charlytully From my rating of "8" out of 10, it's obvious I thought this film was worth my (and most other people's) time. Generally, the same can be said of any movie scored above 5.0. This movie's rating probably suffers significantly because 1)not enough people are seeing it, 2)the proportion of women seeing it and voting at IMDb is not high enough, and 3)statistics often are senseless. To illustrate the latter point, an individual named George Walker Bush actually set a Gallup poll record of 91 per cent job approval as U.S. president, topping the COMBINED high points of Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln--both of whom are where "W" will never go: the top of Mt. Rushmore. Yet this same Bush set an all-time low of 11 per cent shortly thereafter. Conclusion: most polling is a big humbug. IMDb can be especially so, and you do not need to look further than the User Rating detail page for KETTLE OF FISH to prove it. In the demographic breakdown (as of this writing, of course), IMDb says TWO females under 18 voted, and their scores averaged out to "9.4!" Clearly, this is impossible; the scenario yielding the closest outcome to this "average" would be one of the two voted the movie a "10" and the other one clicked on "9," but THIS results in a 9.5 average! Perhaps IMDb has an electronic system sophisticated enough to count hanging chads--I mean, clicks? No, I don't think so. To sum up, if you're a male under 18 (the one who has voted so far has an average rating of "1," which seems plausible enough), and want car chases, boobs, gun fights, boobs, slit throats, boobs, zombies, and boobs in your flicks, DO NOT RENT this movie! On the other hand, if you're older and\or female, and appreciate a well-written script, believable but quirky characters, and original jazz (heavy on the sax), give KETTLE OF FISH a chance.

smash_looser Worst movie ever made!!! Please see the Real movie reviews from the pros on this movie.Check Rotten Tomatoes on the web for some good independent reviews on this film. The comments made on this site are apparently from folks with some financial interest in this film. I find the positive comments very misleading. I find it amazing how the negative comments are so bad against this movie and the positive comments sound like an Academy Awards Speech. Don't waste your hard earned money!!!!!! This Film is retarded!! I can't believe a film like this would ever be made. Why would Hollywood waste their time on such junk? This film is an attempt at nothing. I ask myself what looser would actually sink their money producing such trash. I went to blockbuster and the attendant even told us not to waste our time or money. I didn't listen and I did waste my time and cash. Please don't make the same mistake! It really is the "Worst movie ever made!"

snethet For the life of me I can't understand the good reviews on this piece of crap. It was pointless. Matthew Modine was horribly miscast as a leading ladies man. Gina Gershon, well, others have said it, but I'll reiterate, why the stupid accent? Totally unnecessary. And her acting was just bad. I don't know if she was thrown by the accent, or what. There was no chemistry between these two. And the girl Modine was in love with, suddenly she's shoving half a head of lettuce in her mouth and acting in a goofy way? Where did that come from? I think we were supposed to feel sorry for her as we saw her marriage to a workaholic begin to crumble, but frankly, I couldn't care less about any of these people.

djones215 I saw it at the Tribeca film festival and I was impressed. "Kettle of Fish" delivers everything you would want from a romantic comedy: a good story, some big laughs and (after a few twists and turns along the way) the happy ending. The thing that makes this film better than most romantic comedies is its original script, its steady pace and a great performance by Matthew Modine. I would have liked to have seen more of Isiah Whitlock Jr. (State Sen. R. Clayton 'Clay' Davis from "The Wire"), but otherwise I have very little to quibble about with this movie. "Kettle of Fish" would make a good choice for a first date movie.
