Gone Fishin' has been called "the Ishtar of the '90s," but that's giving it too much credit. Danny Glover and Joe Pesci (who could have used their Lethal Weapon series buddy Mel Gibson in here) star as slow-witted friends who take their dream fishing vacation in the Florida Everglades and end up having a series of disasters. Trouble is, director Christopher Cain can't get a handle on any of the comedy essentials for a project such as this. The result is a badly timed, badly toned, unfunny movie wasting a lot of great talent across the board. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Hillariously funny
Gone fishing is a delightful movie that the whole family can enjoy.Joe Pescie and Danny Glover are deliver a good clean [no foul language] film that reminds me of the fun times when I went fishing...

Gone Fishin'
You'll either hate it or love it. Great cast of stars including a cameo by Willie Nelson (representing the would-be spirit of all fly fishermen). The Dumb and dumber movie of the fly-fishing world. VERY funny and a good family flick. Some reused stunts but a lot of creative ones too. A real good spoof on those that would rather fish than anything else. Don't pay attention to those negative reviews - check it out for yourself. A sleeper of a comedy. Waiting for the DVD version with cut scenes.

A sleeper of a slapstick family entertainment comedy.
This video received little notice in major reviews but provides great family entertainment. A sleeper of a movie, it deserves better acclaim, and features great acting and comedy situations that keep going throughout the feature. Although some parts can be dull (Willie Nelson has a bit part that could be spiced up a degree), the overall film was very enjoyable and should appeal to the broader audience. Rated PG. Will be great when released on DVD.
