Not Great by any stretch but the humor was top notch. The main actor did a good job playing a very real, modern entitled loser. The plot is plain so it relies on the dialogue which is fun- but that's it. Basic Hollywood Rags to Whatever... gets the girl, gets even, no thriller, no twist but slow, don't worry if you need to pee fun... It's like Larry David's son-in-law was given an opportunity and a small bag of money and he hit a two bagger. I liked it but I wish I had my 120 minutes back.

Not my cup-o-tea.

Quite bad acting from the main guy, boring with bad jokes.
I can't understand the stellar reviews from others.
10/10 giving to it looks like others haven't seen other movie than this one.
Then again people have a different taste, maybe you'll like it.
My wife and I did not.
PS ok the black guy and old lady were good acts.

Acting may have saved this movie

This is little doubt that the actors in this movie put on an excellent performance despite the poor and contrived plot line. There was a story here about life and death, being down and out, and purpose but it was so contrived, stereotypical and unnecessarily unbelievable that the message was lost. Rodney was in foster care...really? Is that what led to his homelessness? Give me a break.
not that good

Warning: Spoilers
This movie started well, funny and interesting but then it went bad.
It's about a guy in his 40's who can't get a job, any job, who doesn't try hard enough to find a job, a guy who can't fend for himself, a loser. He reminds me of Pete from "Crashing" series. Very annoying.
Looks like one doesn't have to do anything to succeed in life. Bad message but I am afraid that's what comedies are about these days.
Real nice surprise find

Stumbled upon this movie & decided to try it out. I'm glad i did. I loved the atypical bond between June & Rodney. It was a well written indie film that was both very real & funny.
I'd recommend this movie to anyone. Definitely give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised.

A Hidden Gem that will keep you laughing
Frank_Vella31 March 2019
Director Michael MacRae does a great job at balancing comedy, drama, and telling a well rounded story. Steve Olsen absolutely kills it as "Rodney" as he is both funny and relatable. In a world with so many studio made repetitious films, check out this great original story.
Amazing

An Indie Dramedy Gem
DylanSMPhillips2 May 2018
This is a heartfelt, charming indie dramedy that is anything but indie. It feels like a blockbuster with a story that is smart and filled with witty humour, genuine moments and some very relatable themes and perspectives. The outstanding direction creates an engaging atmosphere paired with some phenomenal and charismatic performances that prove this is that one fish in the sea. It is one of the big indie hits of 2018.
Funniest and Best Comedy

A fun ride of a film to watch with welcome surprises.
colejoel1 September 2018
This film was a fun independent film style romp through a mainstream film type genre. Michael A. Macrae writes some original and compelling characters going through life. Steve Olson and Katherine Cortez shine in this somber but uplifting tale that makes you laugh. The addition of Katrina Bowden and Kate Flannery as familiar faces of quality comedy helps cement this movie as a must see.
Real life Characters and Really funny
Angelicchitwood13 July 2018
As a person that have family members who have suffered through illnesses and horrible family issues. I love the way this movie dealt with those issues, showed the lead female character vulnerability even when she wanted everyone else to think she was not as kind as she really was. I loved that the main male character was funny and showed the progression of a slob, down on his luck guy to a great responsible man at the end of the movie.
Great job!!!
Great job!!!
A NICE MOVIE

Hey I loved this comedy film and its heart
tkonkle2 May 2018
This is what independent comedy movies can do best. Discovering a gem and a clear, funny voice like the director's is why I love indie films.
Fishbowl has a deft touch in direction and writing. The actors are great. The lead is charming and vulnerable and you are drawn in by him and the story. It's a well made movie and worth a few bucks to watch. I wanted to let you know I really liked it and wish you the best.

A film worthy of multiple watchings
cekadah20 May 2018
To mention the plot of this cheerful comedy is pointless because - for me - the movie is more about the characters. Each actor brings their role to life and the movie just flows along and leaves you happy.
This is a must watch for people that enjoy light comedy and oddball characters that you wish you knew in real life!
Yes, I like this film.

Comedic writing at it's finest
smmrgriffiths3 May 2018
The creative minds behind this film really took this baby home... The writing was witty, comical and emotionally touching. The camera work was artistic, purposeful and added to the humor of the movie.
Great film for some laughs, recognizable faces and touching story!

I really enjoyed the story line of this movie as well as the comedy and emotion. Two people not so great at life teach eachother to be better versions of themselves. The movie left me wanting more! I will recommend this movie to anyone.
