Critic Reviews

Lou Lumenick

You gotta give credit to any first-time direc tor who attempts an homage to classic screwball comedies on a shoestring budget, even if Kettle of Fish ends up not exactly being the catch of the week. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Pic contains its share of viable gags and stars generate a certain degree of convincing chemistry. But eventually, the seams in personality design and artificially stitched-together script construction begin to show. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Kettle of Fish, starring Matthew Modine as a commitment-skittish saxophone player, is a warm-spirited romantic comedy, but it tends to have a squawky pitch. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

It's a sorry state of affairs when a goldfish and a frog (Ginger's prize specimen, unsubtly named Casanova) have more chemistry than a romantic comedy's human leads. Read full review

Ty Burr

The result is movie goulash: made with love, impossible to digest. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Writer-director Claudia Myers' clunky debut feature makes the case that first-timers should probably focus on either writing or directing. Read full review

Nathan Lee

Premised entirely on nonsense. Read full review

This writer/director needed more checks and balances. It's not often that I spend a movie pointing out film-making flaws, but the mismatched music and sequence errors were more interesting than the plot...or the acting.

A Terribly unfunny movie. The writer/Director seems to have a thing for *bad* accents and every gimmick seems far-fetching and quite annoying.

Very bad movie. I can't believe the actors actually read the script before signing on to do the film.
