Amy Adler In Mud Meadows, a small community somewhere north of Texas, Reed Fish (Jay Baruchel) is a jack-of-all-trades radio broadcaster and DJ for the local and heavily followed station. The mayor (Katey Segal) is his sidekick and astrologist for the morning program. Also in Reed's future, is a wedding to the lovely Kate (Alexis Bledel), the daughter of the richest and most prolific businessman in town. The ceremony is only weeks away, with Kate and her mother making most of the decisions. Does Reed show some reluctance? He does, and it gets worse when a former flame, er, crush of Reed's comes back to town. Jill (Schuyler Fisk) is staying with her folks before entering law school. Still beautiful and available, Reed is thrown for a loop. Should he break things off with Kate and go after Jill? Does Jill even have any regard for him? Also, what about Reed's chosen profession, which he inherited from his local legend father? Is this really what Mr. Fish wants to do or does he have secret, other ambitions? This charming but odd film looks at life in a small town and its, sometimes, eccentric characters. The cast is wonderful, with Baruchel, Bledel, Segal, and all of the others doing nice work. Especially great is Fisk, who gets a chance to display her strong singing/songwriting talents as well as her acting chops. Why isn't this lady in more films? It's a puzzlement. The sets are a fun look at village locale while costumes, script, direction, and photography all come out ahead of the pack. Nevertheless, those who don't like the above description or romantic dramas, may not find it their cup of tea. But, if it sounds good to anyone, brew a pot and sip, watch, enjoy.

Joe Russell I don't know how anyone could give this movie less than 8 stars. I watched it via streaming netflix and found the movie to be quite wonderful. This was not a big budget movie... but I could not tell. The art design, camera work, story telling and acting were all top notch.It captured the feel of what it is like to live in a small town. What is important... etc. This movie is full of heart. It is like a magic trick when filmmakers can pull this kind of thing off. I wish more movies were made with this much attention to detail.I am a fan... and cant wait for more from this director.Now... go watch it on netflix!

mari_lyn00 I'm Reed Fish, with adorable actors and 'awesome indie date flick' written all over it, it's probably a nice romantic comedy movie, right? Yeah, not really. About a young man who's set to get married to his small town girlfriend, and gets confused when an old flame comes back into his life, this movie will probably not leave you feeling the love and butterflies you'd expect. Though only slightly confusing with it's movie within a movie deal, the real messed up part of this movie is actually the part that's supposed to be romantic and charming. Unless you find a young man cheating on his wife to be, leaving her, and confusing the heck out of both her and the 'other' girl - charming, then no, you will not find this film adorable in the least.At the end of this movie I found myself rooting for no one. I didn't want him to end up with either of them. I mean what did he learn exactly, from all of this? That he wants to go into film making? OK. Actually you know what, I was rooting for someone at the end, and that's for the girl he was supposed to marry. I was rooting for her to find herself someone much better that would make her realize that this guy, is a jerk.

groovymike_16 What a wonderful gem of a film! I am so angry it flew under-the-radar and couldn't have been something even remotely close to a sleeper hit. I would have been happy with it grossing even 1 Million at the Box Office instead of the paltry $3,130 it ended up with in its entire Box Office run, which, to be fair, only lasted a couple of weeks and was only shown on one screen.It's a good thing Alexis Bledel was in this or I might have missed this great little film. I wasn't all that impressed by the trailer but thought it looked decent. However, being a huge fan of Gilmore Girls, I planned on seeing it anyway for Alexis. I'm really thankful I did. The whole cast is terrific. I especially loved Jay Baruchel in it. I've never been that impressed by him until now. He gives a really nice, natural, and charming performance.I'm just so disappointed that it didn't do better. Did they not even market it? It couldn't have been marketed very well that's for sure. It deserves to be seen. I will definitely do what I can to get people to see it. I'll pimp it out at the video store (unfortunately we only got one copy - we couldn't even get 3? Come on!) and if I can find one I'd like an "I'm Reed Fish" shirt. Then if people ask about my shirt I'll tell them about the movie. Hopefully it can be discovered by quite a few people on DVD.I urge everyone to seek this one out.Grade: 8/10 (A-)
