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

"Gone Fishin'" stars Danny Glover as Gus and Joe Pesci as Joe do a fantastic job of bringing to life two childhood buddies who are imbarking on a "relaxing" fishing trip. Things begin to go terribly wrong for gus and joe from the very start as they suffer terrible setbacks and mishaps which they overcome with childlike innocense. The chemistry between these two established hollywood greats, Glover and Pesci, is the best since Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. "Gone Fishin'" is the greatest family film we've seen in years and will remain one of my all time favorites. My whole family from Grandparents to Grandchildren have viewed it dozens of times and it still creates fits of nonstop laughter from everyone. This DVD is a must for everyones video library. Hilarious, a breath taking rib buster.

I almost hate to admit it, but I paid full price to see this in a cinema.

When the movie started we thought for SURE that it was a gag... We kept waiting for the REAL movie to start. When the credits started rolling at the end, we knew that that WAS the movie!

If I had to guess, Joe and Danny owed someone a HUGE favor as I just can't imagine either of them being excited about this FLOP!!!

If this thing only had a price of $0.01 it would be over-priced!
Very Funnnnny. Good Family Movie - Reviewed on 2007-08-30

I like comedy. A lot. This movie is a classic dumb, funny, gag comedy. I read some reviews about this movie and frankly don't understand how some people think. Get a life! Laugh a little. I guess some people think Joe Pesci has to inject four letter words into every sentence to be funny. This movie proves he doesn't. Great movie. Grab the kids. Family time. More movies should be clean and funny like this. Two thumbs and hands and arms up!!!

This is hands down the funniest movie I've ever seen. Good clean, wholesome fun for everyone. Anyone that doesn't think this movie is hilarious must not have a sense of humor at all!
