Fishing Naked (2015)
Actors can't fish
I liked this movie a lot but took a couple of stars off because the actors look completely out of place in the wilderness. The girl who plays Amy actually does a pretty good job with a fly rod but it's pretty clear the rest of them have never caught a fish in their lives. Serious points for a fun and beautiful movie though. I want the director to publish the location of the streams and rivers so I can go check them out. I completely cracked up that the creature they stumble on looks like an otter and not a Bigfoot. She is so cute, my kids love her and made me go back and forth over the few shots she is in about 10 times. The other thing that was so neat was how well they captured small town culture. If you haven't lived in a small town you have no idea how old it gets with everyone knowing what is going on in your life all the time. But even so, you still have this unspoken bond when it comes to outsiders. We actually had a call chain every time some sort of fed would enter the last town I live in. The FBI agents in this movie were so similar to the COs from the Twin Cities we see poking around I completely cracked up. Fun movie, I recommend it.

Really, Helen?!
OK, I know we all have different tastes in movies but I have a really hard time believing anyone found this better than a 5 even if they worship Helen hunt. I personally LOVE her but hated her in this movie. I never turn off movies because I always hold out hope they will finish strong. My goodness, this didn't. I liked her Chauffeur but all of the young people in the movie were just plain annoying. When they weren't arguing or smoking dope they just came across like lawn furniture. I know I live in the great American Flyover but, geez, Hollywood, try to do something outside of LA and New York. They are both ugly and tired. I just saw another movie filmed in the woods and it was beautiful and interesting.Give it a try. Helen, you are awesome, one of my favorite actresses but if this is how you direct a movie, please, keep acting and leave that to someone else.
