Editorial Review:
This hilarious hit stars Danny Glover (LETHAL WEAPON series) and Joe Pesci (MY COUSIN VINNY, LETHAL WEAPON II & III) as the funniest fishermen ever to throw out a line! Best buddies Gus (Glover) and Joe (Pesci) eagerly anticipate another quiet, relaxing fishing trip. Only things don't go quite as they planned! Instead, they innocently create an unstoppable series of outrageous mishaps, destroying everything in their wake! Catch all the crowd-pleasing fun and nonstop laughs as these pals land in one comic disaster after another and deliver one of the wildest comedy adventures in years!
Description of Gone Fishin':
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' Reviews:
Funny, funny, funny!!! 
2009-06-26 - Oh, my heck, what a funny movie. I have seen bits and pieces of this movie, but never the whole thing. What a hoot! It was a crack-up. Talk about bad luck....or is it good luck? If you want to have a good laugh and feel better after, get this movie. The price is right,too!
Dumb But Innocent, And That's Not So Bad 
2009-02-14 - This was "Dumb and Dumber" without the crudeness and profanity.
That doesn't mean it's an award winner: it's pretty stupid, but it is refreshing to see a movie in which both Joe Pesci and Danny Glover star and never utter a profane word! Unbelievable! And you can add Rosanna Arquett to that list, too, and she wasn't exactly Mother Teresa in a lot of her other films.
The professional critics totally lambasted this film, which wasn't altogether fair, either. It is refreshing in its innocence (something critics know nothing about) and it has its funny moments. Best of all it's entertaining.
Yes, this is "Lightweight" with a capital "L" but I've seen a whole lot of films that were the opposite and total garbage. At least you watch this with your kids and have some laughs. What's wrong with that?
Turned off half way thru 
2009-02-09 - I have never in my life turned off a movie half way thru, but with this movie, I did. The movie actually annoyed me!
" Gone Fishin "
2008-07-26 - "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.
GREATA!
2008-05-24 - THIS IS A FATHERS DAY GIFT FOR MY HUSBAND, BUT THIS SHOW IS SUCH A GREAT ONE -- I HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE --- GET IT AND BE READY FOR A GREAT FAMILY SHOW, WITH LOTS OF LAUGHS!
