In this comedy inspired by the screenwriter's life, Reed Fish (Jay Baruchel) hosts a call-in radio show that reports on the minutiae of life in his tiny town -- the job his dad had before Reed stepped into it. Reed is also about to marry local sweetheart Kate (Alexis Bledel). Those plans are rocked by the return of Jill (Schuyler Fisk), Reed's first great love, who left for college years ago. His rekindled feelings make Reed start to reconsider a life built on what other people expect of him.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Painless if largely unmemorable, I'm Reed Fish fails to distinguish itself from countless other small-town comedies populated by amiably quirky characters.

Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Jun 9, 2007
The relentless quirkiness of the proceedings proves wearisome, and the bizarre structural conceit is not enough to compensate for the overly familiar characterizations and story line. Go to Full Review Toddy Burton Austin Chronicle Jun 8, 2007
1/5
Perhaps in more experienced hands, this self-reflection could achieve insight, but as director Adler's first feature and Fish's first produced screenplay, this mess was better left inside the writer's head. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Jun 4, 2007
2/5
Filled with painfully awkward men with painfully bad haircuts, I'm Reed Fish exhibits less energy than a sloth on Seconal. Go to Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) Aug 23, 2017
[I'm Reed Fish] is pretty much by the book -- a love triangle, a quirky small town ripped right from your favourite sitcom, a little tragedy, a little comedy. Go to Full Review S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media Oct 22, 2007

Christian S @RT03874208 Aug 19, 2024 I really enjoyed watching this movie. Reed Fish (Jay Baruchel) plays a relatable character that I can find similarities to. There was a surprising twist when the audience finds out in the middle of the movie they were actually filiming a movie based on Reed Fish's life. I wish I would have seen this movie sooner. See more Sep 11, 2020 Normally I love Alexis Bledel but this movie was way too slow moving for me. Even after 45 minutes nothing really happened and in that 45 minutes I didn't laugh at all. I didn't want to bother sitting through the rest. See more Jul 13, 2020 Tries to be clever with a gimmick, minor spoilor: movie within a movie. It barely sticks out from other typical love triangle quirky romance movies. A significant lack of story telling near the end leaves many questions to the audience mind to fill the gaps of an already cookie cutter story with minimal substance. However, I can believe a story like this could happen in real life and the acting was fairly solid. See more Mar 8, 2015 Simply terrible. Such a waste of good actors' talent. Needed a better script and fuller plot. And Jill. ugh. See more Jan 7, 2015 good acting, but terrible everything else. See more May 25, 2014 Surprisingly a good movie. Not my usual, shot-em-up action pick. It has a great story and great acting--a very unique film. See more Read all reviews
