I'm Reed Fish Reviews:
Don't Be Dissuaded By The Bad Reviews 
2008-11-23 - I watched I'm Reed Fish on Netflix a few days ago and loved it. The characters are very easy to relate to. This movie is for anyone who is unsure about which direction they're headed. Schuyler Fisk sings beautifully at the bar and Reed is just so lovable. Some of the scenes are not laugh out loud funny but will induce a chuckle every now and then. Although, the twist ending is not exactly appealing, I still loved the movie.
so bland youll wish you had never taken a bite 
2008-10-22 - long, boring, predictable...this high school cliche love story only changes as the convoluted ending shows up, not to save the rest of the film, but to change up the "boy gets cold feet before wedding" formula, but it fails to bring any sort of complex intrigue to the film.
the soundtrack reminds of the socal bands whose lyrics please only the drunken 14 year old girls desperate for a boyfriend from a small that that has fallen into the gap.
no offense to drunken 14 year old girls.
Lacking the best songs in the movie
2008-07-29 - The highlight of the delightful film "I'm Reed Fish" is Schuyler Fisk's bar song "From Where I'm Standing" followed by her wedding song "On Your Arm." The movie revolves around her character as well as her lovely composition and performance; yet, inexplicably, neither song, nor any song by her is on this so-called soundtrack.
Wow, this really sucked...(WARNING: spoiler alert if you care)
2008-07-28 - I only bought this movie because Alexis Bledel was in it and overall, I have to say, I'm very disappointed. Aside from the two women (Alexis Bledel and Schuyler Fisk), the acting was awful/bland, and the plot was just really weird/lame. Throughout the story, you get to know the characters and see their relationships develop and then all of a sudden, you realize they were all just acting. At the end, two completely random people end up being the real Jill and Kate and I couldn't have cared less who he ended up with because they were both complete strangers with whom there had been no chemistry developed.
It's really ridiculous to waste so much time building up everyone's relationships and chemistry like that only to extinguish it all in the end. I can tell the director was going for something unique and different here rather than just the predictable love story but honestly, a predictable love story would have been much better. IMO, this just didn't work out at all.
Aside from the ridiculous plot twist, the main character was just not all that likeable. Jay's Reed was less the likeable guy and more the mumbling, moronic loser who I just couldn't like no matter how hard I tried. I wish neither woman had ended up with him in the end because he really wasn't worthy of any of them in any respect.
The only decent part of the movie was when Schuyler Fisk sang at the bar. That was truly the only thing worth watching so please, don't waste your money on this one unless you really want to see her sing (Even then you might just want to fast forward to that part).
just weird. 
2008-07-20 - the only reason i watched this movie was because alexis bledel was in it. and that is the only reason i would ever watch this movie again.
the whole plot that he made a movie about his life is just weird. he in a way embaerassed his ex-fiance by showing he didn't choose her. i personally liked katie (bledel) better than jill in the first place.
and to top it all off the main character (reed fish) was just plain unlikeable. though alexis did a great job playing the town sweetheart getting dumped... i would next time just skip this movie and watch her in something better. don't waste your time on it.
