Shooting Fish (1998)

scene missing

This is a good movie but american audiences dont get the full picture,
there is a scene where two men who are angry with the fact they have been conned break into the place where Jez lives and smash everything up all awhile yelling things randomly. And while this scene isnt to big in the overall plot i know it was there and i feel cheated.
but at the same time i understand because they are yelling things that relate back to english subjects like "the right to have a warm beer" which i guess americans wouldnt need to know but still it was in the orginal movie. February 28, 2008

Waiting for the princess

This is the most interesting thing about this movie. It is not the princess waiting for the prince but two orphan boys dreaming and waiting for their princess. On the meantime they think of incredible ways to take advandage of people. It has very funny situations that will really make you laugh. I highly recommend it. October 4, 2005

great entertainment

This is a very funny movie. I was captured by the first scam sequence. The cast do a very good job and the chemistry between
Dan Futterman and Stuart Townsend is wonderful. The characters are fresh and original and my daughter and I laughed all the way through it. This is a clean movie with only a few curse words. Dan Futterman is gorgeous and Stuart Townsend even though playing a shy electronics nerd is irresistable as usual. A must see for any fan of one of these two men. August 8, 2003

mindless fun for people why can turn off their mind

Every aspect covered by this film is different from the way the real world works. This includes the totally false technology, business leaders with poor judgment, government officials that give people's personal data to telephone callers, a medical student with the intelligence of a 12 year old, and the way the tax system works. The only realistic part was the few minutes of Phyllis Logan being a competent woman business executive. In her case this probably was not acting, as she is a pretty competent woman to start with. Her part is the only reason my copy has not found its way to the trashcan. There is a reason why new copies are under $...and used ones around $.... June 30, 2003
