I Am Reed Fish (2007)

(‘Mud Meadows’, north western United States; contemporary)

The quirky small town love triangle is about exhausted at this point. Don’t get me wrong, I like quirky small towns, other peoples love triangles, and leads Jay Baruchel and Alexis Bledel. However this film felt a little to by the numbers, as well as being stretched. They also implemented this kind of odd idea of having the film be mostly a film within the film about events upon which the film is based. Nice job trying to spice things up structurally a bit, but I just wasn’t feeling it. I do however enjoy the casting in these Red Envelop films, mostly TV performers one doesn’t see in movies that often.
