Movie Reviews of Go Fish
Movie Review: Dated Home Movie
Summary: 1 Stars
I predicted in 1994 that this cinematic flash-in-the-pan wouldn't stand the test of time. It was all the rage in 1994 and I still can't honestly tell why. With its painful --- and I mean painful --- bad acting and its relentless attempts to be hip and trendy, it seems to be little more than someone's "artsy" home movie.
I agree with the reviewer who finds it depressing to see lesbians frequently portrayed as unattractive, self-obsessed, women-children.... That was big in the 1990s but I think it's changing. (In fairness to the film, I can also appreciate that GO FISH was attempting to portray a segment of society not air-brushed and blown dry.)
What makes this film ultimately fail, in my opinion, (aside from the acting) is that its story takes place in the vacuum of the 1990s young, urban lesbian ghetto. Almost all of the characters' issues, views and attitudes too narrowly reflect this tiny, specific demographic.
There are a few crossover fans out there, but I can't imagine too many Midwestern, middle-aged and/or rural lesbians will find much to which they can relate. As a lesbian friend of mine said at the time this film came out: "Why would I want to go see some grainy, black & white film about a bunch of lesbians whose lives don't remotely resemble my own?"
The normal answer to that question, of course, is: because it's an interesting story with compelling characters. However, in the case of GO FISH, neither applies. There's not much of a story and frankly, you could probably get your junior-high school niece and her friends to do a better job acting it.
Watching this film is like seeing someone's 10 year-old home movies --- bad cinema, bad entertainment.
Movie Review: this movie doesn't deserve any stars!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was seriously considering purchasing this movie, but luckily I saw it at blockbuster one night and decided to rent it before I made up my mind. I think it was the smartest move I've made in my entire life because this movie turned out to be, not only the worst lesbian movie, but probably one of the worst movies ever made! The reviews I've seen for this movie are way too generous I must say. Believe me when I say that I am not a strict critic...I can be easily entertained by the corny ones. But this one could not be salvaged, and one star is much more than it deserves. The fact that is in black and white can be overlooked, but the bad acting, and pseudo-artistic scenes reminded me of a film made in middle school. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I were unable to get through the first 30 mins, so I am unable to rate this movie wholly. All I can say is please rent it at least!Movie Review: twiddle your thumbs instead

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.Movie Review: For mature viewers only!

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.Movie Review: horrid...horrid...horrid...

There was nothing about this film I liked. The acting left much to be desired with all involved sounding as though they were reading from cue cards in the most monotone voice they could muster. The cover and summary of this film are very deceiving and unless you want to suffer through the politics of the butch lesbian sub culture, I would not recommed it.
