A screwball comedy and a road movie in Everglades, Florida - Porkchop
Gone Fishin' (1997) is a screwball comedy with some road movie
in it, as well.
Taken for its designed purpose - which is to make people forget
about their worries, make them giggle and laugh - it's entirely
successful.
This one has a general, all ages or family rating not entirely
surprising considering that both actors play life-long pals having
grown to be older, dreaming of going fishing in the Everglades, FL
after many years working in blue collar jobs.
This is unique for the time spent showing the fishing spots in that
marshes area, the travel done on an airboat to go quickly from area
to area.
There's also some humor surrounding the people skills of Lynn
Whitfield mainly, and Rosanna Arquette as well, in the way they
react to 2 married men with kids, giving them a bit too much
personal attention on account of relative personalities and
attractiveness.
The soundtrack is All-American, with Willie Nelson in outstanding
shape both with vocals and on-screen presence, playing the film's
anthem.
For those wanting to see the marshes again in another movie, I
would suggest "Wild Things" with Matt Dilon, which was a decent
movie.
The filming is wide-screen, and crystal clear.
In sum, this one is a successful comedy, leveraging the reputations
of both Joe Pesci and Danny Glover in roles that at first glance,
one would never suspected as suitable - as compatible fishermen
and as comedians as well.Good clean fun - mistiblu
I pulled this one out of my vault for a second viewing and found I still enjoy it. It is a good, clean funny comedy. Two name actors who we usually see in a range of roles play it to the nines as a pair of clueless fishermen who only want to go on a simple fishing trip. They have mishaps, screwups and even solve a crime along the way.
If you want a good comedy without today's usual dumbness, swearing and sex, give this one a try.Hilariously funny - vissfam
Joe Pesci and Danny Glover, two matches from the same cloth! We loved this show, it was hilariously funny! Not just that but it was good clean humor, no degrading of anyone else, no swearing, good family fun for any age. We highly recommend this movie for anyone who wants good clean humor.
