "Go Fish" is a movie you will almost certainly enjoy.

Rating: Summary: really good, believe me! Review: The plot is simple, girl looks for girl. Black and white pic. Easy, flows, wonderful. This movie talks about real life, but keeps it distant from what hetties think lesbian life is, or should be. Some stereotypes, but overall good movie.... One of my faves.
Rating: Summary: Horrible acting--i swear someone made this in their basement Review: The reason this movie was so highly acclaimed is because it has some touching moments, a controversial topic, and is funny at times. The idea of the movie is far better than the movie itself. And it has some of the worst acting and lines you've ever seen, and most of it looks like some poor schmuck had kids do this in his basement after giving them 5 minutes to memorize the whole script. And the budget for this movie had to be ultra cheap because the camera and sound quality are poor and even annoying at times. Reminds me of early John Waters films--but his are comedies and the poor quality makes them funnier. With Go Fish, it's just really, really bad. I watched it on cable years ago and my mom walked in and thought I was watching something my friends made up for fun. Don't waste your money.
Rating: Summary: for I Davis on song at the end of go fish Review: the song at the end is by mila drumke and it's called "someone" :-)
Rating: Summary: Watch the L-Word Instead? Review: the thing about this movie is that it is bad. The only plot is that there are two women, and woohoo! They end up together! I bet you couldn't have guessed that! What the hell else are they going to do - they're lesbians! That is what we want to see! But the fact that there are no subplots, no... anything else to keep anyone watching is just pathetic. Just because it's old doesn't mean we have to hold on to it. Anyone could just as easily make a movie in black and white, have two women cut each other's nails, and it would probably be better because maybe it would waste less of my time. Now, don't get me wrong, I know that many people do like this movie. I don't know why. All I am saying is, if you want to watch it, rent it first. Actually, just rent something else. Go watch the L-word. That is much better.
